4. John 15:1-6

5. John 15:1-6
Cutting away of death and excess
Our growth and fruit is His interest, not our comfort
New growth springs from the wounds
We want to be left alone, His job as the Gardner is to prune and remove
Our job is to remain connected to the Vine

6. John 15:1-6
Remain- menó
not to depart, not to leave, to continue to be present, be still in (His) possession; to stay (in a given place, state, relation or expectancy) to abide, continue, dwell
Offshoots eventually wither

7. How do we remain? | John 15:5-17
Remaining in the Vine
Christ abiding in us is dependent on our abiding in Him
Remaining in His Word
Remaining in His love
Remaining in His joy
Remaining in His business
Remaining in His appointment
Remaining fruit
