00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.259
 Just a reminder for the kids, we do have clipboards at the back if you're looking for something to keep busy with.

00:00:05.900 --> 00:00:10.160
 And there's some coloring pages and things there, activity sheets for you guys.

00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:11.880
 So feel free to grab those if you'd like.

00:00:12.939 --> 00:00:18.240
 And we're continuing on again this morning with our journey through the Gospel of John.

00:00:18.859 --> 00:00:22.460
 And today, we come to a bit of a shift in the story.

00:00:23.440 --> 00:00:27.100
 Up until now, Jesus has been with his disciples in the upper room.

00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:29.440
 They ate the Passover meal there.

00:00:30.559 --> 00:00:31.960
 They've been talking with Jesus.

00:00:32.560 --> 00:00:34.920
 Well, mostly Jesus has been talking to them.

00:00:35.640 --> 00:00:40.060
 But now as the evening progresses, Jesus and his disciples leave that place.

00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:44.840
 We see this in John 14, verse 31.

00:00:45.039 --> 00:00:47.539
 Jesus says, come now, let us leave.

00:00:48.280 --> 00:00:51.240
 Probably our first question is, where are they going?

00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:54.700
 Interestingly, John doesn't tell us.

00:00:55.340 --> 00:00:57.700
 And if we just kind of skim through the next two chapters,

00:00:57.700 --> 00:01:02.160
 it looks like the conversation between Jesus and his disciples just keeps on going.

00:01:03.660 --> 00:01:06.579
 And again, it is mostly Jesus doing the talking.

00:01:07.159 --> 00:01:11.180
 And then we get to chapter 17, and Jesus begins a lengthy prayer.

00:01:11.180 --> 00:01:16.200
 And then finally, we come to the first verse of chapter 18, and it says this.

00:01:16.200 --> 00:01:22.020
 When Jesus had finished praying, Jesus left with his disciples and crossed the Kidron Valley.

00:01:22.860 --> 00:01:27.340
 On the other side, there was a garden, and he and his disciples went into it.

00:01:27.380 --> 00:01:29.900
 And if you keep reading, that's the Garden of Gethsemane.

00:01:29.900 --> 00:01:37.900
 So there's been a lot of speculation and debate about where Jesus goes with his disciples after leaving the upper room.

00:01:38.860 --> 00:01:44.420
 Some have suggested that perhaps they got up and were intending to go,

00:01:44.580 --> 00:01:50.080
 but like sometimes some of you have experienced, the conversation just keeps on going and going and going.

00:01:50.360 --> 00:01:54.140
 And before you know it, chapter 17 is over, and then they leave.

00:01:54.140 --> 00:01:58.519
 Others suggest that they actually do leave the house,

00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:03.599
 and that chapters 15 and 16 are the words of Jesus with his disciples

00:02:03.599 --> 00:02:07.780
 as they walk through the city streets of Jerusalem.

00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:12.319
 Some have suggested that maybe they end up at the temple,

00:02:12.659 --> 00:02:17.199
 and that Jesus does the high priestly prayer of chapter 17 at the temple.

00:02:18.020 --> 00:02:21.620
 And finally, some suggest that John is just telling the story a little out of order,

00:02:21.620 --> 00:02:27.319
 that he's trying to bring together all the things that night that were related and of the same theme,

00:02:27.580 --> 00:02:29.099
 and bring them together.

00:02:29.700 --> 00:02:32.599
 And so a few parts of the conversation are out of order.

00:02:33.960 --> 00:02:38.920
 I tend to think that Jesus and his disciples really did leave the upper room

00:02:38.920 --> 00:02:39.819
 when Jesus said,

00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:43.819
 Come now, let us leave, at the end of chapter 14.

00:02:45.159 --> 00:02:49.140
 And wherever the words of chapters 15 to 17 were said,

00:02:49.139 --> 00:02:54.039
 chapter 18 seems to make it clear that they must have been said

00:02:54.039 --> 00:02:58.659
 before they crossed the Kidron Valley and went to the garden.

00:02:59.959 --> 00:03:02.339
 Now, I'll admit, it does seem a little unlikely

00:03:02.339 --> 00:03:06.919
 that Jesus could be walking through the narrow streets of Jerusalem

00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:10.399
 with 11 men and having the kind of conversation

00:03:10.399 --> 00:03:14.899
 and teaching that we see in 15 and 16 at the same time.

