CHRISTIAN-ishWhere ChristiansGet It Wrong

Speaker: Cieara Wengerd

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. … ⁸This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.”John 15:5, 8 NIV “You will know them by their fruits...”Matthew 7:16 NKJV

They won’t just know you by what you say, but by how you live.

²²“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, ²³gentleness and self-control.”Galatians 5:22-23 ESV

Fruit of the Spirit	Fruit of the Flesh
Loving Joyful Peaceful Patient Kind Good Faithful Gentle Self-Controlled	Selfish Frustrated Anxious Impatient Uncaring Bad Disloyal Harsh Indulgent

Are you more characterized by the fruits of the Spirit or by fruits of the flesh?

Jesus didn’t call us to dress up the flesh, but to crucify it.

“Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.”Galatians 5:24 NIV “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.”John 15:5 NIV

Jesus is the Vine. You are the branch.

μένω
meno: remain, abide, dwell, live in

“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.”John 15:4 NIV

Don’t focus on production; focus on connection.
Be the branch!
