00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.459
 I'm going to read John chapter 15 verses 1 through 8.

00:00:04.459 --> 00:00:15.140
 You remember that this is part of a whole section going from chapter 13 through to the end of chapter 17,

00:00:15.140 --> 00:00:23.740
 which covers about 24 hours as Jesus meets and speaks with the disciples specifically

00:00:23.740 --> 00:00:28.019
 and prepares them for him going back to the Father

00:00:28.019 --> 00:00:34.640
 and how they should live as they wait for the Lord's return.

00:00:35.640 --> 00:00:41.439
 And so we are also in that time frame of where we're waiting for the Lord to return.

00:00:41.439 --> 00:00:46.960
 And so these words instruct us today as to how we should live.

00:00:48.239 --> 00:00:52.780
 So let's read verse 1.

00:00:52.780 --> 00:00:59.179
 I am the true vine and my Father is the gardener.

00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:03.500
 He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit,

00:01:04.099 --> 00:01:10.900
 while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful.

00:01:12.420 --> 00:01:17.299
 You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you.

00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:22.439
 Remain in me as I also remain in you.

00:01:22.780 --> 00:01:26.379
 No branch can bear fruit by itself.

00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:29.560
 It must remain in the vine.

00:01:30.460 --> 00:01:35.900
 Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.

00:01:37.099 --> 00:01:38.519
 I am the vine.

00:01:39.340 --> 00:01:40.799
 You are the branches.

00:01:41.719 --> 00:01:44.719
 If you remain in me and I in you,

00:01:45.140 --> 00:01:47.140
 you will bear much fruit.

00:01:48.340 --> 00:01:51.240
 Apart from me, you can do nothing.

00:01:51.239 --> 00:01:54.359
 If you do not remain in me,

00:01:54.359 --> 00:01:58.280
 you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers.

00:01:59.079 --> 00:02:01.119
 Such branches are picked up,

00:02:01.919 --> 00:02:03.219
 thrown into the fire,

00:02:03.659 --> 00:02:04.599
 and burned.

00:02:05.799 --> 00:02:09.740
 If you remain in me and my words remain in you,

00:02:10.419 --> 00:02:12.599
 ask whatever you wish,

00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:15.459
 and it will be done for you.

00:02:15.460 --> 00:02:18.800
 This is to my Father's glory,

00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:21.920
 that you bear much fruit,

00:02:22.920 --> 00:02:26.500
 showing yourselves to be my disciples.

00:02:26.500 --> 00:02:29.180
 Well, let's pray.

00:02:29.180 --> 00:02:29.199
 Let's pray.

00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:37.340
 Lord God, we are grateful and thankful for your word.

00:02:38.139 --> 00:02:39.680
 It is the truth,

00:02:40.060 --> 00:02:42.400
 and we trust it.

00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:46.319
 And we pray that by the power of your Holy Spirit,

00:02:47.219 --> 00:02:53.539
 your word would do a pruning work in our life right now,

00:02:53.539 --> 00:02:56.579
 and that through this morning,

00:02:57.019 --> 00:03:00.780
 we will become more fruitful.

00:03:01.780 --> 00:03:04.459
 May this be for our good

00:03:04.459 --> 00:03:07.060
 and for your glory.

00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:08.459
 Amen.

00:03:08.460 --> 00:03:08.640
 Amen.

00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:15.840
 Well, one of my summer chores as a kid

00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:18.580
 was to pick the fruit in our garden.

00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:20.860
 Not a pleasant job,

00:03:21.460 --> 00:03:23.840
 if you're wanting to be outside playing football

00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:25.060
 and doing other things.

00:03:25.960 --> 00:03:28.460
 But nonetheless, it was what I had to do.

00:03:28.600 --> 00:03:30.760
 We had red and green gooseberries,

00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:33.420
 red currants and black currants,

00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:35.300
 raspberries and strawberries,

00:03:35.300 --> 00:03:38.960
 so there was no end to the work that had to be done.

00:03:39.700 --> 00:03:40.780
 Every year,

00:03:41.180 --> 00:03:44.500
 they would just produce buckets of fruit.

00:03:45.460 --> 00:03:46.100
 Now, of course,

00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:48.600
 that's just not a surprise, is it?

00:03:49.020 --> 00:03:52.260
 Because that's what fruit trees do.

00:03:53.380 --> 00:03:56.720
 Fruit trees produce fruit.

00:03:56.719 --> 00:04:01.800
 Well, if you are a disciple of Jesus,

00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:09.800
 you also produce delicious, sweet fruit.

00:04:10.860 --> 00:04:12.319
 Look at verse 8.

00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:16.019
 This is a key verse in our text.

00:04:16.019 --> 00:04:19.579
 This is to my Father's glory

00:04:19.579 --> 00:04:23.199
 that you bear much fruit,

00:04:24.199 --> 00:04:27.859
 showing yourselves to be my disciples.

00:04:29.139 --> 00:04:31.759
 Of course, this shouldn't be a surprise to us

00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:36.079
 because fruitfulness is the mark of a disciple.

00:04:37.079 --> 00:04:39.799
 It's the sign or the evidence

00:04:39.799 --> 00:04:41.979
 of following Jesus.

00:04:41.980 --> 00:04:45.040
 But it also means

00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:48.360
 that if we claim to be a disciple,

00:04:49.300 --> 00:04:51.540
 but have no fruit,

00:04:51.920 --> 00:04:53.180
 bear no fruit,

00:04:53.700 --> 00:04:57.480
 then we are not a disciple.

00:04:58.759 --> 00:05:03.360
 You see, there is only one kind of disciple,

00:05:04.259 --> 00:05:07.640
 and that's a fruitful disciple.

00:05:08.640 --> 00:05:10.300
 Did you see that in verse 8?

00:05:10.300 --> 00:05:12.939
 This is to my Father's glory

00:05:12.939 --> 00:05:15.500
 that you bear much fruit,

00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:20.759
 showing yourselves to be my disciples.

00:05:22.259 --> 00:05:23.420
 So this morning,

00:05:23.560 --> 00:05:24.900
 we're going to think about

00:05:24.900 --> 00:05:27.259
 what it is to be fruitful.

00:05:27.460 --> 00:05:30.400
 We're going to ask two questions of the text.

00:05:31.080 --> 00:05:32.000
 What is the fruit,

00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:35.340
 and how can I be more fruitful?

00:05:35.339 --> 00:05:36.500
 What is the fruit,

00:05:37.279 --> 00:05:40.719
 and how can I be more fruitful?

00:05:41.959 --> 00:05:45.219
 So first, what is the fruit?

00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:48.000
 Well, I'm going to tell you straight up.

00:05:48.659 --> 00:05:50.339
 It's Christ-likeness.

00:05:51.199 --> 00:05:52.979
 Christ-likeness.

00:05:53.479 --> 00:05:55.179
 But we want to spend a bit of time

00:05:55.179 --> 00:05:56.359
 thinking about that

00:05:56.359 --> 00:05:58.059
 because as we go through,

00:05:58.559 --> 00:06:00.339
 we'll learn some foundational things.

00:06:00.339 --> 00:06:03.679
 We see what the fruit is

00:06:03.679 --> 00:06:05.739
 from verse 1.

00:06:07.219 --> 00:06:08.139
 Jesus says,

00:06:08.839 --> 00:06:12.319
 I am the true vine.

00:06:12.899 --> 00:06:14.739
 So this is the seventh time

00:06:14.739 --> 00:06:17.279
 Jesus has used this phrase,

00:06:17.719 --> 00:06:18.719
 I am,

00:06:18.979 --> 00:06:21.179
 to teach us who he is.

00:06:21.620 --> 00:06:24.379
 He's saying something about his identity.

00:06:24.379 --> 00:06:28.279
 I am the true vine.

00:06:29.240 --> 00:06:30.839
 A vine, or a vineyard,

00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:33.339
 as we saw from Psalm 80 this morning,

00:06:33.540 --> 00:06:37.079
 was a symbol for God's people Israel.

00:06:37.579 --> 00:06:39.079
 Just like a shamrock

00:06:39.079 --> 00:06:40.980
 is a national symbol for Ireland,

00:06:41.439 --> 00:06:46.060
 so the vine was a national symbol for Israel.

00:06:47.060 --> 00:06:48.540
 The problem was,

00:06:49.219 --> 00:06:50.519
 that's all it was.

00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:51.560
 It was a symbol.

00:06:51.560 --> 00:06:56.160
 It never produced any good fruit.

00:06:57.379 --> 00:06:59.519
 Keep your finger in John's Gospel

00:06:59.519 --> 00:07:03.339
 and go back to Isaiah chapter 5.

00:07:03.959 --> 00:07:05.840
 Isaiah chapter 5.

00:07:21.560 --> 00:07:27.139
 Isaiah chapter 5.

00:07:27.259 --> 00:07:29.139
 Here God is speaking

00:07:29.139 --> 00:07:31.079
 through the prophet Isaiah

00:07:31.079 --> 00:07:34.240
 and he gives us a picture

00:07:34.240 --> 00:07:36.939
 of a vineyard

00:07:36.939 --> 00:07:39.819
 and then he explains the meaning.

00:07:40.860 --> 00:07:41.939
 So we have a picture

00:07:41.939 --> 00:07:44.639
 and then we have an explanation.

00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:48.759
 So chapter 5, verse 1.

00:07:48.759 --> 00:07:52.500
 I will sing for the one I love

00:07:52.500 --> 00:07:55.959
 a song about his vineyard.

00:07:56.539 --> 00:07:58.259
 My loved one had a vineyard

00:07:58.259 --> 00:08:00.159
 on a fertile hillside.

00:08:00.740 --> 00:08:01.899
 He dug it up,

00:08:02.620 --> 00:08:03.939
 cleared it of stones,

00:08:04.740 --> 00:08:07.180
 planted it with the choicest vines.

00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:09.899
 He built a watchtower in it

00:08:09.899 --> 00:08:12.519
 and cut out a winepress as well.

00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:15.680
 Then he looked for a crop

00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:16.759
 of good grapes.

00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:22.560
 But it yielded only bad fruit.

00:08:22.759 --> 00:08:25.079
 Literally, stinky fruit.

00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:27.519
 So there's the picture.

00:08:27.680 --> 00:08:29.240
 Now we get the explanation

00:08:29.240 --> 00:08:30.759
 in verse 7.

00:08:32.759 --> 00:08:35.639
 The vineyard of the Lord Almighty

00:08:35.639 --> 00:08:38.360
 is the nation of Israel.

00:08:38.360 --> 00:08:40.680
 And the people of Judah

00:08:40.680 --> 00:08:43.180
 are the vines he delights in.

00:08:44.379 --> 00:08:47.080
 And he looked for justice,

00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:50.060
 but saw bloodshed.

00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:52.019
 For righteousness,

00:08:52.980 --> 00:08:56.460
 but heard cries of distress.

00:08:59.159 --> 00:09:00.800
 Let's keep that in mind

00:09:00.800 --> 00:09:03.820
 and go back to John chapter 15.

00:09:03.820 --> 00:09:07.760
 The fruit they were to produce

00:09:07.760 --> 00:09:09.620
 was the sweetness of righteousness

00:09:10.140 --> 00:09:11.920
 and justice.

00:09:12.140 --> 00:09:13.340
 But instead,

00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:15.680
 they produced bitter fruit,

00:09:16.500 --> 00:09:17.600
 stinky fruit,

00:09:18.280 --> 00:09:19.060
 injustice,

00:09:19.600 --> 00:09:20.900
 and unrighteousness.

00:09:21.300 --> 00:09:21.680
 You see,

00:09:21.760 --> 00:09:23.640
 they were called to reflect

00:09:23.640 --> 00:09:26.620
 the beauty of God's character,

00:09:27.040 --> 00:09:29.640
 a life of obeying God's good commands.

00:09:29.639 --> 00:09:30.399
 Instead,

00:09:30.659 --> 00:09:33.139
 they produced smelly,

00:09:33.419 --> 00:09:34.019
 stinky,

00:09:34.600 --> 00:09:35.879
 bad fruit.

00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:39.080
 Now Jesus says,

00:09:39.500 --> 00:09:40.399
 chapter 15,

00:09:40.519 --> 00:09:41.179
 verse 1,

00:09:42.220 --> 00:09:45.259
 I am the true vine.

00:09:46.500 --> 00:09:47.159
 In other words,

00:09:47.220 --> 00:09:47.679
 he's saying,

00:09:48.220 --> 00:09:50.100
 I am the only one

00:09:50.100 --> 00:09:54.740
 that produces good fruit,

00:09:55.620 --> 00:09:58.379
 sweet and delicious fruit.

00:09:59.340 --> 00:10:00.960
 Where Israel have failed,

00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:03.000
 Jesus has been faithful.

00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:04.820
 And it isn't just confined

00:10:04.820 --> 00:10:06.379
 to the nation of Israel,

00:10:06.779 --> 00:10:08.279
 it's for all people

00:10:08.279 --> 00:10:09.460
 throughout all ages

00:10:09.460 --> 00:10:10.379
 and all times,

00:10:10.680 --> 00:10:11.940
 we have all failed

00:10:11.940 --> 00:10:13.399
 to produce the fruit

00:10:13.399 --> 00:10:16.340
 we were made to produce.

00:10:16.340 --> 00:10:20.740
 But Jesus has been faithful.

00:10:21.840 --> 00:10:22.180
 You see,

00:10:22.280 --> 00:10:23.200
 Jesus lived

00:10:23.200 --> 00:10:24.960
 as we should have lived.

00:10:25.480 --> 00:10:27.519
 Jesus produces the fruit

00:10:27.519 --> 00:10:30.120
 that we should be bearing

00:10:30.120 --> 00:10:31.800
 in our lives.

