Jeremiah

• 18:00John 15

  And Jesus promises this in John chapter 15 when he says, if the world hates you, understand that it hated me before it hated you. But if you were of the world, then the world would love you. The world would take you as one of its own. However, because you are…

The Whole Story

• 5:56John 15

  We grow in, as Jesus says in John 15, we grow in abiding in him. We grow in a relationship with Christ. We grow in a relationship with each other. And this morning, I want us to see the challenge of us to grow and to live and to thrive. With that is our…

1 Corinthians

• 17:26John 15

  You don't want to be aware for that. And so this church is asking, should we be aware fully or not? What does God want from us? And what Paul uses here, this word is conscientiousness. It's not right from wrong, but being aware. It's very much what Jesus said in John 15. That if I remain in you, abide in you, and you abide in me, you will bear much fruit.

The Epistles of John

• 12:40John 15

  This command that John reminds us of is the same command that Jesus gives us at the very twilight of his earthly life. Jesus in John 15 says, this is my command. Love one another as I have loved you. He says, there is no greater love than this. That a man or a woman would lay down their life for their friends.

• 2:45John 15

  …John the Baptist preparing the way. But today is a Resurrection Sunday. So today we will look at how it all finished. So if you have your Bibles, join me in the Gospel of Mark. New Testament, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, chapter 15, and I will read beginning in verse 33. If you joined us last week, you remember that God sent a squirrely and a burly man named John the Baptist.

The JESUS Story

• 1:35John 15

  …glory of Christ. I'm going to be in that group. I'm not going to let the rocks cry out for me. I'm not letting the trees clap for me. There you go. We can magnify the Lord with creation. So join me, meet me actually in John chapter 15 today. We've been walking through the book of John, the gospel of John. It's in the New Testament, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Really, John is like the fourth wheel of the gospels because Matthew, Mark, and Luke…

• 2:12John 15

  So we're walking through John and now we are in John 15, beginning in verse 1 today. And I'm reading as I always do from the CSB translation. Hear the word of the Lord. Jesus says, I am the true vine. And my father is the gardener. Every branch in me that does not produce fruit, he, that's God, removes. And he prunes every branch that produces fruit so that it will produce more fruit.

The JESUS Story

• 30:06John 15

  Jesus says in John 15, beginning in verse 1, he says, I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. Now, vineyard imagery was prevalent in the ancient world. Clearly, in the Old Testament, Israel is often described as the vineyard. We have, in the second temple, as you go into the temple, right above the temple is a large vine.

Miracle in the Manger

• 18:48John 15

  And not only does he dwell with you, this is how Jesus can say, If anyone knows me that I abide, and he abides in me in John 15, then I will abide in you. Churches should give us great joy to know that God just doesn't leave us on our own. Not only did Jesus become flesh, God became flesh and united the two, but he did what? He dwelt among us.…

Facts

• 6:13John 15:13

  But relationships, relationships facts. I want to use one scripture today. And I know this is kind of crazy, but I want to use one scripture, but we're going to travel all over the Bible. So that scripture is found in the book of John, chapter 15, verse 13. And it says, "No one has greater love than this to lay down his life for his friends." You know, today in here, God calls us, Jesus calls us friend.

Numbers

• 45:05John 15

  I threatened our youth that they went to sleep. That was going to get Aaron's staff. The truth is that we're all dead sticks. You want to know where you are spiritually without Jesus Christ? This is a pretty good representative. Dead, lifeless, and only fit for the fire. But what does the word of God say? Listen to John 15. If anyone does not remain in me, he has thrown aside like a branch.

