A Productive Relationship Part 2
Series: The Jesus We Need to Know
Preacher: Kevin Smith, Senior Pastor
Sunday Morning
Date: 12th October 2025
Passage: John 15:1-8
-------------------
This sermon explores Jesus' teaching from John 15:1-8 about the vine and branches, emphasizing that spiritual growth comes through dependence on Christ rather than self-improvement or worldly methods. The pastor explains that abiding in Christ means maintaining constant dependence on Him for vision, wisdom, and power to live as productive disciples. Using the analogy of a car battery and tea steeping, he illustrates how Christians must remain connected to Jesus to bear spiritual fruit. The message challenges believers to move beyond 'dipping' in and out of spiritual practices to truly 'steeping' in Christ through consistent dependence, recognizing that apart from Him we can do nothing.
