Listen To This Sermon Now

Scripture: Psalm 22 :25-31and  John 15:1-8

“I am   the true vine,   and my Father is the gardener. ² He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit,   while every branch that does bear fruit   he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. ³ You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. ⁴ Remain in me, as I also remain in you.  No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.

⁵ “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit;   apart from me you can do nothing. ⁶ If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. ⁷ If you remain in me   and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. ⁸ This is to my Father’s glory,  that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.
