2. PRUNING  2 kinds of Pruning:  1. Cutting out/off Pruned are useless except to be used as fuel (Ezek. 15:2-8)  Pruned are useless except to be used as fuel (Ezek. 15:2-8)  Even more useless after being burned  2. Cutting back  Promotes growth  Even more fruitful

3. HARVESTING  Isaiah 1:8  During the harvesting season, the owner of the vineyard might live in a booth to stay close to his valuable crop.  The harvest of the grapes took place in August or September.

3. HARVESTING  Average vineyard produced is unknown  A vineyard was considered so important that a man who had planted one was exempt from military service (Deut. 20:6).

3. HARVESTING  Some of the harvested grapes were eaten fresh (Jer. 31:29)  And others dried into raisins (1 Sam. 25:18).  Most were squeezed for their juice to make wine.

CONCLUSIONCONCLUSION  Christ is the Vine  Apart from the vine our efforts are unfruitful  Nourishment comes from the vine

CONCLUSIONCONCLUSION  God as the gardener who cares for the braches to make them fruitful  Daily he sends sunshine and rain to make the crop grow  Constantly he nurtured and prepared it to blossom.

CONCLUSIONCONCLUSION  Branches are the disciples  The fruitful branches are true disciples  Living produce much fruit  Unproductive disciples are as good as dead.  Cut off and useless except fuel for the fire.
