Jesus, the Great "I Am"
This Sunday I will continue in a sermon series on selected "I am"
statements that Jesus made during His ministry. This week's "I am"
statement is found in
John 15: 5, "
I am the vine; you are the branches. The one who remains in Me and I in him produces much fruit, because you can do nothing without Me." Let me encourage you to use
this evangelistic sermon series to invite a friend to worship who needs
Christ.
For His Glory!

John 15:1-8, Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)
1 “I am the true vine, and My Father is the vineyard keeper.
2 Every branch in Me that does not produce fruit He removes, and He prunes every branch that produces fruit so that it will produce more fruit.
3 You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you.
4 Remain in Me, and I in you. Just as a branch is unable to produce fruit by itself unless it remains on the vine, so neither can you unless you remain in Me.
5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. The one who remains in Me and I in him produces much fruit, because you can do nothing without Me.
6 If anyone does not remain in Me, he is thrown aside like a branch and he withers. They gather them, throw them into the fire, and they are burned.
7 If you remain in Me and My words remain in you, ask whatever you want and it will be done for you.
8 My Father is glorified by this: that you produce much fruit and prove to be[a] My disciples.
