I Am, Therefore We Are: "I Am the Vine."

22nd Sunday after Pentecost. Dan is preaching. The first Consecration Sunday speaker.

SCRIPTURE: John 15:1-12

This “I am” statement could not be any clearer.

Jesus tells us that he is vine, and we are the branches. There is a direct connection between us and Jesus.

We draw all of our life from him and it should result in good fruit that will last. Even a branch that is connected to the vine that does not bear fruit will be thrown into the fire.

You have everything you need to bear fruit because you are connected to the vine.

What kind of fruit are you bearing?

We will also touch on James 2:14-18 where it says, “Faith without works is dead.”