00:10:33.139 --> 00:10:34.220
 Jesus lives

00:10:34.220 --> 00:10:37.139
 a fruitful life,

00:10:37.500 --> 00:10:38.940
 a beautiful life,

00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:41.120
 a pleasing to the Father

00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:42.580
 kind of life.

00:10:42.580 --> 00:10:44.800
 Look at the end

00:10:44.800 --> 00:10:45.900
 of chapter 14,

00:10:46.020 --> 00:10:47.000
 verse 31.

00:10:48.160 --> 00:10:50.259
 The end of verse 31,

00:10:50.480 --> 00:10:51.180
 Jesus says,

00:10:51.400 --> 00:10:53.320
 I love the Father.

00:10:53.900 --> 00:10:55.200
 I love him.

00:10:55.759 --> 00:10:57.340
 And I do exactly

00:10:57.340 --> 00:10:59.120
 what my Father

00:10:59.120 --> 00:11:01.100
 has commanded me.

00:11:02.780 --> 00:11:03.580
 The Son,

00:11:03.800 --> 00:11:04.180
 Jesus,

00:11:04.440 --> 00:11:05.259
 delights

00:11:05.259 --> 00:11:06.680
 and enjoys

00:11:06.680 --> 00:11:08.020
 doing what is right

00:11:08.020 --> 00:11:08.980
 and what is pleasing

00:11:08.980 --> 00:11:09.940
 for the Father.

00:11:10.740 --> 00:11:11.860
 I love him.

00:11:12.580 --> 00:11:15.100
 So what is the fruit

00:11:15.100 --> 00:11:16.960
 of a disciple?

00:11:18.540 --> 00:11:19.020
 Well,

00:11:19.080 --> 00:11:20.460
 the fruit of a disciple

00:11:20.460 --> 00:11:23.680
 is Christ-like character.

00:11:24.740 --> 00:11:26.259
 A life of loving

00:11:26.259 --> 00:11:28.240
 and enjoying

00:11:28.240 --> 00:11:30.420
 and desiring

00:11:30.420 --> 00:11:31.300
 the Father

00:11:31.300 --> 00:11:32.440
 and obeying

00:11:32.440 --> 00:11:34.080
 his commands.

00:11:35.080 --> 00:11:36.440
 What a beautiful

00:11:36.440 --> 00:11:39.280
 life that is.

00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:41.980
 So very simply,

00:11:42.199 --> 00:11:43.199
 what is the fruit?

00:11:43.959 --> 00:11:44.259
 Well,

00:11:44.299 --> 00:11:45.360
 it is the fruit

00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:47.459
 of Christ-likeness.

00:11:48.839 --> 00:11:50.319
 The second big question

00:11:50.319 --> 00:11:50.959
 we're going to ask,

00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:51.459
 and this will be

00:11:51.459 --> 00:11:52.139
 a bit longer,

00:11:52.299 --> 00:11:52.539
 is,

00:11:52.959 --> 00:11:53.299
 well,

00:11:53.399 --> 00:11:54.419
 how can I be

00:11:54.419 --> 00:11:56.199
 more fruitful?

00:11:56.759 --> 00:11:57.879
 How do we,

00:11:58.059 --> 00:11:58.720
 how do I

00:11:58.720 --> 00:11:59.299
 become

00:11:59.299 --> 00:12:00.360
 more

00:12:00.360 --> 00:12:02.439
 Christ-like?

00:12:02.440 --> 00:12:04.240
 because throughout

00:12:04.240 --> 00:12:04.960
 the text,

00:12:05.000 --> 00:12:05.780
 it's telling us

00:12:05.780 --> 00:12:06.620
 that we should be

00:12:06.620 --> 00:12:07.020
 bearing

00:12:07.020 --> 00:12:08.900
 much fruit

00:12:08.900 --> 00:12:09.880
 and becoming

00:12:09.880 --> 00:12:11.480
 more fruitful.

00:12:12.720 --> 00:12:13.320
 Well,

00:12:13.420 --> 00:12:13.900
 first,

00:12:14.900 --> 00:12:16.160
 if we're going

00:12:16.160 --> 00:12:17.020
 to be fruitful,

00:12:17.760 --> 00:12:19.160
 we need to be

00:12:19.160 --> 00:12:19.860
 connected

00:12:19.860 --> 00:12:21.440
 to the vine.

00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:23.060
 While it's not

00:12:23.060 --> 00:12:23.700
 stated,

00:12:23.960 --> 00:12:24.880
 it's implied

00:12:24.880 --> 00:12:25.760
 in the text.

00:12:26.100 --> 00:12:26.880
 A key word,

00:12:27.020 --> 00:12:27.460
 which we'll be

00:12:27.460 --> 00:12:29.020
 looking at in a minute,

00:12:29.540 --> 00:12:30.700
 throughout the text,

00:12:30.700 --> 00:12:31.900
 is remain,

00:12:32.160 --> 00:12:32.879
 or some of your

00:12:32.879 --> 00:12:34.240
 translations may say

00:12:34.240 --> 00:12:34.940
 abide.

00:12:36.900 --> 00:12:38.660
 If you are to remain,

00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:40.620
 it implies

00:12:40.620 --> 00:12:41.500
 that you are,

00:12:41.600 --> 00:12:42.480
 that you are

00:12:42.480 --> 00:12:43.980
 already in.

00:12:44.780 --> 00:12:45.060
 Okay,

00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:45.840
 if you're

00:12:45.840 --> 00:12:47.000
 in something,

00:12:47.160 --> 00:12:48.100
 you are to remain

00:12:48.100 --> 00:12:48.640
 in it.

00:12:49.000 --> 00:12:49.920
 So we need

00:12:49.920 --> 00:12:50.600
 to be first

00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:51.220
 connected

00:12:51.220 --> 00:12:52.660
 or joined

00:12:52.660 --> 00:12:53.680
 to the vine,

00:12:53.900 --> 00:12:54.640
 or to use

00:12:54.640 --> 00:12:55.640
 the horticultural

00:12:55.640 --> 00:12:56.080
 term,

00:12:56.480 --> 00:12:57.240
 we are to be

00:12:57.240 --> 00:12:58.200
 grafted

00:12:58.200 --> 00:12:59.000
 in

00:12:59.000 --> 00:13:00.679
 to the life

00:13:00.679 --> 00:13:01.299
 of Jesus,

00:13:01.820 --> 00:13:02.620
 who is

00:13:02.620 --> 00:13:03.679
 the true

00:13:03.679 --> 00:13:04.620
 vine.

00:13:05.679 --> 00:13:06.659
 And the way

00:13:06.659 --> 00:13:07.299
 in which we

00:13:07.299 --> 00:13:08.340
 get grafted

00:13:08.340 --> 00:13:10.340
 into the vine

00:13:10.340 --> 00:13:12.919
 is by faith

00:13:12.919 --> 00:13:14.240
 in Jesus.

00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:16.500
 As we believe

00:13:16.500 --> 00:13:17.159
 in Jesus,

00:13:17.620 --> 00:13:18.539
 as we place

00:13:18.539 --> 00:13:19.759
 our trust in him,

00:13:20.039 --> 00:13:20.799
 so we are

00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:21.539
 joined

00:13:21.539 --> 00:13:22.639
 and united

00:13:22.639 --> 00:13:23.740
 to the true

00:13:23.740 --> 00:13:24.259
 vine,

00:13:24.759 --> 00:13:25.840
 the one and only

00:13:25.840 --> 00:13:27.139
 Lord Jesus

00:13:27.139 --> 00:13:27.840
 Christ.

00:13:27.840 --> 00:13:29.360
 You see,

00:13:29.519 --> 00:13:30.460
 Jesus is

00:13:30.460 --> 00:13:31.120
 the true

00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:31.560
 vine.

00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:32.680
 He is the

00:13:32.680 --> 00:13:33.399
 true

00:13:33.399 --> 00:13:34.340
 people of

00:13:34.340 --> 00:13:34.660
 God.

00:13:34.920 --> 00:13:35.620
 He is the

00:13:35.620 --> 00:13:36.460
 only one.

00:13:36.720 --> 00:13:37.519
 It's not about

00:13:37.519 --> 00:13:38.399
 becoming part

00:13:38.399 --> 00:13:38.940
 of Israel

00:13:38.940 --> 00:13:39.600
 or becoming

00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:40.320
 part of any

00:13:40.320 --> 00:13:40.820
 nation.

00:13:41.920 --> 00:13:42.519
 It's about

00:13:42.519 --> 00:13:43.399
 being part

00:13:43.399 --> 00:13:44.300
 of God's

00:13:44.300 --> 00:13:44.860
 true

00:13:44.860 --> 00:13:45.759
 family.

00:13:47.100 --> 00:13:47.720
 The people

00:13:47.720 --> 00:13:48.200
 who have

00:13:48.200 --> 00:13:48.980
 faith

00:13:48.980 --> 00:13:50.160
 in the

00:13:50.160 --> 00:13:50.879
 Lord Jesus.

00:13:52.139 --> 00:13:53.240
 So trusting

00:13:53.240 --> 00:13:54.379
 Jesus as

00:13:54.379 --> 00:13:55.019
 the true

00:13:55.019 --> 00:13:55.759
 source of

00:13:55.759 --> 00:13:56.200
 life

00:13:56.200 --> 00:13:57.879
 connects us

00:13:57.879 --> 00:14:00.220
 and grafts

00:14:00.220 --> 00:14:00.860
 us in

00:14:00.860 --> 00:14:02.340
 to the

00:14:02.340 --> 00:14:02.780
 vine

00:14:02.780 --> 00:14:04.100
 which is

00:14:04.100 --> 00:14:04.680
 full of

00:14:04.680 --> 00:14:05.220
 life

00:14:05.220 --> 00:14:06.980
 and leads

00:14:06.980 --> 00:14:07.820
 to

00:14:07.820 --> 00:14:08.440
 fruitfulness.

00:14:09.160 --> 00:14:10.040
 So we

00:14:10.040 --> 00:14:10.740
 need to be

00:14:10.740 --> 00:14:12.180
 grafted in.

00:14:12.820 --> 00:14:13.660
 And once we

00:14:13.660 --> 00:14:14.780
 are in the

00:14:14.780 --> 00:14:15.280
 vine,

00:14:15.860 --> 00:14:16.500
 well then we

00:14:16.500 --> 00:14:17.300
 begin to

00:14:17.300 --> 00:14:18.379
 live as

00:14:18.379 --> 00:14:19.320
 Jesus lived.

00:14:19.580 --> 00:14:20.440
 That's part

00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:21.240
 of our new

00:14:21.240 --> 00:14:21.820
 nature.

00:14:22.200 --> 00:14:22.700
 As the

00:14:22.700 --> 00:14:23.379
 Lord Jesus

00:14:23.379 --> 00:14:24.360
 changes us

00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:25.100
 and transforms

00:14:25.100 --> 00:14:26.320
 us as we

00:14:26.320 --> 00:14:27.200
 are empowered

00:14:27.200 --> 00:14:27.879
 by the

00:14:27.879 --> 00:14:28.539
 indwelling

00:14:28.539 --> 00:14:29.419
 of the

00:14:29.419 --> 00:14:30.279
 Holy Spirit,

00:14:30.700 --> 00:14:31.860
 then we

00:14:31.860 --> 00:14:32.519
 begin to

00:14:32.519 --> 00:14:33.360
 bear fruit.

00:14:35.080 --> 00:14:36.080
 But here's

00:14:36.080 --> 00:14:36.500
 the thing.

00:14:37.340 --> 00:14:37.960
 We don't

00:14:37.960 --> 00:14:39.940
 stop at

00:14:39.940 --> 00:14:40.940
 being fruitful.

00:14:41.940 --> 00:14:43.060
 We are to

00:14:43.060 --> 00:14:44.259
 become even

00:14:44.259 --> 00:14:46.519
 more fruitful,

00:14:47.019 --> 00:14:48.300
 more sweet,

00:14:48.820 --> 00:14:49.980
 more delicious.

00:14:49.980 --> 00:14:50.180
 fruit.

00:14:50.180 --> 00:14:52.720
 So here are

00:14:52.720 --> 00:14:53.759
 two ways

00:14:53.759 --> 00:14:55.659
 God makes

00:14:55.659 --> 00:14:57.240
 us more

00:14:57.240 --> 00:14:58.019
 fruitful.

00:14:58.800 --> 00:14:59.539
 Two ways

00:14:59.539 --> 00:15:00.300
 in which God

00:15:00.300 --> 00:15:01.060
 makes us

00:15:01.060 --> 00:15:02.120
 more fruitful.

00:15:02.259 --> 00:15:02.759
 Because we

00:15:02.759 --> 00:15:03.539
 cannot make

00:15:03.539 --> 00:15:04.700
 ourselves fruitful,

00:15:05.480 --> 00:15:06.120
 this is a

00:15:06.120 --> 00:15:07.180
 work of God

00:15:07.180 --> 00:15:07.899
 the Father

00:15:07.899 --> 00:15:09.120
 and God

00:15:09.120 --> 00:15:09.740
 the Son

00:15:09.740 --> 00:15:10.820
 by the

00:15:10.820 --> 00:15:11.580
 Holy Spirit.

00:15:12.560 --> 00:15:13.519
 So how do

00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:14.039
 we become

00:15:14.039 --> 00:15:14.980
 more fruitful?

00:15:14.980 --> 00:15:15.060
 fruitful?

00:15:16.060 --> 00:15:17.019
 Well first,

00:15:17.680 --> 00:15:18.379
 the Father

00:15:18.379 --> 00:15:19.639
 prunes

00:15:19.639 --> 00:15:21.220
 fruitful

00:15:21.220 --> 00:15:22.000
 disciples.

