Summary

What if there is more to life with God than we expect? This Sunday, Pastor Ashley Anderson continued our “Come and See” sermon series with a teaching from John 15 on Jesus’ statement: “I am the true vine.” Jesus expects His disciples to walk in the same power and do the same works that He did. We bear fruit like Jesus did by abiding in His love; and we remain in Jesus' love by obeying His commands to love each other as He has loved us, and to lay down our lives for our friends.

0:00.0	Well, Gide Church. Hope you're doing well. Pastor John Tyson here. Wanted to let you know this summer,
0:07.8	we are going to be looking at the life of Jesus and why, as it says in John's gospel, we should
0:14.3	believe in him because of the signs he did and how in believing we can have life in his name.
0:19.5	We're going to be looking at Jesus' claims about himself, the I Am statements,
0:24.0	and in the miracles of Jesus, why we can trust him to have power over sin, Satan, death, and hell.
0:30.0	I hope this series stirs your faith and passion to follow Jesus with all of your heart
0:35.2	and in so doing experience the life that he truly offers.
0:38.7	Let's get back to the podcast.
0:45.9	Our teaching text is from John 15 versus 1 through 17.
0:51.9	I am the true vine and my father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that
0:57.6	bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit, he prunes so that it will be even more
1:02.6	fruitful. You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. Remain in me as I also remain in
1:09.8	you. No branch can bear fruit by itself. It must remain in the vine. Neither can you. Remain in me as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself. It must remain in the vine.
1:13.6	Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. I am the vine. You are the branches. If you remain in me and I and you will bear much fruit. Apart from me, you can do nothing.
1:24.6	If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers.
1:29.9	Such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire, and burned.
1:33.5	If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish and it will be done for you.
1:38.4	This is to my father's glory that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.
1:45.7	As the father has loved me,
1:51.4	so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love,
1:58.0	just as I have kept my father's commands and remain in his love. I have told you this, so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.
2:01.3	My command is this.