• 32:40John 15

  "God was working in my heart and tearing down those bricks" "brick by brick by brick" "until I realized, Lord, I have no other way" "but to know you" "are you modeling disciple making for others?" "You see, Jesus gives us a beautiful picture of what that looks like" "in John 15" "Jesus compares the kingdom of heaven in our lives to a vine and a branch" "from the vine and my father is the gardener"

• 36:01John 15

  …others" "evangelism is simply one beggar" "as a pastor said" "one beggar" "telling another beggar where to find bread" "it's one beggar saying" "look I found bread here" "it's one" "using the image of Christ in John 15" "it's one dead tree" "telling another dead tree" "look there's living water" "right here" "will be the root that you need"

• 19:16John 15

  I have finished And Lord I have finished Because you saw me We are in the presence Of God To be Faithful And Jesus has now Given us a paradigm shift In faithfulness I don't want you to think That we should be legalistic That you go home today And at the end of every night You say Well have I been obedient Or not Jesus flips the script For us Jesus says In John 15 He says I am the vine You are the branches The one who abides in me

Exodus

• 18:52John 15

  Jesus reminds us that opposition is expected. Jesus tells us in John 15 that if the world has hated him, they will hate us. And we struggle with that because naturally we want people to like us. I'm not naturally a people person, but even for people like me, I still want people to like me. I don't want to cause fights just to have people hate me. That's not my goal in life. But Jesus says, if you follow him, the world will hate you.

Proverbs

• 40:01John 15

  And every branch that bears fruit, he prunes that it may bear more fruit. So if we are living for Christ and we say, God, prune me in a way that I may honor you more, that I may bear more fruit. In John 15, Jesus continues. He says, abide in me and I in you, as the branch cannot bear fruit of itself. Now you say, well, this is metaphorical language, Pastor. What does this mean to me? You're the branch. I'm the branch.

• 12:43John 15

  …we must, we must, it's imperative that we give the greatest gift, the gift of eternal life away. We can't save them, but we have been commanded to tell them. Jesus also used a similar figure of speech when he said in John chapter 15, probably one of my favorite passages in the word of God is John chapter 15, the vineyard passage. You remember I preached it several months ago. Then notice what he says in verse 5, 6, and verse 8 as well. I'm the…

  but try to explain it away, you might lose your soul. Now all Christians agree in this room. I believe all Christians in this room believe that salvation begins with God first and not with man. John chapter 15 verse 16 says, you have not chosen me, but I have chosen you. In the Bible, election is always unto something. It's always unto, we are elected unto something, unto salvation. It's always, it's a privilege that carries a great…

  Thank you so much for leading us in biblical worship today. I tell you, man, it's always a blessing to come and worship in spirit and truth. Amen. If you brought your Bible, and I hope you did, turn with me to John chapter 15. John 10.10 says, The thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy.

  Why? They're in debt to buy things they can't afford, to impress people they don't even like. Right? Prosperity. We've got opportunities to do that. I love what J.B. Phillips, his translation of verse 13, he says it this way. I am ready for anything through the strength of the one who lives within me. Next week we begin a brand new series out of John 15. We're going to unpack 17 verses. We're not going to leave that text.

• 26:49John 15

  We're not going to leave that text. John 15, I think, is some of the greatest writing. John 15 verse 5, I think, is the launch verse of the entire text. And it says, I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in me and I in him, he bears much fruit. For apart from me, you can do nothing. A few months ago, I was invited to speak midweek at a missions conference. And I went to this church to speak at their missions conference.

  Do you have a goal in your own personal life to be determined to stay in the game even when it gets tough? Even when it doesn't go the way you think it ought to go? Even when you're tired and weary? John chapter 15, one of my favorite verses is chapter 15, verse 5. Jesus said it best, I am the true vine, I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in me and I in him,

• 25:38John 15:4

  And Christians will pray for believers to have a mature Christian service, meaning we will surrender our lives to the Lord Jesus Christ and we will surrender to his calling and the work that he's called us to. It's John chapter 15, verse 4. Coming up in a few months, in a few weeks, we're going to unpack these 17 verses and a run up to Easter. But I want you to look at verse 4.

  So he came down at once, immediately, quickly, he darted, he jumped out of that tree and welcomed him gladly. He invested time and he invested fellowship and saved sinners. And so another life stewardship in the lessons, what we can learn from Jesus is as we grow people into his standard of character. John, chapter 15, verses 5. I love this passage about as much as I love anything and all of God's word.
