Abide in The Vine
from Ambassador Presbyterian Hosted by Don Knox
Scripture: John 15:1-12 Date: June 21, 2026 In this sermon, John 15 is discussed through Jesus’ statement that he is the true vine, with connections made to Israel, the temple, the feasts, Moses, and the Old Testament image of the vine. The pastor explains that abiding in Christ means living in ongoing dependence on him through his word, prayer, obedience, and personal relationship, rather than relying on self-effort.The sermon also covers pruning, describing it as the Father’s work in shaping fruitful branches through discipline and trials. It then describes fruit as the evidence of life in Christ, including character change, love, obedience, and witness, and closes by using the image of Eustace’s transformation in Narnia to illustrate Christ’s renewing work.
