Title: I Am the True Vine 
Text: John 15:1-8
Speaker: Pastor Kevin Deyette

Notes: 

Vineyard Analogy:

• Jesus is the vine
• God the Father is the gardener
• We are the branches
• The branches purpose is to depend on the vine and bear fruit. 

- The Gardeners work of pruning and removing ensures the branches are depending fully on the vine. 

- Branches must be connected to the vine to produce fruit. 

Benefits of abiding on the vine: 

1. Answered Prayer
2. God is Glorified
3. We bear much fruit

Message Summary: The secret to a fruitful, God-honoring life is simply to abide in Jesus. 

- It's not "Me for Christ", It's "Christ in me".
