Summary

In Jesus' final "I Am" statement in John 15:1-5, He declares He is the true vine, His Father is the vinedresser, and we are the branches. As we examine all the elements of this symbol, we learn what it means historically, prophetically, and presently, as well as the importance of staying connected to the vine so that we may bear good fruit.

Wednesday night we go through the Bible, verse by verse, chapter by chapter, book by book.

0:03.8

We draw our text from our upcoming Wednesdays here on these Sunday mornings.

0:08.5

So it's really Sunday on Wednesdays, verse by verse, chapter by chapter, book by book, right through the Bible.

0:14.0

And we are in the gospel of John.

0:16.5

Would you turn with me to John chapter 15 this morning for our text?

0:21.7

If you want to read ahead for Wednesday night, you can look over John chapter 12, which we'll be covering Wednesday.

0:55.2

connecting himself to the I am of the Old Testament. We've been going over this for the past several

1:00.0

weeks. In Exodus 13, remember when God was speaking to Moses on the Mount of Sinai there with the

1:17.9

And he said, thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I am, hath sent me unto you.

1:24.5

And so this I am, which is where we get our, you know, Y, H.W-H-H, the Tetragrammaton of the Old Testament, the name of God,