00:03:14.900 --> 00:03:21.260
 Perhaps there was another spot where they stopped and lingered on the way.

00:03:22.620 --> 00:03:26.340
 Maybe the place that this conversation happens,

00:03:26.800 --> 00:03:28.360
 we don't know for sure,

00:03:28.860 --> 00:03:31.719
 but maybe it was a vineyard on the outskirts of the city.

00:03:32.780 --> 00:03:37.120
 Jesus often taught using metaphors and analogies

00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:40.439
 that were based off of the stuff that was right there in front of them.

00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:43.840
 And this next chapter, chapter 15,

00:03:44.099 --> 00:03:49.300
 is an extended teaching analogy borrowed from the vineyard.

00:03:50.139 --> 00:03:54.240
 So let's read what Jesus says here in John chapter 15.

00:03:56.319 --> 00:03:57.419
 He says,

00:03:57.840 --> 00:04:00.280
 I am the true vine,

00:04:00.780 --> 00:04:04.020
 and my Father is the gardener.

00:04:04.020 --> 00:04:10.520
 He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit,

00:04:11.300 --> 00:04:13.760
 while every branch that does bear fruit,

00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:17.960
 He prunes so that it will be even more fruitful.

00:04:19.579 --> 00:04:24.480
 You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you.

00:04:26.120 --> 00:04:30.420
 Remain in me as I also remain in you.

00:04:30.420 --> 00:04:33.939
 No branch can bear fruit by itself.

00:04:34.400 --> 00:04:37.360
 It must remain in the vine.

00:04:38.699 --> 00:04:43.560
 Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.

00:04:44.379 --> 00:04:45.640
 I am the vine.

00:04:46.620 --> 00:04:47.939
 You are the branches.

00:04:48.960 --> 00:04:52.280
 If you remain in me and I in you,

00:04:52.980 --> 00:04:55.280
 you will bear much fruit.

00:04:56.560 --> 00:04:57.520
 Apart from me,

00:04:58.139 --> 00:04:59.480
 you can do nothing.

00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:02.439
 If you do not remain in me,

00:05:02.540 --> 00:05:05.780
 you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers.

00:05:06.980 --> 00:05:08.800
 Such branches are picked up,

00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:10.220
 thrown into the fire,

00:05:10.900 --> 00:05:11.780
 and burned.

00:05:12.800 --> 00:05:14.240
 And Jesus goes on,

00:05:14.580 --> 00:05:18.120
 but we're going to stop and linger over these first few verses today.

00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:23.220
 I find it difficult even to know where to start with these words of Jesus.

00:05:23.220 --> 00:05:29.700
 The whole chapter is one of the most pregnant and precious portions of Scripture in the Bible.

00:05:29.699 --> 00:05:37.839
 Many Christians have memorized the first eight verses of this chapter in an effort to meditate on all that's here.

00:05:37.839 --> 00:05:44.959
 And we go to all this effort because we recognize that there's something here that's just so critical,

00:05:45.739 --> 00:05:47.299
 so foundational,

00:05:47.639 --> 00:05:49.359
 so profound,

00:05:49.539 --> 00:05:50.319
 so powerful,

00:05:50.319 --> 00:05:54.279
 that if we can get these words of Jesus deep into our hearts,

00:05:54.279 --> 00:05:57.680
 we just know that it'll change the rest of our lives.

00:05:57.680 --> 00:06:01.079
 So we don't want to rush past this.

00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:04.060
 I'm planning to spend a few weeks on these verses.

00:06:04.300 --> 00:06:07.199
 Today is just going to be part one of several.

00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:11.259
 We want to really take time to think about what Jesus is saying here.

00:06:12.420 --> 00:06:14.439
 Jesus begins by setting up the analogy,

00:06:15.460 --> 00:06:15.879
 the metaphor.

00:06:17.319 --> 00:06:17.759
 He says,

00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:19.219
 I am the true vine,

00:06:19.899 --> 00:06:23.159
 and my father is the gardener.

00:06:24.079 --> 00:06:25.920
 So picture in your mind a garden.

00:06:26.920 --> 00:06:28.539
 If you've been to a vineyard,

00:06:28.839 --> 00:06:29.800
 you can picture that,

00:06:30.259 --> 00:06:32.000
 but many of us may not have.