00:15:23.240 --> 00:15:24.080
 The Father

00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:24.899
 prunes

00:15:24.899 --> 00:15:25.440
 fruitful

00:15:25.440 --> 00:15:26.000
 disciples.

00:15:26.379 --> 00:15:26.759
 Look at

00:15:26.759 --> 00:15:27.220
 verse 1

00:15:27.220 --> 00:15:27.720
 with me.

00:15:28.420 --> 00:15:29.180
 I am the

00:15:29.180 --> 00:15:29.960
 true vine

00:15:29.960 --> 00:15:31.139
 and my

00:15:31.139 --> 00:15:31.879
 Father is

00:15:31.879 --> 00:15:32.039
 the

00:15:32.039 --> 00:15:32.659
 gardener.

00:15:33.460 --> 00:15:34.399
 He cuts

00:15:34.399 --> 00:15:35.360
 off every

00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:36.240
 branch in

00:15:36.240 --> 00:15:37.700
 me that

00:15:37.700 --> 00:15:38.379
 bears no

00:15:38.379 --> 00:15:38.960
 fruit.

00:15:39.740 --> 00:15:40.759
 While every

00:15:40.759 --> 00:15:41.560
 branch that

00:15:41.560 --> 00:15:42.220
 does bear

00:15:42.220 --> 00:15:42.899
 fruit he

00:15:42.899 --> 00:15:44.340
 prunes so

00:15:44.340 --> 00:15:44.800
 that it

00:15:44.800 --> 00:15:45.180
 will be

00:15:45.180 --> 00:15:46.280
 even more

00:15:46.280 --> 00:15:46.879
 fruitful.

00:15:48.360 --> 00:15:48.980
 Now did

00:15:48.980 --> 00:15:49.540
 you notice

00:15:49.540 --> 00:15:50.200
 verse 2

00:15:50.200 --> 00:15:51.300
 there's two

00:15:51.300 --> 00:15:52.800
 things that

00:15:52.800 --> 00:15:53.340
 the Father

00:15:53.340 --> 00:15:53.920
 does.

00:15:55.060 --> 00:15:56.019
 First the

00:15:56.019 --> 00:15:56.340
 Father,

00:15:56.500 --> 00:15:57.040
 verse 2,

00:15:57.700 --> 00:15:58.879
 cuts off

00:15:58.879 --> 00:16:00.759
 every branch

00:16:00.759 --> 00:16:01.800
 in the

00:16:01.800 --> 00:16:03.040
 vine that

00:16:03.040 --> 00:16:04.740
 bears no

00:16:04.740 --> 00:16:05.160
 fruit.

00:16:06.759 --> 00:16:07.519
 These

00:16:07.519 --> 00:16:08.200
 branches,

00:16:08.840 --> 00:16:10.120
 I think,

00:16:10.800 --> 00:16:11.379
 are people

00:16:11.379 --> 00:16:12.280
 who claim

00:16:12.280 --> 00:16:12.780
 to be

00:16:12.780 --> 00:16:13.480
 disciples

00:16:13.480 --> 00:16:15.759
 but produce

00:16:15.759 --> 00:16:17.100
 no fruit

00:16:17.100 --> 00:16:18.680
 and are

00:16:18.680 --> 00:16:19.240
 simply

00:16:19.240 --> 00:16:20.899
 cut off

00:16:20.899 --> 00:16:22.700
 the dead

00:16:22.700 --> 00:16:23.340
 stuff,

00:16:23.980 --> 00:16:24.800
 cut away.

00:16:25.720 --> 00:16:26.580
 It doesn't

00:16:26.580 --> 00:16:28.100
 belong in

00:16:28.100 --> 00:16:28.680
 the vine.

00:16:29.519 --> 00:16:30.240
 Jesus says

00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:31.100
 something similar

00:16:31.100 --> 00:16:32.279
 in verse 6.

00:16:33.340 --> 00:16:34.100
 If you do

00:16:34.100 --> 00:16:34.980
 not remain in

00:16:34.980 --> 00:16:35.500
 me, you are

00:16:35.500 --> 00:16:36.620
 like a branch

00:16:36.620 --> 00:16:38.100
 that is thrown

00:16:38.100 --> 00:16:38.659
 away and

00:16:38.659 --> 00:16:39.139
 withers.

00:16:39.560 --> 00:16:40.639
 Such branches

00:16:40.639 --> 00:16:41.440
 are picked

00:16:41.440 --> 00:16:42.860
 up, thrown

00:16:42.860 --> 00:16:43.480
 into the

00:16:43.480 --> 00:16:45.060
 fire and

00:16:45.060 --> 00:16:45.580
 burned.

00:16:46.620 --> 00:16:47.540
 It's talking

00:16:47.540 --> 00:16:48.500
 about judgment

00:16:48.500 --> 00:16:50.220
 day where

00:16:50.220 --> 00:16:50.940
 God the

00:16:50.940 --> 00:16:51.780
 Father will

00:16:51.780 --> 00:16:53.460
 judge and

00:16:53.460 --> 00:16:54.260
 look for

00:16:54.260 --> 00:16:55.500
 fruit.

00:16:56.720 --> 00:16:57.440
 And if there

00:16:57.440 --> 00:16:58.400
 is no fruit,

00:16:59.060 --> 00:16:59.600
 it will be

00:16:59.600 --> 00:17:01.140
 cut away and

00:17:01.140 --> 00:17:02.280
 separated from

00:17:02.280 --> 00:17:03.840
 him forever.

00:17:04.900 --> 00:17:05.720
 Isn't that

00:17:05.720 --> 00:17:06.279
 what happened

00:17:06.279 --> 00:17:07.039
 to Judas?

00:17:07.039 --> 00:17:08.079
 Do you

00:17:08.079 --> 00:17:08.759
 remember back

00:17:08.759 --> 00:17:09.240
 in chapter

00:17:09.240 --> 00:17:09.960
 13?

00:17:10.619 --> 00:17:11.299
 He was

00:17:11.299 --> 00:17:11.940
 dead

00:17:11.940 --> 00:17:12.819
 wood.

00:17:13.680 --> 00:17:14.180
 Look back

00:17:14.180 --> 00:17:14.579
 at chapter

00:17:14.579 --> 00:17:15.299
 13,

00:17:15.399 --> 00:17:16.359
 verse 21.

00:17:18.879 --> 00:17:19.759
 Jesus is

00:17:19.759 --> 00:17:20.559
 speaking with

00:17:20.559 --> 00:17:21.420
 the disciples.

00:17:23.359 --> 00:17:24.099
 They'd been

00:17:24.099 --> 00:17:24.879
 following him

00:17:24.879 --> 00:17:25.599
 over three

00:17:25.599 --> 00:17:26.159
 years,

00:17:26.920 --> 00:17:27.720
 done so

00:17:27.720 --> 00:17:28.519
 much together,

00:17:28.819 --> 00:17:29.420
 and then

00:17:29.420 --> 00:17:29.960
 during the

00:17:29.960 --> 00:17:30.200
 meal,

00:17:30.339 --> 00:17:31.059
 verse 21,

00:17:31.259 --> 00:17:31.839
 Jesus says,

00:17:31.940 --> 00:17:32.480
 very truly,

00:17:32.619 --> 00:17:33.180
 I tell you,

00:17:33.500 --> 00:17:34.159
 one of you

00:17:34.159 --> 00:17:34.779
 is going to

00:17:34.779 --> 00:17:35.500
 betray me.

00:17:37.039 --> 00:17:37.759
 Well,

00:17:37.859 --> 00:17:38.960
 we're

00:17:38.960 --> 00:17:39.599
 disciples.

00:17:41.899 --> 00:17:42.539
 Who's

00:17:42.539 --> 00:17:42.859
 going to

00:17:42.859 --> 00:17:43.720
 betray us?

00:17:45.279 --> 00:17:45.920
 Well,

00:17:45.960 --> 00:17:46.180
 look at

00:17:46.180 --> 00:17:47.180
 verse 26.

00:17:48.319 --> 00:17:48.579
 Jesus

00:17:48.579 --> 00:17:49.159
 answered,

00:17:49.299 --> 00:17:49.740
 it is the

00:17:49.740 --> 00:17:50.220
 one to

00:17:50.220 --> 00:17:50.680
 whom I

00:17:50.680 --> 00:17:51.079
 will give

00:17:51.079 --> 00:17:51.659
 this piece

00:17:51.659 --> 00:17:52.200
 of bread

00:17:52.200 --> 00:17:53.039
 when I

00:17:53.039 --> 00:17:53.519
 have dipped

00:17:53.519 --> 00:17:53.920
 it in

00:17:53.920 --> 00:17:54.539
 the dish.

00:17:55.960 --> 00:17:57.139
 Verse 30,

00:17:57.960 --> 00:17:58.519
 as soon

00:17:58.519 --> 00:17:59.159
 as Judas

00:17:59.159 --> 00:17:59.839
 had taken

00:17:59.839 --> 00:18:00.599
 the bread,

00:18:01.639 --> 00:18:02.420
 he went

00:18:02.420 --> 00:18:03.259
 out,

00:18:04.299 --> 00:18:04.899
 and it

00:18:04.899 --> 00:18:05.279
 was

00:18:05.279 --> 00:18:06.480
 night.

00:18:07.039 --> 00:18:08.839
 Judas

00:18:08.839 --> 00:18:09.859
 had claimed

00:18:09.859 --> 00:18:11.059
 to be

00:18:11.059 --> 00:18:11.779
 a disciple.

00:18:12.539 --> 00:18:12.819
 Judas

00:18:12.819 --> 00:18:13.859
 appeared to

00:18:13.859 --> 00:18:14.180
 be a

00:18:14.180 --> 00:18:14.539
 disciple.

00:18:14.920 --> 00:18:15.220
 He was

00:18:15.220 --> 00:18:15.740
 amongst

00:18:15.740 --> 00:18:16.279
 the

00:18:16.279 --> 00:18:16.799
 disciples,

00:18:17.339 --> 00:18:17.720
 but the

00:18:17.720 --> 00:18:18.500
 fruit of

00:18:18.500 --> 00:18:19.339
 his life

00:18:19.339 --> 00:18:20.299
 revealed

00:18:20.299 --> 00:18:21.879
 that

00:18:21.879 --> 00:18:22.500
 ultimately

00:18:22.500 --> 00:18:24.019
 he was

00:18:24.019 --> 00:18:24.539
 not a

00:18:24.539 --> 00:18:25.019
 disciple

00:18:25.019 --> 00:18:26.099
 at all.

00:18:27.180 --> 00:18:27.980
 He was

00:18:27.980 --> 00:18:29.159
 cut off.

00:18:30.279 --> 00:18:30.899
 He didn't

00:18:30.899 --> 00:18:31.639
 belong

00:18:31.639 --> 00:18:32.819
 in the

00:18:32.819 --> 00:18:33.220
 vine.

00:18:33.220 --> 00:18:36.960
 some of

00:18:36.960 --> 00:18:37.100
 you,

00:18:37.220 --> 00:18:37.700
 I'm sure,

00:18:38.100 --> 00:18:38.519
 or all

00:18:38.519 --> 00:18:38.819
 of us

00:18:38.819 --> 00:18:39.180
 will be

00:18:39.180 --> 00:18:40.600
 aware of

00:18:40.600 --> 00:18:41.140
 the recent

00:18:41.140 --> 00:18:41.920
 trial of

00:18:41.920 --> 00:18:42.339
 Geoffrey

00:18:42.339 --> 00:18:43.059
 Donaldson,

00:18:44.420 --> 00:18:45.079
 an MP,

00:18:45.819 --> 00:18:46.720
 who had

00:18:46.720 --> 00:18:47.519
 been charged

00:18:47.519 --> 00:18:48.519
 and found

00:18:48.519 --> 00:18:49.799
 guilty of

00:18:49.799 --> 00:18:51.100
 18 sexual

00:18:51.100 --> 00:18:52.200
 offences to

00:18:52.200 --> 00:18:52.819
 minors.

00:18:52.819 --> 00:18:55.220
 But as

00:18:55.220 --> 00:18:55.700
 Geoffrey

00:18:55.700 --> 00:18:56.359
 took the

00:18:56.359 --> 00:18:56.960
 stand for

00:18:56.960 --> 00:18:57.480
 the trial

00:18:57.480 --> 00:18:58.059
 over those

00:18:58.059 --> 00:18:58.619
 number of

00:18:58.619 --> 00:18:59.960
 days in

00:18:59.960 --> 00:19:00.619
 his clean

00:19:00.619 --> 00:19:01.339
 pristine

00:19:01.339 --> 00:19:02.500
 navy suit,

00:19:03.399 --> 00:19:03.980
 on his

00:19:03.980 --> 00:19:04.619
 lapel

00:19:04.619 --> 00:19:05.939
 was a

00:19:05.939 --> 00:19:06.139
 little

00:19:06.139 --> 00:19:06.740
 fish,

00:19:07.879 --> 00:19:08.519
 a symbol

00:19:08.519 --> 00:19:09.480
 of

00:19:09.480 --> 00:19:10.339
 Christianity.

00:19:13.339 --> 00:19:14.059
 Well,

00:19:14.179 --> 00:19:15.539
 symbols do

00:19:15.539 --> 00:19:16.259
 not protect

00:19:16.259 --> 00:19:16.759
 us.

00:19:17.980 --> 00:19:18.779
 Symbols

00:19:18.779 --> 00:19:19.619
 do not

00:19:19.619 --> 00:19:20.299
 produce

00:19:20.299 --> 00:19:21.419
 fruit.

