    Jeremiah 23 says that Jehovah our Righteousness will arise out of the branch of David. In Revelation 22 Jesus said He was the Root and the offspring of David. This takes a deeper look at this topic.

    Is Jesus Jehovah? Throughout the New Testament, Jesus is given attributes that the LORD (Jehovah) of the Old Testament identified for Himself. God stated that He would judge the world in the Old Testament, the New Testament states that, “For the Father judges no one, but has committed all judgment ...read more

    Why did the farmer in this parable plant the mustard seed? Jesus doesn’t stress the harvest from this tree... only the fact that birds come and settle in its branches. Why?

    OPEN: There’s a story about a student from MIT who spent an entire summer going to the Harvard football field every day wearing a black and white striped shirt walking up and down the field for ten or fifteen minutes throwing birdseed and blowing a whistle. Then he would walk off the field. At ...read more

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, “The religion that is afraid of science dishonors God and commits suicide.” Science and religion aren’t enemies. They are allies. In a sense, every ology is a branch of theology.

    Part 2 of a series leading up to Christmas. Sometimes we go through seasons of "Winter" or difficulty. John 15, the vine and branches, talks about our pruning and preparation.

    WEATHER THE WINTER Times And Seasons Part 2 Last week we started a series called Times and Seasons, and we saw that Solomon said in Eccl 3:1-2, There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: One of the seasons he talks about, is… There's a time to sow and ...read more

    Suddenly. Acts 2:1-8TPT One man stated, There is no comparison between the power of satan and the power of the Holy Spirit in you.

    Jesus was preparing His disciples for His departure, having promised the Holy Spirit to minister in His stead; He now describes how His disciples can relate to Him, even though He is no longer physically present.

    I Am the True Vine John 15:1-11 1. A lot of flowers are in bloom right now. Florists make a fiving marketing them.

     | 15,259 views

    The parable of the Vine and the branches gives us the assurance that however weak and frail we are, God the Trinity can and will produce beautiful fruit in our lives. It is not a question of will power or any kind of self effort. All that is needed is con

    Living In The Vine

    Contributed by Austin W. Duncan on Jun 14, 2022
    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,754 views

    Jesus is the Vine, we are the branches. The Father the Gardener, the vinedresser. Everything God does is to enhance our abiding and fruitfulness. With each trimming, we become more like Christ, for God’s glory and for the blessing of others. For the blessing of the world around us.

    Christ often used illustrations for us when explaining spiritual truths. “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink.” “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." Today, in John 15:1-11 we’re looking at the grapevine as ...read more

    Praise him, all you mountains and hills. Praise him, all you fruit trees and cedar trees. Praise him, all you wild animals and cattle. Praise him, you small creatures and flying birds. Praise him, you kings of the earth and all nations.

    Luke 19:37-40 I Will Praise Him! April 10, 2022 Many years ago my wife and I took my parents to Israel and was traveling from the little village of Bethany, on the eastern slope of the Mount of Olives, down across the Kidron valley, and on up into the temple area of Jerusalem.

     | 15,969 views

    Nature teaches us that if you are going to be fruitful, you have to: 1. Have your roots in good soil. 2. Have a healthy trunk and branches. 3. Have fertilization.

    A wealthy businessman, who was well known for being ruthless and unethical, told Mark Twain that before he died, he wanted to make a pilgrimage to the Holy Land.

    Since Jesus is the Vine and we are the branches, we are to believe in him and abide in Jesus therefore producing fruit, which is the character of Christ (love, joy, etc.) and helping others know Christ.

    During Lent we have been looking at what Jesus said about himself not what other people think, but what he actually said according to an eye witness his disciple John. Specifically, these are Jesus’ seven “I am” statements. Through each statement Jesus revealed a little more about who he really ...read more

    One of the greatest privileges of the believer is access to divine connection. Just as a branch cannot survive without being attached to the vine, so also no man can thrive without a connection to God.

     | 566 views

    In 'Growing in Spirituality', we explore John 15:1-5 where Jesus outlines the process of spiritual growth. This involves understanding God as the gardener, Jesus as the true vine, and ourselves as the branches.

    Salvation through faith in Christ has two dimensions: the assurance of eternal life in heaven and the call to live for God on earth. While we often hear that we should live for God, we are rarely taught how to do it. In John 15:1-11, Jesus provides a clear explanation of the process of spiritual ...read more