00:06:32.319 --> 00:06:33.879
 So in that case,

00:06:34.379 --> 00:06:35.639
 just picture a garden,

00:06:36.180 --> 00:06:38.500
 maybe with a cherry tomato plant growing in it.

00:06:38.699 --> 00:06:39.719
 There's some similarities.

00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:41.120
 They're not identical, I know,

00:06:41.279 --> 00:06:42.759
 but similar enough.

00:06:43.699 --> 00:06:45.680
 See that plant growing there in your mind.

00:06:45.680 --> 00:06:49.439
 It's got the main shoot coming out of the ground,

00:06:50.139 --> 00:06:51.160
 the vine,

00:06:51.800 --> 00:06:54.139
 and then off of the main shoot,

00:06:54.240 --> 00:06:55.400
 it has branches.

00:06:56.939 --> 00:06:59.900
 Some of those branches have grapes

00:06:59.900 --> 00:07:03.639
 or tomatoes hanging on them,

00:07:04.139 --> 00:07:05.439
 and others do not.

00:07:07.780 --> 00:07:09.780
 Jesus tells the men there with him,

00:07:10.660 --> 00:07:11.340
 verse 5,

00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:13.460
 I am the vine,

00:07:14.240 --> 00:07:15.420
 the main shoot,

00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:18.579
 you are the branches,

00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:22.600
 those secondary shoots coming off.

00:07:23.959 --> 00:07:25.319
 And he says,

00:07:25.420 --> 00:07:28.439
 my father is the gardener.

00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:32.540
 And the gardener, notice,

00:07:33.079 --> 00:07:35.759
 is not absent like in another parable

00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:37.060
 where a man buys a vineyard

00:07:37.060 --> 00:07:39.879
 and then kind of leaves it to some tenants.

00:07:39.879 --> 00:07:42.560
 No, Jesus tells us here

00:07:42.560 --> 00:07:44.000
 that the gardener is present.

00:07:45.019 --> 00:07:45.939
 He's active.

00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:47.659
 Verse 2.

00:07:48.719 --> 00:07:49.779
 What is he doing?

00:07:51.100 --> 00:07:52.959
 He is tending to the vine

00:07:52.959 --> 00:07:54.500
 that he has planted

00:07:54.500 --> 00:07:55.939
 in his vineyard.

00:07:56.879 --> 00:07:58.439
 He's seeing that some of the branches

00:07:58.439 --> 00:08:00.159
 are not producing fruit,

00:08:00.399 --> 00:08:02.579
 and he's cutting them off.

00:08:02.579 --> 00:08:05.399
 And then he's seeing that there's some

00:08:05.399 --> 00:08:07.060
 that are producing fruit,

00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:09.439
 but maybe not as much as they could be.

00:08:10.439 --> 00:08:12.699
 And so he is pruning them.

00:08:14.099 --> 00:08:15.860
 Those branches are putting energy

00:08:15.860 --> 00:08:18.000
 into other shoots and leaves

00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:19.120
 that are not necessary.

00:08:20.180 --> 00:08:22.879
 And so he prunes those unnecessary shoots

00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:25.439
 and leaves from that particular branch

00:08:25.439 --> 00:08:27.420
 so that all of the plant's resources

00:08:27.420 --> 00:08:29.199
 go into the formation of fruit

00:08:29.199 --> 00:08:30.399
 so that it produces

00:08:30.399 --> 00:08:31.920
 not just a little bit of fruit,

00:08:32.259 --> 00:08:33.299
 but a lot of fruit.

00:08:36.759 --> 00:08:38.000
 Now, I've really just started

00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:39.500
 to get into gardening myself

00:08:39.500 --> 00:08:40.919
 this past year.

00:08:42.159 --> 00:08:43.700
 And Jen and I,

00:08:43.759 --> 00:08:45.139
 we learned a few things this year.

00:08:45.899 --> 00:08:48.960
 We found this variety of tomato plant

00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:50.919
 called Sweet Millions.

00:08:52.039 --> 00:08:53.799
 And, you know, when I was growing up,

00:08:53.799 --> 00:08:55.719
 we had a variety called Sweet 100s.

00:08:55.719 --> 00:08:56.719
 Maybe you've heard of that one.

00:08:57.339 --> 00:08:59.740
 We had that planted in our garden back home.

