The Vine and the Branches

Dennis McCallum
John 15:1-13

The purpose of telling the disciples of the vine and the branches is to encourage them to abide in Him so that they will draw deeply upon His love and be fruitful in sharing that love with others. .

The Fruitful Life

Scott Risley
John 15:1-15

John describes three types of vines: those not in Christ, those in Christ but without fruit and those in Christ and bearing fruit.  Only those in Christ can bear fruit if they abide/remain in Him.

Faithfulness or Fruitfulness?

Brian Adams
John 15:1-15

In evangelism, is the point to be faithful or fruitful?  Many Christians are pained by a lack of fruit-bearing.  We will explore the tension of waiting on God, with working hard.

I Am the Vine

Conrad Hilario
John 15:1-15

In order for Christians to bear fruit, we must be connected to the Vine, Jesus.  We remain in Jesus when we consistently and creatively put thought into our time with Him, when we acknowledge His presence and rely on Him to bear fruit through us.
