Of all the plants mentioned in the entire Word of God from Genesis to Revelation,

grapes are mentioned the most often.

Vineyards are mentioned the most often.

Did you know that you would find them from Genesis chapter 9

all the way to Revelation chapter 14 again and again and again and again.

I have had as much fun studying for this lesson, doing the research that it's taken,

getting ready for you in this particular theme, in this particular lesson's climate,

as I have ever had in all of these years.

I cannot wait to share this with you.

So here's what I want to do.

I want to give you a little bit of background about what brought me to the particular

theme we have going is the vineyard.

We're going to study the vineyard in scripture.

And here's a little bit of backstory to it.

I have just come off of what I can just tell you hands down was the trip of my life.

And I want to tell you why.

I am a mom.

I have two adult daughters that are in their 30s.

They are not only my kids, they are my dearest friends. That's one of the wonderful

things that happens when your kids are grown up is that there comes a new kind of relationship

if you and if I can let it happen and let it transition and don't continue to treat them like

they're little bitty kids.
