Jesus-The True Vine

The Gateway Fellowship Podcast

Mar 17 2024 • 31 mins

Are you longing for real, lasting change in your life? In this powerful sermon based on John 15, we explore how true transformation happens through a living connection with Jesus.


Many of us try to change through self-discipline and effort, only to keep falling back into old patterns. But Jesus reveals a better way - the way of the vine and the branches. When we abide in Him continuously, change becomes inevitable and even beneficial.


But fair warning: growth isn't always comfortable! Like a gardener pruning a grapevine, God lovingly removes things in our lives that hinder our fruitfulness. It may be painful in the moment, but His goal is always a more abundant harvest.


Imagine how your life, relationships, and family could be transformed as you bear the fruit of the Spirit - love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. That's the kind of change Jesus offers when we get personal with Him and let His life flow through us.


Whether you're exploring faith for the first time or a long-time Christian, this message will challenge and encourage you to experience change from the inside out. It's not about trying harder, but abiding more deeply. Are you ready?


In this episode, we discuss:

  • The limits of self-help

  • Proximity vs. personal connection with Jesus

  • The pain and purpose of pruning

  • The necessity of continuous abiding

  • The inevitability of fruitfulness

  • The benefits of Spirit-led living
