Summary

Is living from a place of rest truly possible? How do we faithfully walk through seasons of pruning and discipline? What does it take to bear healthy fruit? The vibrant imagery used throughout Jesus’s teaching in John 15:1-5 powerfully depicts how, as Christ followers, our lives are meant to matter. Join Kelly as she walks through the 7th I AM statement of Jesus, “I Am the True Vine.” Your life was meant to matter. You’re called to bear much fruit—fruit that will impact generations. “The Master Gardener is perfect in His work. He is perfect in His pruning. He never makes a mistake; There is nothing that He is going to go after in your life that will not result in even more fruit.” Scripture References John 15:1-5, 16 1 John 2:19 Hebrews 12:11 John 15:7 Helpful Notes 1. We Bear Fruit when we’re attached to the True Vine Vine + Branch = Fruit 2. We bear more fruit when we’re surrendered to the Vinedresser Vine + Branch + Pruning = More Fruit 3. We bear much fruit when we abide in Christ Vine + Branch + Pruning + Abiding = Much Fruit We remain in Christ when we remain in Christ’s teaching (2 Jn 9); love one another (1 Jn 2:10); keep ourselves from willful sin (1 Jn 3:9); take care of the poor (1 Jn 3:17), confess that Jesus is the Son of God and Savior (1 Jn 4:14-15); believe God is love (1 Jn 4:16); obey God’s commands (Jn 4:16).

0:34.1	Access More.
0:53.3	Yeah. Access more. Well, hello and welcome back to the Cultivate Podcast. I am so glad that you are here with me today.
0:58.4	This is another one of those episodes that kind of fits into that top 10 Spotify list.
1:06.2	It's an imaginary Spotify list because I don't even think I've mentioned this yet, but I don't even have Spotify. But if I were to tell you that this was part of a mixtape, then that probably
1:17.2	would really not be in any way relevant. But basically, this collection of podcasts is really just
1:24.2	me wanting to introduce myself to you and to bring 10 episodes or so that are
1:31.9	my favorite Bible passages, both in the Old Testament and New Testament. And like I've said before,
1:37.5	not always favorite in that they've been the happiest moments for me, but in the sense that
1:43.5	they have been really meaningful
1:45.5	passages in scripture that have really meant a lot to me at different bends in my own life.
1:52.1	So that is where we are going to be again today. We're going to be looking at John chapter 15,
1:57.3	specifically at verses 1 through 5. And today on the Cultivate podcast, we're actually going to be
2:03.9	talking about cultivating. Jesus here is going to give us a parable about a vine, about branches,
2:12.8	and about God the Father as the vine dresser. I'm really excited about this episode because we are going to see
2:20.9	what Jesus has to say about a life of meaning. This has always been a big question for me. I have
2:29.2	always been ever since I was a young girl wanting to know how I could have a meaningful life, how I could do
2:38.3	what matters, how I could do things that would be lasting things, that would be eternal.