00:09:00.299 --> 00:09:01.599
 And it was a big plant

00:09:01.599 --> 00:09:02.639
 that grew huge amounts

00:09:02.639 --> 00:09:05.159
 of these delicious little cherry tomatoes.

00:09:05.639 --> 00:09:07.000
 And we loved that as kids.

00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:08.799
 So when Jen and I ran across

00:09:08.799 --> 00:09:10.219
 this award-winning variety

00:09:10.219 --> 00:09:11.439
 called Sweet Millions,

00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:12.939
 we thought, oh, yeah.

00:09:13.479 --> 00:09:14.740
 We were so excited.

00:09:14.899 --> 00:09:16.179
 That's exactly what we want.

00:09:16.259 --> 00:09:17.359
 We don't want just hundreds

00:09:17.359 --> 00:09:18.259
 of cherry tomatoes.

00:09:18.379 --> 00:09:19.699
 We want millions of them.

00:09:20.379 --> 00:09:21.759
 We'll be able to snack on them

00:09:21.759 --> 00:09:22.759
 all summer long.

00:09:22.759 --> 00:09:24.279
 We could put them in salads.

00:09:24.519 --> 00:09:26.779
 We can give all the extras away.

00:09:27.879 --> 00:09:29.259
 There's only one problem.

00:09:30.259 --> 00:09:33.340
 We didn't start the seeds indoors early enough

00:09:33.340 --> 00:09:35.460
 to get the full harvest

00:09:35.460 --> 00:09:36.600
 that we had hoped for.

00:09:37.799 --> 00:09:39.899
 But we learned this one thing for sure.

00:09:41.340 --> 00:09:43.500
 Every gardener desires

00:09:43.500 --> 00:09:46.179
 as much fruit as possible.

00:09:47.679 --> 00:09:49.100
 That's why we plant the plant

00:09:49.100 --> 00:09:49.980
 in the first place.

00:09:49.980 --> 00:09:54.360
 And then we go to all that work

00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:57.200
 and time to check on that plant

00:09:57.200 --> 00:09:58.039
 and water it

00:09:58.039 --> 00:09:59.139
 and make sure it's healthy

00:09:59.139 --> 00:10:00.039
 and doing well.

00:10:01.080 --> 00:10:02.580
 We go to all that work

00:10:02.580 --> 00:10:03.940
 and we spend all that time

00:10:03.940 --> 00:10:05.039
 and put in all that effort

00:10:05.039 --> 00:10:06.720
 because we want a return

00:10:06.720 --> 00:10:07.580
 for our investment.

00:10:09.180 --> 00:10:11.300
 How disappointing to go to all that work

00:10:11.300 --> 00:10:13.440
 and find next to nothing

00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:14.879
 at harvest time.

00:10:14.879 --> 00:10:17.220
 That's how it felt

00:10:17.220 --> 00:10:18.039
 for our parsnips.

00:10:18.899 --> 00:10:20.399
 The picture on the seed package

00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:22.500
 showed these huge fat parsnips

00:10:22.500 --> 00:10:24.559
 and we planted quite a number of them.

00:10:24.659 --> 00:10:26.639
 It took forever for them to sprout

00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:28.600
 and after all that work

00:10:28.600 --> 00:10:29.320
 of watering them

00:10:29.320 --> 00:10:30.620
 we ended up with about a dozen

00:10:30.620 --> 00:10:32.580
 gangly little white carrot things

00:10:32.580 --> 00:10:34.039
 to show for it.

00:10:35.539 --> 00:10:37.600
 I share this to highlight

00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:40.720
 the reason that the gardener plants

00:10:40.720 --> 00:10:42.980
 and does all that work

00:10:42.980 --> 00:10:44.800
 is for the fruit.

00:10:46.360 --> 00:10:47.300
 It's for the fruit.

00:10:49.180 --> 00:10:50.600
 Think of that juicy tomato

00:10:50.600 --> 00:10:51.460
 being sliced

00:10:51.460 --> 00:10:54.320
 on your kitchen cutting board

00:10:54.320 --> 00:10:56.620
 or that cucumber.

00:10:56.840 --> 00:10:58.700
 Think of that fresh garden carrot

00:10:58.700 --> 00:11:00.000
 and the smile that it puts

00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:00.899
 on your face

00:11:00.899 --> 00:11:03.399
 when you crunch into it.

