“I am the true vine, and my Father is the vineyard keeper. He removes any of my branches that don’t produce fruit, and he trims any branch that produces fruit so that it will produce even more fruit. You are already trimmed because of the word I have spoken to you. Remain in me, and I will remain in you. A branch can’t produce fruit by itself, but must remain in the vine. Likewise, you can’t produce fruit unless you remain in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, then you will produce much fruit. Without me, you can’t do anything. If you don’t remain in me, you will be like a branch that is thrown out and dries up. Those branches are gathered up, thrown into a fire, and burned. If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask for whatever you want and it will be done for you. My Father is glorified when you produce much fruit and in this way prove that you are my disciples. (John 15:1-8, CEB)
You can not have faith and produce fruit unless you are connected.
We are all connected. Here Jesus says he is the vine and we are the branches off the vine. We need the connection to the vine and the vine keeper to produce fruit.
We aren’t able to do it without him.
We are all interconnected and need each other to be the vineyard of God.
Welcome all and know that they are as valuable as you are.
Loving People. Loving God.