00:19:23.720 --> 00:19:24.319
 Symbols,

00:19:24.519 --> 00:19:25.099
 whether it's

00:19:25.099 --> 00:19:25.519
 a cross

00:19:25.519 --> 00:19:25.819
 on the

00:19:25.819 --> 00:19:26.119
 chain,

00:19:26.220 --> 00:19:26.419
 and I

00:19:26.419 --> 00:19:26.759
 don't have

00:19:26.759 --> 00:19:27.059
 anything

00:19:27.059 --> 00:19:27.519
 against

00:19:27.519 --> 00:19:27.819
 that,

00:19:27.899 --> 00:19:28.039
 or

00:19:28.039 --> 00:19:28.879
 stickers

00:19:28.879 --> 00:19:29.139
 of

00:19:29.139 --> 00:19:29.359
 fishes

00:19:29.359 --> 00:19:29.599
 in

00:19:29.599 --> 00:19:29.759
 your

00:19:29.759 --> 00:19:30.079
 car,

00:19:30.139 --> 00:19:30.240
 I

00:19:30.240 --> 00:19:30.419
 don't

00:19:30.419 --> 00:19:30.559
 have

00:19:30.559 --> 00:19:30.879
 anything

00:19:30.879 --> 00:19:31.259
 against

00:19:31.259 --> 00:19:31.500
 that

00:19:31.500 --> 00:19:31.839
 either,

00:19:32.839 --> 00:19:33.119
 they

00:19:33.119 --> 00:19:33.359
 do

00:19:33.359 --> 00:19:33.879
 not

00:19:33.879 --> 00:19:34.759
 protect

00:19:34.759 --> 00:19:35.299
 you.

00:19:36.859 --> 00:19:37.480
 They

00:19:37.480 --> 00:19:37.700
 do

00:19:37.700 --> 00:19:38.039
 not

00:19:38.039 --> 00:19:38.519
 bring

00:19:38.519 --> 00:19:39.180
 good

00:19:39.180 --> 00:19:39.960
 fruit.

00:19:41.819 --> 00:19:42.159
 You

00:19:42.159 --> 00:19:42.359
 see,

00:19:42.460 --> 00:19:42.619
 it's

00:19:42.619 --> 00:19:43.220
 possible

00:19:43.220 --> 00:19:43.899
 to say

00:19:43.899 --> 00:19:44.539
 you are

00:19:44.539 --> 00:19:44.740
 a

00:19:44.740 --> 00:19:45.200
 disciple,

00:19:45.700 --> 00:19:46.000
 but

00:19:46.000 --> 00:19:46.399
 not

00:19:46.399 --> 00:19:46.839
 be

00:19:46.839 --> 00:19:47.079
 a

00:19:47.079 --> 00:19:47.599
 disciple.

00:19:48.299 --> 00:19:48.619
 It's

00:19:48.619 --> 00:19:49.000
 possible

00:19:49.000 --> 00:19:49.779
 to act

00:19:49.779 --> 00:19:50.299
 like a

00:19:50.299 --> 00:19:50.779
 disciple,

00:19:51.119 --> 00:19:51.420
 but

00:19:51.420 --> 00:19:51.720
 not

00:19:51.720 --> 00:19:52.220
 be a

00:19:52.220 --> 00:19:52.519
 true

00:19:52.519 --> 00:19:53.019
 follower

00:19:53.019 --> 00:19:53.319
 of

00:19:53.319 --> 00:19:53.680
 Jesus.

00:19:54.059 --> 00:19:54.379
 So

00:19:54.379 --> 00:19:54.599
 how

00:19:54.599 --> 00:19:54.779
 do

00:19:54.779 --> 00:19:54.960
 we

00:19:54.960 --> 00:19:55.460
 know

00:19:55.460 --> 00:19:56.139
 if

00:19:56.139 --> 00:19:56.440
 we

00:19:56.440 --> 00:19:56.819
 are

00:19:56.819 --> 00:19:57.680
 disciples?

00:19:59.160 --> 00:19:59.740
 We

00:19:59.740 --> 00:20:00.019
 bear

00:20:00.019 --> 00:20:00.680
 fruit.

00:20:02.039 --> 00:20:02.379
 Jesus

00:20:02.379 --> 00:20:02.920
 said,

00:20:03.440 --> 00:20:03.960
 didn't

00:20:03.960 --> 00:20:04.220
 he,

00:20:05.119 --> 00:20:05.639
 that by

00:20:05.639 --> 00:20:05.899
 your

00:20:05.899 --> 00:20:06.440
 fruit

00:20:06.440 --> 00:20:07.359
 you

00:20:07.359 --> 00:20:07.559
 will

00:20:07.559 --> 00:20:07.819
 know

00:20:07.819 --> 00:20:08.099
 them.

00:20:09.019 --> 00:20:09.359
 We

00:20:09.359 --> 00:20:10.079
 display

00:20:10.079 --> 00:20:11.519
 Christ-like

00:20:11.519 --> 00:20:12.119
 character.

00:20:12.639 --> 00:20:12.740
 We

00:20:12.740 --> 00:20:13.240
 love

00:20:13.240 --> 00:20:13.519
 the

00:20:13.519 --> 00:20:13.920
 commands

00:20:13.920 --> 00:20:14.139
 of

00:20:14.139 --> 00:20:14.379
 God.

00:20:14.519 --> 00:20:14.619
 We

00:20:14.619 --> 00:20:15.899
 desire

00:20:15.899 --> 00:20:16.480
 to

00:20:16.480 --> 00:20:16.859
 obey

00:20:16.859 --> 00:20:17.099
 and

00:20:17.099 --> 00:20:17.420
 please

00:20:17.420 --> 00:20:17.639
 the

00:20:17.639 --> 00:20:17.920
 Father

00:20:17.920 --> 00:20:18.220
 and

00:20:18.220 --> 00:20:18.920
 seek

00:20:18.920 --> 00:20:19.140
 to

00:20:19.140 --> 00:20:19.300
 do

00:20:19.300 --> 00:20:19.539
 the

00:20:19.539 --> 00:20:19.900
 good

00:20:19.900 --> 00:20:20.700
 of

00:20:20.700 --> 00:20:21.400
 others.

00:20:23.019 --> 00:20:23.620
 So

00:20:23.620 --> 00:20:23.840
 the

00:20:23.840 --> 00:20:24.200
 Father

00:20:24.200 --> 00:20:24.500
 will

00:20:24.500 --> 00:20:24.880
 first

00:20:24.880 --> 00:20:25.180
 cut

00:20:25.180 --> 00:20:25.400
 off

00:20:25.400 --> 00:20:25.740
 every

00:20:25.740 --> 00:20:26.220
 branch

00:20:26.220 --> 00:20:26.480
 that

00:20:26.480 --> 00:20:27.000
 bears

00:20:27.000 --> 00:20:28.100
 no

00:20:28.100 --> 00:20:29.279
 fruit.

00:20:30.400 --> 00:20:30.900
 But

00:20:30.900 --> 00:20:31.080
 the

00:20:31.080 --> 00:20:31.360
 second

00:20:31.360 --> 00:20:31.660
 thing

00:20:31.660 --> 00:20:31.880
 the

00:20:31.880 --> 00:20:32.160
 Father

00:20:32.160 --> 00:20:32.720
 does

00:20:32.720 --> 00:20:33.560
 is

00:20:33.560 --> 00:20:33.840
 to

00:20:33.840 --> 00:20:34.460
 prune.

00:20:35.620 --> 00:20:36.279
 Verse

00:20:36.279 --> 00:20:36.660
 2.

00:20:36.980 --> 00:20:37.320
 Let's

00:20:37.320 --> 00:20:37.560
 read

00:20:37.560 --> 00:20:37.840
 verse

00:20:37.840 --> 00:20:38.080
 2

00:20:38.080 --> 00:20:38.440
 again.

00:20:39.400 --> 00:20:39.519
 He

00:20:39.519 --> 00:20:39.840
 cuts

00:20:39.840 --> 00:20:40.039
 off

00:20:40.039 --> 00:20:40.300
 every

00:20:40.300 --> 00:20:40.800
 branch

00:20:40.800 --> 00:20:40.800


00:20:40.800 --> 00:20:40.980
 In

00:20:40.980 --> 00:20:41.180
 me

00:20:41.180 --> 00:20:41.440
 that

00:20:41.440 --> 00:20:41.920
 bears

00:20:41.920 --> 00:20:42.460
 no

00:20:42.460 --> 00:20:43.400
 fruit.

00:20:44.060 --> 00:20:44.640
 While

00:20:44.640 --> 00:20:45.259
 every

00:20:45.259 --> 00:20:45.920
 branch

00:20:45.920 --> 00:20:46.240
 that

00:20:46.240 --> 00:20:46.720
 does

00:20:46.720 --> 00:20:47.039
 bear

00:20:47.039 --> 00:20:47.460
 fruit,

00:20:47.460 --> 00:20:47.740
 he

00:20:47.740 --> 00:20:48.360
 prunes

00:20:48.360 --> 00:20:49.019
 so

00:20:49.019 --> 00:20:49.319
 that

00:20:49.319 --> 00:20:49.500
 it

00:20:49.500 --> 00:20:49.660
 will

00:20:49.660 --> 00:20:49.900
 be

00:20:49.900 --> 00:20:50.400
 even

00:20:50.400 --> 00:20:50.940
 more

00:20:50.940 --> 00:20:51.559
 fruitful.

00:20:52.940 --> 00:20:53.380
 At

00:20:53.380 --> 00:20:53.539
 the

00:20:53.539 --> 00:20:53.779
 end

00:20:53.779 --> 00:20:53.920
 of

00:20:53.920 --> 00:20:54.100
 the

00:20:54.100 --> 00:20:54.380
 fruit

00:20:54.380 --> 00:20:54.840
 season,

00:20:55.000 --> 00:20:55.200
 and I

00:20:55.200 --> 00:20:55.380
 know

00:20:55.380 --> 00:20:55.660
 some

00:20:55.660 --> 00:20:55.819
 of

00:20:55.819 --> 00:20:55.960
 you

00:20:55.960 --> 00:20:56.319
 know

00:20:56.319 --> 00:20:56.579
 this

00:20:56.579 --> 00:20:56.880
 very,

00:20:57.000 --> 00:20:57.120
 very

00:20:57.120 --> 00:20:57.519
 well,

00:20:58.559 --> 00:20:58.980
 my

00:20:58.980 --> 00:20:59.319
 mum

00:20:59.319 --> 00:20:59.579
 would

00:20:59.579 --> 00:21:00.019
 cut

00:21:00.019 --> 00:21:00.380
 back

00:21:00.380 --> 00:21:00.660
 the

00:21:00.660 --> 00:21:01.039
 current

00:21:01.039 --> 00:21:01.460
 bushes

00:21:01.460 --> 00:21:02.140
 and

00:21:02.140 --> 00:21:02.340
 the

00:21:02.340 --> 00:21:02.779
 raspberry

00:21:02.779 --> 00:21:03.380
 canes

00:21:03.380 --> 00:21:03.920
 and I

00:21:03.920 --> 00:21:04.120
 thought,

00:21:04.259 --> 00:21:04.559
 that's

00:21:04.559 --> 00:21:04.740
 it,

00:21:04.819 --> 00:21:05.039
 that's

00:21:05.039 --> 00:21:05.160
 the

00:21:05.160 --> 00:21:05.380
 end,

00:21:05.480 --> 00:21:05.640
 no

00:21:05.640 --> 00:21:05.900
 more

00:21:05.900 --> 00:21:06.200
 fruit

00:21:06.200 --> 00:21:06.500
 picking,

00:21:06.660 --> 00:21:06.920
 she's

00:21:06.920 --> 00:21:07.140
 cut

00:21:07.140 --> 00:21:07.319
 them

00:21:07.319 --> 00:21:07.539
 all

00:21:07.539 --> 00:21:07.980
 down.

00:21:09.259 --> 00:21:09.460
 But

00:21:09.460 --> 00:21:09.640
 to

00:21:09.640 --> 00:21:09.880
 my

00:21:09.880 --> 00:21:10.319
 surprise,

00:21:10.480 --> 00:21:10.620
 they

00:21:10.620 --> 00:21:10.860
 only

00:21:10.860 --> 00:21:11.180
 grew

00:21:11.180 --> 00:21:11.579
 back

00:21:11.579 --> 00:21:12.000
 better

00:21:12.000 --> 00:21:12.279
 and

00:21:12.279 --> 00:21:12.819
 stronger.

00:21:13.240 --> 00:21:13.380
 In

00:21:13.380 --> 00:21:13.640
 fact,

00:21:13.720 --> 00:21:13.860
 they

00:21:13.860 --> 00:21:14.500
 produced

00:21:14.500 --> 00:21:15.300
 more

00:21:15.300 --> 00:21:15.940
 fruit.

00:21:16.900 --> 00:21:17.180
 And

00:21:17.180 --> 00:21:17.480
 that's

00:21:17.480 --> 00:21:17.660
 the

00:21:17.660 --> 00:21:17.960
 picture

00:21:17.960 --> 00:21:18.380
 here.

00:21:18.780 --> 00:21:18.940
 The

00:21:18.940 --> 00:21:19.360
 father

00:21:19.360 --> 00:21:20.440
 prunes

00:21:20.440 --> 00:21:21.260
 disciples

00:21:21.260 --> 00:21:22.480
 so that

00:21:22.480 --> 00:21:22.680
 we

00:21:22.680 --> 00:21:23.200
 become

00:21:23.200 --> 00:21:23.800
 more

00:21:23.800 --> 00:21:24.600
 fruitful.

00:21:25.140 --> 00:21:25.240
 And

00:21:25.240 --> 00:21:25.760
 while the

00:21:25.760 --> 00:21:26.380
 results

00:21:26.380 --> 00:21:27.200
 are great

00:21:27.200 --> 00:21:27.520
 and

00:21:27.520 --> 00:21:27.940
 delicious,

00:21:28.460 --> 00:21:28.680
 the

00:21:28.680 --> 00:21:29.280
 process

00:21:29.280 --> 00:21:29.560
 of

00:21:29.560 --> 00:21:29.960
 pruning

00:21:29.960 --> 00:21:30.980
 is

00:21:30.980 --> 00:21:31.580
 painful.

