The foundation of our faith is that Jesus is the Son Of God. How can we say this with full certainty? Pastor Ray Cazis examines this foundation and looks at who testifies to the deity of Jesus. It all starts with the verse John 15:1, I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.

Pastor Ray Cazis continues the series "Transformed" with a message titled "The Generous Life".

Some key points are:

An important mark of your Christian maturity is how much you love others.

Generous people give more than just money.

We will be starting with our text which is John 15:12-15:

12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.

13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.

15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.

John 15:4-7 (KJV)

4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.

5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.

7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

Today Pastor Cazis continues the series "Transformed" with the message "Growing by Abiding in Christ". Often new Christians are given the impression that you grow as a Christian by following a long list of rules. Pastor takes a look at how we should grow starting in John 15:4-7.

Ephesians 5:15-17 (KJV)

15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,

16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.

When one comes to Jesus there are changes. These changes will come from the inside through growth. Today Pastor Cazis looks at "Life Change". We start by looking at how the fall of humanity corrupted humanity and our desires. Next we will see how Jesus Christ makes spiritual change possible.

Our text is John 15:1-11

1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.

2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.

3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.

4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.

5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.

7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.

9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.

10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love.

11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.
