JESUS IS… The True Vine — John 15 | Sunday Sermon with Ben Molyneux

Sep 27, 2026 16

Jesus’ declaration “I am the true vine” in John 15 fulfils centuries of Old Testament imagery, where Israel failed as God’s vineyard. Jesus is the vine that produces the fruit God requires, succeeding where Israel repeatedly failed despite God’s faithful care.

The passage holds both warning and comfort: God removes fruitless branches, those not genuinely connected to Christ, while pruning fruitful branches to produce more fruit.

The central call is to abide in Christ, maintaining constant, close communion with him through his word, obedience, and dependence. This connection isn’t passive belonging but active believing, producing visible fruit of righteousness, love, and joy.

The Father, as the vinedresser, works through life’s difficulties and his word to cultivate growth in genuine believers.

JESUS IS… who he says he is. A series in the “I AM” statements in John’s Gospel.

When Trusting God Is Hard
Somewhere deep inside, you want to believe, but something from your past or current situation makes trusting God hard. You prayed for healing that didn’t come. You lost a job, a home, a loved one. You look at wars, floods, famine and wonder how any of this makes sense in a “God is good” world.