00:21:33.160 --> 00:21:33.400
 You

00:21:33.400 --> 00:21:33.580
 see,

00:21:33.660 --> 00:21:33.960
 there are

00:21:33.960 --> 00:21:34.660
 things that

00:21:34.660 --> 00:21:35.260
 we attach

00:21:35.260 --> 00:21:35.720
 ourselves

00:21:35.720 --> 00:21:36.720
 to that

00:21:36.720 --> 00:21:37.400
 take the

00:21:37.400 --> 00:21:37.980
 place of

00:21:37.980 --> 00:21:38.380
 Jesus.

00:21:38.780 --> 00:21:39.200
 Rather

00:21:39.200 --> 00:21:39.520
 than

00:21:39.520 --> 00:21:40.340
 looking to

00:21:40.339 --> 00:21:40.699
 Jesus

00:21:40.699 --> 00:21:41.159
 as the

00:21:41.159 --> 00:21:41.480
 true

00:21:41.480 --> 00:21:41.919
 source

00:21:41.919 --> 00:21:42.119
 of

00:21:42.119 --> 00:21:42.419
 life,

00:21:42.740 --> 00:21:42.980
 we

00:21:42.980 --> 00:21:43.299
 turn

00:21:43.299 --> 00:21:43.500
 to

00:21:43.500 --> 00:21:43.799
 other

00:21:43.799 --> 00:21:44.279
 things

00:21:44.279 --> 00:21:44.480
 and

00:21:44.480 --> 00:21:44.720
 other

00:21:44.720 --> 00:21:45.220
 people.

00:21:46.559 --> 00:21:46.859
 And

00:21:46.859 --> 00:21:47.099
 that

00:21:47.099 --> 00:21:47.699
 hinders

00:21:47.699 --> 00:21:47.939
 our

00:21:47.939 --> 00:21:48.480
 growth

00:21:48.480 --> 00:21:49.240
 and

00:21:49.240 --> 00:21:49.459
 our

00:21:49.459 --> 00:21:50.039
 fruitfulness.

00:21:51.039 --> 00:21:51.399
 So

00:21:51.399 --> 00:21:51.619
 the

00:21:51.619 --> 00:21:52.220
 father

00:21:52.220 --> 00:21:53.119
 comes

00:21:53.119 --> 00:21:53.740
 alongside

00:21:53.740 --> 00:21:54.939
 and

00:21:54.939 --> 00:21:55.659
 gently

00:21:55.659 --> 00:21:57.179
 confronts

00:21:57.179 --> 00:21:57.619
 us

00:21:57.619 --> 00:21:58.740
 by the

00:21:58.740 --> 00:21:59.359
 spirit

00:21:59.359 --> 00:22:01.220
 showing

00:22:01.220 --> 00:22:01.619
 us

00:22:01.619 --> 00:22:01.839
 our

00:22:01.839 --> 00:22:02.220
 sin

00:22:02.220 --> 00:22:03.459
 so

00:22:03.459 --> 00:22:03.699
 that

00:22:03.699 --> 00:22:03.919
 we

00:22:03.919 --> 00:22:04.199
 can

00:22:04.199 --> 00:22:04.939
 repent

00:22:04.939 --> 00:22:05.980
 and

00:22:05.980 --> 00:22:06.500
 turn

00:22:06.500 --> 00:22:06.819
 in

00:22:06.819 --> 00:22:07.299
 faith

00:22:07.299 --> 00:22:08.419
 afresh

00:22:08.419 --> 00:22:08.740
 to

00:22:08.740 --> 00:22:09.379
 Jesus.

00:22:10.339 --> 00:22:11.480
 Pruning

00:22:11.480 --> 00:22:13.220
 is the

00:22:13.220 --> 00:22:13.939
 serious

00:22:13.939 --> 00:22:14.419
 work

00:22:14.419 --> 00:22:14.679
 the

00:22:14.679 --> 00:22:15.039
 father

00:22:15.039 --> 00:22:15.500
 does

00:22:15.500 --> 00:22:15.799
 by

00:22:15.799 --> 00:22:16.059
 the

00:22:16.059 --> 00:22:16.500
 spirit

00:22:16.500 --> 00:22:17.459
 about

00:22:17.459 --> 00:22:17.799
 the

00:22:17.799 --> 00:22:18.220
 sin

00:22:18.220 --> 00:22:18.399
 in

00:22:18.399 --> 00:22:18.599
 our

00:22:18.599 --> 00:22:19.119
 life

00:22:19.119 --> 00:22:20.259
 so

00:22:20.259 --> 00:22:20.459
 that

00:22:20.459 --> 00:22:20.679
 we

00:22:20.679 --> 00:22:20.899
 can

00:22:20.899 --> 00:22:21.379
 cut

00:22:21.379 --> 00:22:21.559
 it

00:22:21.559 --> 00:22:21.919
 out

00:22:21.919 --> 00:22:23.000
 as

00:22:23.000 --> 00:22:23.179
 we

00:22:23.179 --> 00:22:23.579
 bring

00:22:23.579 --> 00:22:23.740
 it

00:22:23.740 --> 00:22:23.919
 to

00:22:23.919 --> 00:22:24.279
 him

00:22:24.279 --> 00:22:25.159
 and

00:22:25.159 --> 00:22:25.859
 confess

00:22:25.859 --> 00:22:26.839
 and

00:22:26.839 --> 00:22:27.159
 ask

00:22:27.159 --> 00:22:27.339
 him

00:22:27.339 --> 00:22:27.539
 to

00:22:27.539 --> 00:22:28.000
 change

00:22:28.000 --> 00:22:28.319
 us.

00:22:28.659 --> 00:22:29.000
 Pruning

00:22:29.000 --> 00:22:30.359
 is

00:22:30.359 --> 00:22:31.480
 purifying.

00:22:32.419 --> 00:22:32.699
 It's

00:22:32.699 --> 00:22:32.980
 good

00:22:32.980 --> 00:22:33.240
 for

00:22:33.240 --> 00:22:33.699
 us.

00:22:34.659 --> 00:22:35.059
 John,

00:22:35.159 --> 00:22:35.279
 the

00:22:35.279 --> 00:22:35.579
 author

00:22:35.579 --> 00:22:35.819
 of

00:22:35.819 --> 00:22:36.059
 this

00:22:36.059 --> 00:22:36.519
 gospel

00:22:36.519 --> 00:22:38.059
 puts

00:22:38.059 --> 00:22:38.240
 it

00:22:38.240 --> 00:22:38.480
 like

00:22:38.480 --> 00:22:38.919
 this

00:22:38.919 --> 00:22:39.740
 in

00:22:39.740 --> 00:22:40.000
 his

00:22:40.000 --> 00:22:40.440
 letter.

00:22:42.180 --> 00:22:42.859
 Again,

00:22:43.079 --> 00:22:43.359
 John

00:22:43.359 --> 00:22:43.579
 is

00:22:43.579 --> 00:22:44.039
 writing

00:22:44.039 --> 00:22:44.440
 to

00:22:44.440 --> 00:22:45.099
 disciples.

00:22:45.380 --> 00:22:45.460
 He

00:22:45.460 --> 00:22:45.779
 says,

00:22:46.200 --> 00:22:46.559
 if we

00:22:46.559 --> 00:22:47.319
 claim

00:22:47.319 --> 00:22:47.819
 to be

00:22:47.819 --> 00:22:48.259
 without

00:22:48.259 --> 00:22:48.819
 sin,

00:22:49.519 --> 00:22:50.059
 we

00:22:50.059 --> 00:22:50.660
 deceive

00:22:50.660 --> 00:22:51.240
 ourselves

00:22:51.240 --> 00:22:51.720
 and the

00:22:51.720 --> 00:22:52.180
 truth

00:22:52.180 --> 00:22:53.079
 is not

00:22:53.079 --> 00:22:54.140
 in us.

00:22:54.240 --> 00:22:54.640
 So it's

00:22:54.640 --> 00:22:55.059
 not about

00:22:55.059 --> 00:22:55.599
 becoming

00:22:55.599 --> 00:22:56.620
 perfect,

00:22:57.900 --> 00:22:58.559
 but it's

00:22:58.559 --> 00:22:59.259
 about owning

00:22:59.259 --> 00:23:00.160
 up to

00:23:00.160 --> 00:23:01.039
 our sin.

00:23:01.839 --> 00:23:02.259
 And if

00:23:02.259 --> 00:23:03.160
 we confess

00:23:03.160 --> 00:23:04.120
 our sins,

00:23:04.559 --> 00:23:04.819
 well,

00:23:04.880 --> 00:23:05.240
 he is

00:23:05.240 --> 00:23:05.900
 faithful

00:23:05.900 --> 00:23:06.720
 and just

00:23:06.720 --> 00:23:07.460
 and will

00:23:07.460 --> 00:23:08.140
 forgive us

00:23:08.140 --> 00:23:08.940
 our sins

00:23:08.940 --> 00:23:11.320
 and

00:23:11.320 --> 00:23:11.740
 what?

00:23:12.860 --> 00:23:13.740
 Purify

00:23:13.740 --> 00:23:14.440
 us

00:23:14.440 --> 00:23:15.640
 from

00:23:15.640 --> 00:23:16.279
 all

00:23:16.279 --> 00:23:17.860
 unrighteousness.

00:23:18.299 --> 00:23:18.420
 He

00:23:18.420 --> 00:23:18.720
 will

00:23:18.720 --> 00:23:19.539
 prune

00:23:19.539 --> 00:23:20.160
 us

00:23:20.160 --> 00:23:22.279
 so that

00:23:22.279 --> 00:23:22.440
 we

00:23:22.440 --> 00:23:22.940
 become

00:23:22.940 --> 00:23:23.580
 more

00:23:23.580 --> 00:23:24.480
 and more

00:23:24.480 --> 00:23:25.360
 like

00:23:25.360 --> 00:23:26.420
 him.

00:23:27.120 --> 00:23:27.500
 None

00:23:27.500 --> 00:23:27.860
 of us

00:23:27.860 --> 00:23:28.340
 likes

00:23:28.340 --> 00:23:28.680
 being

00:23:28.680 --> 00:23:29.259
 confronted

00:23:29.259 --> 00:23:29.880
 by our

00:23:29.880 --> 00:23:30.180
 sin,

00:23:31.200 --> 00:23:31.620
 but the

00:23:31.620 --> 00:23:32.019
 purpose

00:23:32.019 --> 00:23:32.940
 is not

00:23:32.940 --> 00:23:33.180
 to

00:23:33.180 --> 00:23:33.559
 condemn

00:23:33.559 --> 00:23:34.180
 us,

00:23:34.900 --> 00:23:35.380
 but to

00:23:35.380 --> 00:23:35.680
 grow

00:23:35.680 --> 00:23:36.160
 us.

00:23:37.080 --> 00:23:37.360
 It's

00:23:37.359 --> 00:23:37.759
 not to

00:23:37.759 --> 00:23:38.179
 pronounce

00:23:38.179 --> 00:23:38.699
 us all

00:23:38.699 --> 00:23:38.919
 as

00:23:38.919 --> 00:23:39.459
 failures

00:23:39.459 --> 00:23:39.879
 and that

00:23:39.879 --> 00:23:40.059
 we're

00:23:40.059 --> 00:23:40.259
 all

00:23:40.259 --> 00:23:40.599
 rotten

00:23:40.599 --> 00:23:40.879
 and

00:23:40.879 --> 00:23:41.159
 terrible

00:23:41.159 --> 00:23:41.740
 people,

00:23:41.740 --> 00:23:42.819
 but to

00:23:42.819 --> 00:23:43.519
 make us

00:23:43.519 --> 00:23:44.099
 more

00:23:44.099 --> 00:23:45.299
 fruitful.

00:23:46.539 --> 00:23:46.939
 It's the

00:23:46.939 --> 00:23:47.559
 Father's

00:23:47.559 --> 00:23:48.599
 work to

00:23:48.599 --> 00:23:49.559
 prune us

00:23:49.559 --> 00:23:50.619
 so that

00:23:50.619 --> 00:23:51.319
 we become

00:23:51.319 --> 00:23:52.159
 more like

00:23:52.159 --> 00:23:52.799
 his Son,

00:23:53.359 --> 00:23:53.879
 the Lord

00:23:53.879 --> 00:23:55.119
 Jesus Christ.

00:23:56.079 --> 00:23:56.859
 So the

00:23:56.859 --> 00:23:57.399
 Father

00:23:57.399 --> 00:23:58.659
 prunes

00:23:58.659 --> 00:23:59.199
 us.

00:24:00.319 --> 00:24:00.899
 Second,

00:24:02.579 --> 00:24:03.259
 the Son,

00:24:03.259 --> 00:24:05.879
 I've

00:24:05.879 --> 00:24:06.319
 jumped ahead

00:24:06.319 --> 00:24:06.799
 too much,

00:24:06.900 --> 00:24:07.680
 we'll leave

00:24:07.680 --> 00:24:07.980
 it there.

00:24:08.259 --> 00:24:08.720
 The Son

00:24:08.720 --> 00:24:09.539
 produces

00:24:09.539 --> 00:24:10.640
 fruitful

00:24:10.640 --> 00:24:11.379
 disciples.

00:24:11.660 --> 00:24:12.099
 The Son

00:24:12.099 --> 00:24:12.700
 produces

00:24:12.700 --> 00:24:13.299
 fruitful

00:24:13.299 --> 00:24:14.379
 disciples.

