Contributed by Amiri Hooker on May 1, 2021

We are practicing this abiding in Christ as we worship together with the hope that it will continue after the benediction is pronounced and the postlude ends.

Like the good shepherd of last week’s text, this week’s image of the vine is another extended metaphor, which also borrows from and adapts Old Testament imagery for Israel.

Love Series

Contributed by Jenny Franklin on Oct 18, 2024

Jesus said, “I am the vine, and you are the branches: He who abides in me, and I in him produces much fruit.” The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. God places one of the fruits above the others. Love is above the others

What is LOVE? 1. LOVE is a Fruit that comes from abiding in the vine. Abide in me, and I in you. A branch can’t bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine. Neither can you unless you abide in me. I am the vine, and you are the branches: He who abides in me, and I in him produces much ...read more

The Victory In Jesus Part 1: Gethsemane Series

Contributed by Perry Greene on Apr 8, 2019

Over the years I have paid little attention to Gethsemane other than it was where Jesus prayed before his arrest. However, Gethsemane is where the spiritual victory was won. If it had not been for what happened in Gethsemane, there might not have been a crucifixion or a resurrection.

1. Survey: 85% of Americans say they pray – some a lot, some little. In fact, 20% of self-proclaimed atheists and agnostics claim to pray. There is a source of strength in prayer. We want to take a look at the key place of prayer for Jesus, Gethsemane. 2. An Overview to Gethsemane a. Jesus and ...read more

Restore To Me The Joy Of Your Salvation

Contributed by Jerry Smith on Mar 11, 2008

The basic premise is that we are to let Jesus so fill our lives that He spills out and overflows from our life to others. Over the pass three weeks while reading the book I had to come ...read more
