A Productive Relationship, Part 3
Series: The Jesus We Need to Know
Preacher: Kevin Smith, Senior Pastor
Sunday Morning
Date: 19th October 2025
Passage: John 15:1-8
-------------------
This sermon explores Jesus' teaching about the vine and branches from John 15:1-8, emphasizing the vital relationship between believers and Christ. The pastor uses the metaphor of a community garden to illustrate how spiritual fruit doesn't happen by accident but requires intentional care and cooperation with God's work. The message addresses two types of branches - those that bear fruit and those that don't - explaining that unproductive branches represent false professors rather than true believers who lose salvation. The sermon emphasizes that God is determined to produce fruit in every true believer's life for His glory, but this requires our active cooperation through abiding in Christ and allowing His word to dwell in us richly.
