“Apart from me you can do nothing” is easily in Jesus’ top 10 most controversial statements. In this case He is talking about the fruit (what we produce) from the branches (us) grafted into the vine (Jesus). Continuing our study of John 15:1-11, this lesson explains what this statement means and gives practical applications for what types of “fruit” you can be producing in your Christian walk.

My goal is that their hearts, having been knit together in love, may be encouraged, and that they may have all the riches that assurance brings in their understanding of the knowledge of the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. - Colossians 2:2-3

In gardening pruning is the process of thinning out the plant so that it can produce more fruit. This means removing branches or growths, and sometimes a lot. In a spiritual sense this is not as pleasant as it sounds. You are the branch that is going to get pruned. Prepare for pain ahead! This lessons continues our study of John 15:1-11 with practical applications on the spiritual process of pruning.

What makes a carpenter over a hobbyist? What makes an athlete over a weekend warrior? What makes an expert over a fraud? Buying the right clothes, practicing the proper language, and participating in certain activities can give us the illusion that we are more qualified and producing more than we actually are. So what makes a Christian over just acting like a Christian? John 15:1-11 clearly states that as followers of Christ there is only one source we can plug into to bear fruit: God. This lesson provides practical applications for how you can be certain you are grafted in God’s vine and how to stay grafted in the vine.

John 15:1-11 is a popular section of scripture about Jesus telling his disciples to “Abide in Me.” It is the last lesson He gives his disciples before going to the cross. “Abide” is the verb of interest in this lesson. If we don’t understand what this word means, it will be difficult to follow Jesus’ instructions.

A common phrase you might hear in Christian circles is “God’s timing is not our timing.” It’s not a direct quote from scripture, but there might be reason to consider it. In this special theatrical presentation, we meet the lame man from Acts 3 & 4. Every day he sits at the Beautiful Gate begging for coins until he is healed by Peter and John. What we often miss is that this man is nearly 40 years old! This means he likely saw Jesus come to the Temple during His ministry. Have you ever thought about why Jesus never healed him himself?

EDIT: Michael switched between describing his character as being lame and having leprosy. The man from Acts 3 & 4 did not have leprosy as far as we know. Michael just got a little mixed up in his script :) Please enjoy the presentation regardless.

Thank you to God’s Gathering Place in Conover, WI, for letting us film.

The differences found in the four Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) are often used to discredit the life of Jesus and as a reason to not trust scripture. This perspective often comes from a fundamental understanding of what these books are. As the books talk about the life of Jesus we are tempted to think of them as biographies. But compare any of the books to a modern biography and you will find the Gospels to be lacking quite a bit to fit the biography category. Are the differences between the Gospels and the events they emphasize intentional? Prophecies from the Old Testament shed light on this problem and provide a better framework to read the four Gospels as they were intended.
