Rooting for Success
Welcome to the recording from this morning’s service. We were very blessed to have guest speaker Charles Gardner with us speaking on the importance of us abiding in the vine, and of our relationship as wild branches to the natural branches of Israel.
Before the recording is a worship video from Maranatha Music on the Messianic Praise album, Planted by the Waters, with lyrics from Jeremiah 17:7-8.
Here is today’s message:
John 15: “I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. 2 Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. 3 You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. 4 Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.
Romans 11:17 And if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and with them became a partaker of the root and fatness of the olive tree, 18 do not boast against the branches. But if you do boast, remember that you do not support the root, but the root supports you.
19 You will say then, “Branches were broken off that I might be grafted in.” 20 Well said. Because of unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by faith. Do not be haughty, but fear. 21 For if God did not spare the natural branches, He may not spare you either.