00:24:15.119 --> 00:24:15.519
 Bearing

00:24:15.519 --> 00:24:16.160
 fruit

00:24:16.160 --> 00:24:17.119
 is

00:24:17.119 --> 00:24:17.720
 connected

00:24:17.720 --> 00:24:18.339
 to

00:24:18.339 --> 00:24:19.000
 remaining

00:24:19.000 --> 00:24:19.640
 in

00:24:19.640 --> 00:24:20.039
 Jesus.

00:24:20.359 --> 00:24:20.640
 Eight

00:24:20.640 --> 00:24:21.299
 times,

00:24:21.759 --> 00:24:22.160
 if you're

00:24:22.160 --> 00:24:22.519
 to read

00:24:22.519 --> 00:24:22.980
 the text

00:24:22.980 --> 00:24:23.440
 again,

00:24:23.879 --> 00:24:24.039
 we're

00:24:24.039 --> 00:24:24.319
 called

00:24:24.319 --> 00:24:24.559
 to

00:24:24.559 --> 00:24:25.240
 remain

00:24:25.240 --> 00:24:25.879
 or

00:24:25.879 --> 00:24:26.539
 abide

00:24:26.539 --> 00:24:26.559
!

00:24:26.559 --> 00:24:27.700
 in

00:24:27.700 --> 00:24:28.759
 Jesus.

00:24:29.140 --> 00:24:29.460
 So look

00:24:29.460 --> 00:24:29.839
 at verse

00:24:29.839 --> 00:24:30.240
 four.

00:24:30.240 --> 00:24:32.380
 remain

00:24:32.380 --> 00:24:33.460
 in me

00:24:33.460 --> 00:24:34.680
 as I

00:24:34.680 --> 00:24:35.059
 also

00:24:35.059 --> 00:24:35.460
 remain

00:24:35.460 --> 00:24:35.920
 in you.

00:24:36.279 --> 00:24:36.740
 No

00:24:36.740 --> 00:24:37.480
 branch

00:24:37.480 --> 00:24:37.880
 can

00:24:37.880 --> 00:24:38.240
 bear

00:24:38.240 --> 00:24:38.700
 fruit

00:24:38.700 --> 00:24:39.039
 by

00:24:39.039 --> 00:24:39.640
 itself,

00:24:39.859 --> 00:24:40.259
 it

00:24:40.259 --> 00:24:40.620
 must

00:24:40.620 --> 00:24:41.299
 remain

00:24:41.299 --> 00:24:41.859
 in

00:24:41.859 --> 00:24:42.039
 the

00:24:42.039 --> 00:24:42.440
 vine.

00:24:43.599 --> 00:24:43.920
 Neither

00:24:43.920 --> 00:24:44.259
 can

00:24:44.259 --> 00:24:44.539
 you

00:24:44.539 --> 00:24:44.900
 bear

00:24:44.900 --> 00:24:45.559
 fruit

00:24:45.559 --> 00:24:46.640
 unless

00:24:46.640 --> 00:24:47.000
 you

00:24:47.000 --> 00:24:47.539
 remain

00:24:47.539 --> 00:24:48.039
 in

00:24:48.039 --> 00:24:48.339
 me.

00:24:49.599 --> 00:24:50.019
 So

00:24:50.019 --> 00:24:52.039
 remain

00:24:52.039 --> 00:24:52.339
 in

00:24:52.339 --> 00:24:52.859
 Jesus,

00:24:53.339 --> 00:24:53.759
 abide

00:24:53.759 --> 00:24:54.140
 in

00:24:54.140 --> 00:24:54.539
 Jesus.

00:24:55.380 --> 00:24:56.140
 But

00:24:56.140 --> 00:24:56.579
 how?

00:24:57.140 --> 00:24:57.880
 How do

00:24:57.880 --> 00:24:58.480
 we remain?

00:24:58.660 --> 00:24:59.019
 How do

00:24:59.019 --> 00:24:59.539
 we abide?

00:25:00.240 --> 00:25:01.120
 Well,

00:25:01.180 --> 00:25:01.579
 I think

00:25:01.579 --> 00:25:02.180
 the clue

00:25:02.180 --> 00:25:02.819
 comes

00:25:02.819 --> 00:25:03.259
 in

00:25:03.259 --> 00:25:03.599
 verse

00:25:03.599 --> 00:25:04.400
 three

00:25:04.400 --> 00:25:06.279
 and

00:25:06.279 --> 00:25:06.539
 in

00:25:06.539 --> 00:25:06.940
 verse

00:25:06.940 --> 00:25:07.779
 seven.

00:25:09.059 --> 00:25:09.759
 Notice

00:25:09.759 --> 00:25:10.079
 what

00:25:10.079 --> 00:25:10.380
 Jesus

00:25:10.380 --> 00:25:10.940
 said,

00:25:11.660 --> 00:25:12.019
 verse

00:25:12.019 --> 00:25:12.400
 three.

00:25:13.460 --> 00:25:13.700
 You

00:25:13.700 --> 00:25:13.960
 are

00:25:13.960 --> 00:25:14.779
 already

00:25:14.779 --> 00:25:15.839
 clean

00:25:15.839 --> 00:25:17.099
 because

00:25:17.099 --> 00:25:17.539
 of the

00:25:17.539 --> 00:25:17.779
 word

00:25:17.779 --> 00:25:18.160
 I have

00:25:18.160 --> 00:25:18.579
 spoken

00:25:18.579 --> 00:25:18.920
 to

00:25:18.920 --> 00:25:19.180
 you.

00:25:19.180 --> 00:25:19.900
 So

00:25:19.900 --> 00:25:20.839
 Jesus

00:25:20.839 --> 00:25:21.140
 had

00:25:21.140 --> 00:25:21.740
 spoken

00:25:21.740 --> 00:25:22.039
 the

00:25:22.039 --> 00:25:22.559
 word

00:25:22.559 --> 00:25:22.980
 of the

00:25:22.980 --> 00:25:23.420
 gospel

00:25:23.420 --> 00:25:23.779
 to

00:25:23.779 --> 00:25:24.099
 them.

00:25:25.039 --> 00:25:25.200
 That

00:25:25.200 --> 00:25:25.700
 word

00:25:25.700 --> 00:25:25.960
 had

00:25:25.960 --> 00:25:26.640
 cleaned

00:25:26.640 --> 00:25:26.940
 them

00:25:26.940 --> 00:25:27.180
 on

00:25:27.180 --> 00:25:27.339
 the

00:25:27.339 --> 00:25:27.839
 inside

00:25:27.839 --> 00:25:28.059
 and

00:25:28.059 --> 00:25:28.339
 made

00:25:28.339 --> 00:25:28.539
 them

00:25:28.539 --> 00:25:29.319
 disciples.

00:25:30.240 --> 00:25:31.559
 That

00:25:31.559 --> 00:25:32.180
 word

00:25:32.180 --> 00:25:32.960
 Jesus

00:25:32.960 --> 00:25:33.319
 had

00:25:33.319 --> 00:25:33.819
 spoken

00:25:33.819 --> 00:25:34.220
 to

00:25:34.220 --> 00:25:34.500
 them

00:25:34.500 --> 00:25:34.759
 had

00:25:34.759 --> 00:25:35.339
 cleaned

00:25:35.339 --> 00:25:35.779
 them

00:25:35.779 --> 00:25:36.720
 to

00:25:36.720 --> 00:25:37.000
 be

00:25:37.000 --> 00:25:37.620
 disciples

00:25:37.620 --> 00:25:38.720
 so

00:25:38.720 --> 00:25:38.960
 that

00:25:38.960 --> 00:25:39.160
 they

00:25:39.160 --> 00:25:39.359
 would

00:25:39.359 --> 00:25:39.620
 bear

00:25:39.620 --> 00:25:40.160
 fruit.

00:25:40.900 --> 00:25:41.240
 Now

00:25:41.240 --> 00:25:41.480
 look

00:25:41.480 --> 00:25:41.720
 down

00:25:41.720 --> 00:25:41.859
 at

00:25:41.859 --> 00:25:42.099
 verse

00:25:42.099 --> 00:25:42.519
 seven.

00:25:43.519 --> 00:25:44.279
 If

00:25:44.279 --> 00:25:44.500
 you

00:25:44.500 --> 00:25:45.079
 remain

00:25:45.079 --> 00:25:45.440
 in

00:25:45.440 --> 00:25:45.900
 me

00:25:45.900 --> 00:25:47.079
 and

00:25:47.079 --> 00:25:47.539
 my

00:25:47.539 --> 00:25:48.099
 words

00:25:48.099 --> 00:25:48.599
 remain

00:25:48.599 --> 00:25:48.900
 in

00:25:48.900 --> 00:25:49.380
 you,

00:25:50.579 --> 00:25:51.200
 ask

00:25:51.200 --> 00:25:51.799
 whatever

00:25:51.799 --> 00:25:52.400
 you wish

00:25:52.400 --> 00:25:52.680
 and it

00:25:52.680 --> 00:25:53.000
 will be

00:25:53.000 --> 00:25:53.279
 done

00:25:53.279 --> 00:25:53.539
 for

00:25:53.539 --> 00:25:53.799
 you.

00:25:53.799 --> 00:25:55.299
 you

00:25:55.299 --> 00:25:55.500
 see

00:25:55.500 --> 00:25:55.700
 the

00:25:55.700 --> 00:25:56.259
 remaining

00:25:56.259 --> 00:25:57.440
 is

00:25:57.440 --> 00:25:57.599
 to

00:25:57.599 --> 00:25:57.839
 be

00:25:57.839 --> 00:25:58.500
 connected

00:25:58.500 --> 00:25:59.079
 to

00:25:59.079 --> 00:26:00.139
 the

00:26:00.139 --> 00:26:00.639
 word

00:26:00.639 --> 00:26:00.940
 that

00:26:00.940 --> 00:26:01.299
 Jesus

00:26:01.299 --> 00:26:01.639
 has

00:26:01.639 --> 00:26:02.119
 spoken

00:26:02.119 --> 00:26:03.159
 Jesus

00:26:03.159 --> 00:26:03.899
 himself

00:26:03.899 --> 00:26:05.039
 and

00:26:05.039 --> 00:26:06.159
 prayer.

00:26:06.879 --> 00:26:07.039
 Verse

00:26:07.039 --> 00:26:07.339
 seven,

00:26:07.419 --> 00:26:07.680
 if you

00:26:07.680 --> 00:26:08.019
 remain

00:26:08.019 --> 00:26:08.680
 in my

00:26:08.680 --> 00:26:09.319
 words

00:26:09.319 --> 00:26:10.240
 and

00:26:10.240 --> 00:26:10.720
 remain

00:26:10.720 --> 00:26:11.000
 in

00:26:11.000 --> 00:26:11.359
 you,

00:26:11.639 --> 00:26:11.960
 my

00:26:11.960 --> 00:26:12.279
 words

00:26:12.279 --> 00:26:12.599
 remain

00:26:12.599 --> 00:26:12.759
 in

00:26:12.759 --> 00:26:12.940
 you,

00:26:13.180 --> 00:26:13.659
 ask

00:26:13.659 --> 00:26:14.039
 whatever

00:26:14.039 --> 00:26:14.279
 you

00:26:14.279 --> 00:26:14.500
 wish

00:26:14.500 --> 00:26:14.759
 and it

00:26:14.759 --> 00:26:14.859
 will

00:26:14.859 --> 00:26:15.039
 be

00:26:15.039 --> 00:26:15.279
 done

00:26:15.279 --> 00:26:15.519
 for

00:26:15.519 --> 00:26:15.759
 you.

00:26:16.799 --> 00:26:17.079
 So

00:26:17.079 --> 00:26:17.720
 remaining

00:26:17.720 --> 00:26:18.659
 is

00:26:18.659 --> 00:26:19.220
 connected

00:26:19.220 --> 00:26:19.680
 in

00:26:19.680 --> 00:26:20.839
 to

00:26:20.839 --> 00:26:21.119
 the

00:26:21.119 --> 00:26:21.599
 words

00:26:21.599 --> 00:26:21.839
 of

00:26:21.839 --> 00:26:22.240
 Jesus

00:26:22.240 --> 00:26:23.459
 and

00:26:23.459 --> 00:26:24.039
 praying

00:26:24.039 --> 00:26:24.699
 to

00:26:24.699 --> 00:26:25.079
 him.

00:26:25.439 --> 00:26:25.939
 That's

00:26:25.939 --> 00:26:26.099
 how

00:26:26.099 --> 00:26:26.359
 we

00:26:26.359 --> 00:26:26.919
 abide

00:26:26.919 --> 00:26:27.359
 in

00:26:27.359 --> 00:26:27.659
 Jesus.

00:26:28.039 --> 00:26:28.419
 That's

00:26:28.419 --> 00:26:28.539
 how

00:26:28.539 --> 00:26:28.740
 we

00:26:28.740 --> 00:26:29.220
 remain

00:26:29.220 --> 00:26:29.519
 in

00:26:29.519 --> 00:26:29.799
 Jesus.

00:26:30.019 --> 00:26:30.159
 We

00:26:30.159 --> 00:26:31.240
 keep

00:26:31.240 --> 00:26:32.139
 trusting

00:26:32.139 --> 00:26:32.539
 his

00:26:32.539 --> 00:26:32.939
 word.

00:26:32.939 --> 00:26:33.579
 As

00:26:33.579 --> 00:26:33.779
 we

00:26:33.779 --> 00:26:34.480
 started

00:26:34.480 --> 00:26:35.019
 trusting

00:26:35.019 --> 00:26:35.319
 his

00:26:35.319 --> 00:26:35.619
 word,

00:26:35.959 --> 00:26:36.419
 so we

00:26:36.419 --> 00:26:36.980
 continue

00:26:36.980 --> 00:26:37.459
 trusting

00:26:37.459 --> 00:26:37.779
 his

00:26:37.779 --> 00:26:38.059
 word

00:26:38.059 --> 00:26:38.659
 and

00:26:38.659 --> 00:26:38.859
 we

00:26:38.859 --> 00:26:39.399
 continue

00:26:39.399 --> 00:26:39.699
 to

00:26:39.699 --> 00:26:40.119
 ask

00:26:40.119 --> 00:26:40.379
 in

00:26:40.379 --> 00:26:40.899
 prayer

00:26:40.899 --> 00:26:41.559
 that

00:26:41.559 --> 00:26:41.740
 he

00:26:41.740 --> 00:26:41.939
 will

00:26:41.939 --> 00:26:42.139
 do

00:26:42.139 --> 00:26:42.319
 a

00:26:42.319 --> 00:26:42.559
 work

00:26:42.559 --> 00:26:42.740
 in

00:26:42.740 --> 00:26:43.579
 our

00:26:43.579 --> 00:26:44.179
 lives.

00:26:45.099 --> 00:26:45.579
 So

00:26:45.579 --> 00:26:46.119
 first,

00:26:46.919 --> 00:26:47.259
 we

00:26:47.259 --> 00:26:47.819
 trust

00:26:47.819 --> 00:26:48.699
 in

00:26:48.699 --> 00:26:49.000
 his

00:26:49.000 --> 00:26:49.559
 word.

00:26:50.480 --> 00:26:50.859
 We

00:26:50.859 --> 00:26:51.500
 believe

00:26:51.500 --> 00:26:52.000
 what

00:26:52.000 --> 00:26:52.359
 Jesus

00:26:52.359 --> 00:26:52.839
 said

00:26:52.839 --> 00:26:53.359
 about

00:26:53.359 --> 00:26:53.859
 himself.

00:26:54.140 --> 00:26:54.380
 It's

00:26:54.380 --> 00:26:54.579
 not

00:26:54.579 --> 00:26:54.740
 that

00:26:54.740 --> 00:26:54.900
 we

00:26:54.900 --> 00:26:55.180
 go

00:26:55.180 --> 00:26:55.559
 from

00:26:55.559 --> 00:26:56.500
 something

00:26:56.500 --> 00:26:56.819
 else

00:26:56.819 --> 00:26:57.019
 to

00:26:57.019 --> 00:26:57.380
 believing

00:26:57.380 --> 00:26:57.640
 in

00:26:57.640 --> 00:26:57.900
 Jesus

00:26:57.900 --> 00:26:58.200
 and

00:26:58.200 --> 00:26:58.319
 to

00:26:58.319 --> 00:26:58.599
 something

00:26:58.599 --> 00:26:58.859
 else.

00:26:59.119 --> 00:26:59.339
 No,

00:26:59.400 --> 00:26:59.519
 we

00:26:59.519 --> 00:26:59.880
 keep

00:26:59.880 --> 00:27:00.339
 believing

00:27:00.339 --> 00:27:00.619
 and

00:27:00.619 --> 00:27:00.940
 trusting

00:27:00.940 --> 00:27:01.220
 in

00:27:01.220 --> 00:27:01.420
 what

00:27:01.420 --> 00:27:01.579
 he

00:27:01.579 --> 00:27:01.779
 has

00:27:01.779 --> 00:27:02.240
 said.

00:27:03.019 --> 00:27:03.440
 I

00:27:03.440 --> 00:27:03.720
 am

00:27:03.720 --> 00:27:03.980
 the

00:27:03.980 --> 00:27:04.240
 bread

00:27:04.240 --> 00:27:04.420
 of

00:27:04.420 --> 00:27:04.900
 life.

00:27:05.640 --> 00:27:05.859
 I

00:27:05.859 --> 00:27:06.460
 nourish

00:27:06.460 --> 00:27:06.680
 you

00:27:06.680 --> 00:27:06.819
 and

00:27:06.819 --> 00:27:06.980
 I

00:27:06.980 --> 00:27:07.299
 feed

00:27:07.299 --> 00:27:07.539
 you.

00:27:07.920 --> 00:27:08.099
 I

00:27:08.099 --> 00:27:08.299
 am

00:27:08.299 --> 00:27:08.500
 the

00:27:08.500 --> 00:27:08.799
 light

00:27:08.799 --> 00:27:08.940
 of

00:27:08.940 --> 00:27:09.059
 the

00:27:09.059 --> 00:27:09.359
 world.

00:27:09.759 --> 00:27:09.859
 I

00:27:09.859 --> 00:27:10.259
 show

00:27:10.259 --> 00:27:10.460
 you

00:27:10.460 --> 00:27:10.700
 where

00:27:10.700 --> 00:27:10.880
 to

00:27:10.880 --> 00:27:11.099
 go.

00:27:11.500 --> 00:27:11.660
 I

00:27:11.660 --> 00:27:11.819
 am

00:27:11.819 --> 00:27:11.980
 the

00:27:11.980 --> 00:27:12.279
 door.

00:27:12.400 --> 00:27:12.579
 I

00:27:12.579 --> 00:27:12.720
 am

00:27:12.720 --> 00:27:12.880
 the

00:27:12.880 --> 00:27:13.259
 entrance

00:27:13.259 --> 00:27:13.519
 to

00:27:13.519 --> 00:27:13.740
 life.

00:27:14.140 --> 00:27:14.380
 I

00:27:14.380 --> 00:27:14.619
 am

00:27:21.500 --> 00:27:21.640
 the

00:27:21.640 --> 00:27:21.920
 life.

00:27:22.279 --> 00:27:22.400
 And

00:27:22.400 --> 00:27:22.640
 now

00:27:22.640 --> 00:27:23.000
 Jesus

00:27:23.000 --> 00:27:23.420
 says

00:27:23.420 --> 00:27:23.720
 verse

00:27:23.720 --> 00:27:24.279
 five

00:27:24.279 --> 00:27:25.160
 I

00:27:25.160 --> 00:27:25.759
 am

00:27:25.759 --> 00:27:26.059
 the

00:27:26.059 --> 00:27:26.740
 vine

00:27:26.740 --> 00:27:28.039
 and

00:27:28.039 --> 00:27:28.380
 you

00:27:28.380 --> 00:27:28.579
 are

00:27:28.579 --> 00:27:28.759
 the

00:27:28.759 --> 00:27:29.279
 branches

00:27:29.279 --> 00:27:29.960
 and

00:27:29.960 --> 00:27:30.220
 if

00:27:30.220 --> 00:27:30.440
 you

00:27:30.440 --> 00:27:30.900
 remain

00:27:30.900 --> 00:27:31.160
 in

00:27:31.160 --> 00:27:31.460
 me

00:27:31.460 --> 00:27:31.740
 and

00:27:31.740 --> 00:27:32.000
 I

00:27:32.000 --> 00:27:32.200
 in

00:27:32.200 --> 00:27:32.480
 you

00:27:32.480 --> 00:27:33.079
 you

00:27:33.079 --> 00:27:33.400
 will

00:27:33.400 --> 00:27:33.759
 bear

00:27:33.759 --> 00:27:34.339
 much

00:27:34.339 --> 00:27:34.819
 fruit

00:27:34.819 --> 00:27:35.460
 apart

00:27:35.460 --> 00:27:36.059
 from

00:27:36.059 --> 00:27:36.480
 me

00:27:36.480 --> 00:27:37.140
 you

00:27:37.140 --> 00:27:37.440
 can

00:27:37.440 --> 00:27:37.900
 do

00:27:37.900 --> 00:27:38.880
 nothing.

00:27:39.839 --> 00:27:40.440
 It's

00:27:40.440 --> 00:27:41.180
 trusting

00:27:41.180 --> 00:27:42.259
 in

00:27:42.259 --> 00:27:42.819
 Jesus

00:27:42.819 --> 00:27:43.700
 and

00:27:43.700 --> 00:27:43.940
 his

00:27:43.940 --> 00:27:44.559
 words

00:27:44.559 --> 00:27:45.220
 as

00:27:45.220 --> 00:27:45.460
 the

00:27:45.460 --> 00:27:45.960
 source

00:27:45.960 --> 00:27:46.680
 of

00:27:46.680 --> 00:27:47.259
 true

00:27:47.259 --> 00:27:47.859
 life.

00:27:48.440 --> 00:27:48.599
 It's

00:27:48.599 --> 00:27:49.119
 believing

00:27:49.119 --> 00:27:49.539
 that

00:27:49.539 --> 00:27:49.940
 Jesus

00:27:49.940 --> 00:27:50.299
 is

00:27:50.299 --> 00:27:50.700
 all

00:27:50.700 --> 00:27:51.440
 satisfied

00:27:51.440 --> 00:27:52.299
 and

00:27:52.299 --> 00:27:52.640
 all

00:27:52.640 --> 00:27:53.240
 sufficient.

00:27:53.840 --> 00:27:54.039
 It's

00:27:54.039 --> 00:27:54.400
 saying

00:27:54.400 --> 00:27:54.720
 verse

00:27:54.720 --> 00:27:55.180
 five

00:27:55.180 --> 00:27:55.720
 that

00:27:55.720 --> 00:27:56.140
 without

00:27:56.140 --> 00:27:56.740
 Jesus

00:27:56.740 --> 00:27:58.559
 I

00:27:58.559 --> 00:27:58.779
 can

00:27:58.779 --> 00:27:59.019
 do

00:27:59.019 --> 00:27:59.539
 nothing.

00:28:00.820 --> 00:28:00.900
 I

00:28:00.900 --> 00:28:01.240
 can't

00:28:01.240 --> 00:28:01.680
 produce

00:28:01.680 --> 00:28:02.080
 any

00:28:02.080 --> 00:28:02.620
 fruit

00:28:02.620 --> 00:28:03.620
 by

00:28:03.620 --> 00:28:04.240
 myself.

00:28:05.160 --> 00:28:05.740
 I

00:28:05.740 --> 00:28:06.100
 need

00:28:06.100 --> 00:28:06.700
 Jesus

00:28:06.700 --> 00:28:07.000
 the

00:28:07.000 --> 00:28:07.320
 true

00:28:07.320 --> 00:28:07.860
 vine

00:28:07.860 --> 00:28:08.640
 to

00:28:08.640 --> 00:28:08.920
 do

00:28:08.920 --> 00:28:09.220
 that

00:28:09.220 --> 00:28:09.519
 work.

00:28:09.920 --> 00:28:10.039
 I

00:28:10.039 --> 00:28:10.460
 cannot

00:28:10.460 --> 00:28:10.820
 make

00:28:10.820 --> 00:28:11.400
 myself

00:28:11.400 --> 00:28:11.980
 fruitful.

00:28:12.940 --> 00:28:13.100
 He

00:28:13.100 --> 00:28:13.320
 is

00:28:13.320 --> 00:28:13.500
 the

00:28:13.500 --> 00:28:13.779
 one

00:28:13.779 --> 00:28:14.240
 I

00:28:14.240 --> 00:28:14.900
 trust

00:28:14.900 --> 00:28:15.580
 to

00:28:15.580 --> 00:28:16.340
 produce

00:28:16.340 --> 00:28:17.360
 fruit

00:28:17.360 --> 00:28:18.160
 in

00:28:18.160 --> 00:28:18.559
 me.

00:28:20.000 --> 00:28:20.799
 So

00:28:20.799 --> 00:28:20.980
 we

00:28:20.980 --> 00:28:21.339
 trust

00:28:21.339 --> 00:28:21.519
 in

00:28:21.519 --> 00:28:21.700
 his

00:28:21.700 --> 00:28:22.119
 word

00:28:22.119 --> 00:28:24.000
 and

00:28:24.000 --> 00:28:24.220
 we

00:28:24.220 --> 00:28:24.839
 depend

00:28:24.839 --> 00:28:26.039
 in

00:28:26.039 --> 00:28:26.599
 prayer.

00:28:27.599 --> 00:28:27.980
 Again

00:28:27.980 --> 00:28:28.339
 look at

00:28:28.339 --> 00:28:28.539
 verse

00:28:28.539 --> 00:28:28.819
 seven.

00:28:28.899 --> 00:28:29.139
 If you

00:28:29.139 --> 00:28:29.500
 remain

00:28:29.500 --> 00:28:29.859
 in me

00:28:29.859 --> 00:28:30.240
 and my

00:28:30.240 --> 00:28:30.899
 words

00:28:30.899 --> 00:28:31.379
 remain

00:28:31.379 --> 00:28:31.839
 in you

00:28:31.839 --> 00:28:32.879
 ask

00:28:32.879 --> 00:28:34.039
 whatever

00:28:34.039 --> 00:28:34.680
 you wish

00:28:34.680 --> 00:28:34.940
 and it

00:28:34.940 --> 00:28:35.200
 will be

00:28:35.200 --> 00:28:35.419
 done

00:28:35.419 --> 00:28:35.839
 for you.

00:28:36.339 --> 00:28:36.460
 So

00:28:36.460 --> 00:28:37.039
 what do

00:28:37.039 --> 00:28:37.180
 you

00:28:37.180 --> 00:28:37.639
 want?

00:28:38.460 --> 00:28:38.819
 Just

00:28:38.819 --> 00:28:39.299
 ask him

00:28:39.299 --> 00:28:39.680
 for it

00:28:39.680 --> 00:28:40.000
 and he'll

00:28:40.000 --> 00:28:40.339
 give it

00:28:40.339 --> 00:28:40.839
 to you.

00:28:41.379 --> 00:28:41.700
 Want

00:28:41.700 --> 00:28:42.019
 a new

00:28:42.019 --> 00:28:42.419
 car?

00:28:43.419 --> 00:28:43.819
 Ask

00:28:43.819 --> 00:28:44.059
 him.

00:28:44.059 --> 00:28:44.559
 No?

00:28:44.559 --> 00:28:48.679
 Well,

00:28:50.940 --> 00:28:51.460
 it doesn't

00:28:51.460 --> 00:28:51.859
 mean that

00:28:51.859 --> 00:28:52.220
 we get

00:28:52.220 --> 00:28:52.559
 whatever

00:28:52.559 --> 00:28:52.819
 we

00:28:52.819 --> 00:28:53.339
 ask.

00:28:54.339 --> 00:28:54.940
 Context

00:28:54.940 --> 00:28:55.539
 is

00:28:55.539 --> 00:28:56.099
 key.

00:28:56.879 --> 00:28:57.019
 You

00:28:57.019 --> 00:28:57.240
 see,

00:28:57.319 --> 00:28:57.419
 it's

00:28:57.419 --> 00:28:57.639
 the

00:28:57.639 --> 00:28:58.240
 desire

00:28:58.240 --> 00:28:58.599
 of

00:28:58.599 --> 00:28:59.019
 Jesus

00:28:59.019 --> 00:28:59.399
 that

00:28:59.399 --> 00:28:59.639
 we

00:28:59.639 --> 00:29:00.319
 bear

00:29:00.319 --> 00:29:01.480
 fruit.

00:29:02.159 --> 00:29:02.539
 So

00:29:02.539 --> 00:29:02.960
 as we

00:29:02.960 --> 00:29:03.539
 come to

00:29:03.539 --> 00:29:03.700
 him

00:29:03.700 --> 00:29:03.879
 in

00:29:03.879 --> 00:29:04.139
 prayer

00:29:04.139 --> 00:29:04.480
 and

00:29:04.480 --> 00:29:04.980
 ask

00:29:04.980 --> 00:29:05.200
 of

00:29:05.200 --> 00:29:05.480
 him

00:29:05.480 --> 00:29:06.460
 anything

00:29:06.460 --> 00:29:06.779
 that

00:29:06.779 --> 00:29:06.960
 we

00:29:06.960 --> 00:29:07.299
 ask

00:29:07.299 --> 00:29:07.500
 of

00:29:07.500 --> 00:29:07.679
 in

00:29:07.679 --> 00:29:08.059
 terms

00:29:08.059 --> 00:29:08.259
 of

00:29:08.259 --> 00:29:08.799
 producing

00:29:08.799 --> 00:29:09.679
 fruit,

00:29:11.119 --> 00:29:11.339
 he

00:29:11.339 --> 00:29:11.579
 will

00:29:11.579 --> 00:29:11.839
 do

00:29:11.839 --> 00:29:12.119
 that

00:29:12.119 --> 00:29:12.460
 work

00:29:12.460 --> 00:29:12.679
 in

00:29:12.679 --> 00:29:13.139
 us.

00:29:13.140 --> 00:29:13.840
 He

00:29:13.840 --> 00:29:14.259
 will.

00:29:15.060 --> 00:29:15.360
 Isn't

00:29:15.360 --> 00:29:15.560
 that

00:29:15.560 --> 00:29:15.800
 good

00:29:15.800 --> 00:29:16.020
 to

00:29:16.020 --> 00:29:16.380
 know?

00:29:17.460 --> 00:29:17.740
 That

00:29:17.740 --> 00:29:18.180
 whatever

00:29:18.180 --> 00:29:18.500
 we

00:29:18.500 --> 00:29:18.840
 ask

00:29:18.840 --> 00:29:19.040
 in

00:29:19.040 --> 00:29:19.480
 relation

00:29:19.480 --> 00:29:19.780
 to

00:29:19.780 --> 00:29:20.100
 fruit

00:29:20.100 --> 00:29:20.520
 bearing,

00:30:19.619 --> 00:30:20.079
 Blessed

00:30:20.079 --> 00:30:20.599
 is the

00:30:20.599 --> 00:30:20.960
 one

00:30:20.960 --> 00:30:22.379
 who does

00:30:22.379 --> 00:30:23.220
 not walk

00:30:23.220 --> 00:30:23.859
 in step

00:30:24.220 --> 00:30:24.500
 wicked

00:30:24.500 --> 00:30:26.420
 or stand

00:30:26.420 --> 00:30:26.799
 in the

00:30:26.799 --> 00:30:27.299
 way that

00:30:27.299 --> 00:30:27.700
 sinners

00:30:27.700 --> 00:30:28.220
 take

00:30:28.220 --> 00:30:29.379

 in the

00:30:29.700 --> 00:30:30.059
 company

00:30:30.059 --> 00:30:30.279
 of

00:30:30.279 --> 00:30:30.819
 mockers.

00:30:30.819 --> 00:30:31.439
 God

00:30:31.439 --> 00:30:31.439


00:30:31.439 --> 00:30:31.619
 they're

00:30:31.619 --> 00:30:32.759
 listening

00:30:32.759 --> 00:30:33.659
 or trusting

00:30:33.659 --> 00:30:34.639
 in the

00:30:34.639 --> 00:30:35.099
 words

00:30:35.099 --> 00:30:35.819
 of

00:30:35.819 --> 00:30:36.319
 people.

00:30:37.819 --> 00:30:38.539
 But

00:30:38.539 --> 00:30:39.919
 blessed

00:30:39.919 --> 00:30:40.379
 is the

00:30:40.379 --> 00:30:40.779
 one

00:30:40.779 --> 00:30:41.859
 who

00:30:41.859 --> 00:30:43.099
 meditates

00:30:43.099 --> 00:30:44.039
 or

00:30:44.039 --> 00:30:44.419
 whose

00:30:44.419 --> 00:30:45.099
 delight

00:30:45.099 --> 00:30:45.519
 is in

00:30:45.519 --> 00:30:45.699
 the

00:30:45.699 --> 00:30:45.939
 law

00:30:45.939 --> 00:30:46.119
 of

00:30:46.119 --> 00:30:46.279
 the

00:30:46.279 --> 00:30:46.699
 Lord

00:30:46.699 --> 00:30:47.659
 and

00:30:47.659 --> 00:30:47.879
 who

00:30:47.879 --> 00:30:48.859
 meditates

00:30:48.859 --> 00:30:49.159
 on

00:30:49.159 --> 00:30:49.359
 his

00:30:49.359 --> 00:30:49.659
 law

00:30:49.659 --> 00:30:50.000
 day

00:30:50.000 --> 00:30:50.199
 and

00:30:50.199 --> 00:30:50.619
 night.

00:30:51.439 --> 00:30:51.639
 That

00:30:51.639 --> 00:30:52.139
 person

00:30:52.139 --> 00:30:52.659
 is like

00:30:52.659 --> 00:30:52.899
 a

00:30:52.899 --> 00:30:53.299
 tree

00:30:53.299 --> 00:30:53.839
 planted

00:30:53.839 --> 00:30:54.139
 by

00:30:54.139 --> 00:30:54.679
 streams

00:30:54.679 --> 00:30:54.899
 of

00:30:54.899 --> 00:30:55.319
 water

00:30:55.319 --> 00:30:56.159
 which

00:30:56.159 --> 00:30:56.779
 yields

00:30:56.779 --> 00:30:57.099
 its

00:30:57.099 --> 00:30:57.719
 fruit

00:30:57.719 --> 00:30:58.019
 in

00:30:58.019 --> 00:30:58.480
 season

00:30:58.480 --> 00:30:59.179
 and

00:30:59.179 --> 00:30:59.439
 whose

00:30:59.439 --> 00:30:59.839
 leaf

00:30:59.839 --> 00:31:00.119
 does

00:31:00.119 --> 00:31:00.399
 not

00:31:00.399 --> 00:31:00.839
 wither

00:31:00.839 --> 00:31:01.699
 whatever

00:31:01.699 --> 00:31:02.240
 they

00:31:02.240 --> 00:31:02.719
 do

00:31:02.719 --> 00:31:04.159
 prospers.

00:31:05.159 --> 00:31:05.480
 You

00:31:05.480 --> 00:31:05.619
 see

00:31:05.619 --> 00:31:06.179
 that word

00:31:06.179 --> 00:31:07.039
 meditating

00:31:07.039 --> 00:31:08.740
 is to

00:31:08.740 --> 00:31:09.240
 think

00:31:09.240 --> 00:31:09.899
 deeply

00:31:09.899 --> 00:31:10.699
 and reflect

00:31:10.699 --> 00:31:11.219
 much

00:31:11.220 --> 00:31:12.240
 and churn

00:31:12.240 --> 00:31:12.579
 around

00:31:12.579 --> 00:31:12.980
 in our

00:31:12.980 --> 00:31:13.440
 minds

00:31:13.440 --> 00:31:13.740
 the

00:31:13.740 --> 00:31:14.339
 words

00:31:14.339 --> 00:31:15.200
 of

00:31:15.200 --> 00:31:15.860
 God

00:31:15.860 --> 00:31:18.019
 to

00:31:18.019 --> 00:31:18.360
 think

00:31:18.360 --> 00:31:18.920
 deeply

00:31:18.920 --> 00:31:19.380
 about

00:31:19.380 --> 00:31:19.600
 them

00:31:19.600 --> 00:31:19.960
 and to

00:31:19.960 --> 00:31:20.400
 pray

00:31:20.400 --> 00:31:20.720
 them

00:31:20.720 --> 00:31:21.059
 into

00:31:21.059 --> 00:31:21.299
 our

00:31:21.299 --> 00:31:21.620
 life

00:31:21.620 --> 00:31:21.839
 so

00:31:21.839 --> 00:31:22.039
 that

00:31:22.039 --> 00:31:22.240
 they

00:31:22.240 --> 00:31:22.579
 bring

00:31:22.579 --> 00:31:22.900
 about

00:31:22.900 --> 00:31:23.500
 change

00:31:23.500 --> 00:31:23.700
 and

00:31:23.700 --> 00:31:24.279
 transformation

00:31:24.279 --> 00:31:25.160
 so

00:31:25.160 --> 00:31:25.380
 that

00:31:25.380 --> 00:31:25.620
 we

00:31:25.620 --> 00:31:26.360
 yield

00:31:26.360 --> 00:31:27.620
 fruit.

00:31:30.120 --> 00:31:30.880
 Let's

00:31:30.880 --> 00:31:31.360
 go back

00:31:31.360 --> 00:31:32.100
 to John's

00:31:32.100 --> 00:31:32.500
 gospel.

00:31:34.019 --> 00:31:34.799
 So

00:31:34.799 --> 00:31:35.039
 to

00:31:35.039 --> 00:31:35.700
 remain

00:31:35.700 --> 00:31:36.279
 in

00:31:36.279 --> 00:31:36.920
 Jesus

00:31:36.920 --> 00:31:38.819
 means

00:31:38.819 --> 00:31:39.120
 we

00:31:39.120 --> 00:31:39.720
 keep

00:31:39.720 --> 00:31:40.319
 on

00:31:40.319 --> 00:31:41.419
 trusting

00:31:41.419 --> 00:31:42.339
 the

00:31:42.339 --> 00:31:42.779
 words

00:31:42.779 --> 00:31:43.000
 of

00:31:43.000 --> 00:31:43.379
 Jesus.

00:31:44.279 --> 00:31:44.579
 The

00:31:44.579 --> 00:31:44.939
 words

00:31:44.939 --> 00:31:45.200
 that

00:31:45.200 --> 00:31:45.539
 made

00:31:45.539 --> 00:31:45.819
 us

00:31:45.819 --> 00:31:46.619
 clean

00:31:46.619 --> 00:31:47.659
 is

00:31:47.659 --> 00:31:47.839
 the

00:31:47.839 --> 00:31:48.179
 same

00:31:48.179 --> 00:31:48.559
 word

00:31:48.559 --> 00:31:48.799
 that

00:31:48.799 --> 00:31:49.000
 will

00:31:49.000 --> 00:31:49.259
 go

00:31:49.259 --> 00:31:49.619
 on

00:31:49.619 --> 00:31:50.079
 cleaning

00:31:50.079 --> 00:31:50.419
 us

00:31:50.419 --> 00:31:50.599
 to

00:31:50.599 --> 00:31:50.759
 be

00:31:50.759 --> 00:31:51.019
 more

00:31:51.019 --> 00:31:51.339
 like

00:31:51.339 --> 00:31:51.759
 Jesus.

00:31:53.039 --> 00:31:53.559
 And

00:31:53.559 --> 00:31:53.740
 we

00:31:53.740 --> 00:31:54.259
 depend

00:31:54.259 --> 00:31:54.639
 upon

00:31:54.639 --> 00:31:54.879
 him

00:31:54.879 --> 00:31:55.099
 in

00:31:55.099 --> 00:31:55.439
 prayer

00:31:55.439 --> 00:31:56.299
 asking

00:31:56.299 --> 00:31:56.679
 him

00:31:56.679 --> 00:31:56.879
 to

00:31:56.879 --> 00:31:57.139
 do

00:31:57.139 --> 00:31:57.359
 the

00:31:57.359 --> 00:31:57.639
 work

00:31:57.639 --> 00:31:57.819
 in

00:31:57.819 --> 00:31:58.079
 us

00:31:58.079 --> 00:31:58.519
 that

00:31:58.519 --> 00:31:58.700
 we

00:31:58.700 --> 00:31:59.059
 cannot

00:31:59.059 --> 00:31:59.379
 do

00:31:59.379 --> 00:31:59.539
 in

00:31:59.539 --> 00:32:00.099
 ourselves.

00:32:01.419 --> 00:32:01.939
 You

00:32:01.939 --> 00:32:02.159
 see

00:32:02.159 --> 00:32:02.359
 the

00:32:02.359 --> 00:32:02.919

 clearly

00:37:03.720 --> 00:37:04.080
 without