00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:05.600
 That sweet, earthy flavor

00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:06.420
 in your mouth.

00:11:06.419 --> 00:11:09.339
 eating fruit

00:11:09.339 --> 00:11:10.419
 is one of the delights

00:11:10.419 --> 00:11:11.919
 of life here on earth.

00:11:12.059 --> 00:11:13.099
 There's so much variety

00:11:13.099 --> 00:11:14.219
 there's so many different

00:11:14.219 --> 00:11:15.559
 ways to serve

00:11:15.559 --> 00:11:16.500
 and prepare them.

00:11:17.699 --> 00:11:18.860
 Jams and spreads

00:11:18.860 --> 00:11:20.879
 sliced fresh

00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:21.539
 on a sandwich

00:11:21.539 --> 00:11:22.839
 or in a veggie platter

00:11:22.839 --> 00:11:25.019
 sauces and sautés

00:11:25.019 --> 00:11:26.659
 medleys and salads

00:11:26.659 --> 00:11:28.419
 pies and desserts

00:11:28.419 --> 00:11:30.779
 fruit is so good.

00:11:31.599 --> 00:11:32.639
 It's a delight

00:11:32.639 --> 00:11:33.759
 in this world.

00:11:33.759 --> 00:11:36.419
 And so we must come

00:11:36.419 --> 00:11:37.120
 to terms

00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:39.000
 with the mindset

00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:40.819
 of the gardener.

00:11:42.039 --> 00:11:43.200
 It's good.

00:11:43.700 --> 00:11:44.759
 It's right

00:11:44.759 --> 00:11:46.220
 for the gardener

00:11:46.220 --> 00:11:47.919
 to tend that plant

00:11:47.919 --> 00:11:49.679
 in a way

00:11:49.679 --> 00:11:50.779
 that causes it

00:11:50.779 --> 00:11:51.500
 to produce

00:11:51.500 --> 00:11:52.879
 lots of fruit.

00:11:54.200 --> 00:11:55.340
 It's good

00:11:55.340 --> 00:11:55.879
 and it's right

00:11:55.879 --> 00:11:56.679
 for the gardener

00:11:56.679 --> 00:11:57.779
 to try to

00:11:57.779 --> 00:11:58.759
 maximize

00:11:58.759 --> 00:11:59.819
 the delight

00:11:59.819 --> 00:12:01.319
 and enjoyment

00:12:01.319 --> 00:12:02.659
 and benefit

00:12:02.659 --> 00:12:03.899
 that's going

00:12:03.899 --> 00:12:04.159
 to come

00:12:04.159 --> 00:12:05.240
 from each branch

00:12:05.240 --> 00:12:06.919
 of that plant.

00:12:08.919 --> 00:12:10.219
 We have to come

00:12:10.219 --> 00:12:10.799
 to terms

00:12:10.799 --> 00:12:12.000
 with the heart

00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:13.620
 and the mindset

00:12:13.620 --> 00:12:15.379
 of the gardener

00:12:15.379 --> 00:12:16.360
 and the gardener

00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:16.959
 says Jesus

00:12:16.959 --> 00:12:17.839
 is God

00:12:17.839 --> 00:12:19.360
 my father.

00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:21.319
 He's the one

00:12:21.319 --> 00:12:22.259
 working to bring

00:12:22.259 --> 00:12:23.600
 maximum fruit

00:12:23.600 --> 00:12:25.620
 maximum good

00:12:25.620 --> 00:12:27.799
 maximum benefit

00:12:27.799 --> 00:12:28.839
 maximum delight

00:12:28.839 --> 00:12:29.600
 and enjoyment

00:12:29.600 --> 00:12:30.419
 from each

00:12:30.419 --> 00:12:31.559
 branch

00:12:31.559 --> 00:12:32.359
 of the plant.

00:12:33.899 --> 00:12:34.899
 And the plant

00:12:34.899 --> 00:12:36.119
 the vine

00:12:36.119 --> 00:12:36.839
 is Jesus

00:12:36.839 --> 00:12:38.519
 and we

00:12:38.519 --> 00:12:38.979
 who believe

00:12:38.979 --> 00:12:39.439
 in Jesus

00:12:39.439 --> 00:12:40.019
 and belong

00:12:40.019 --> 00:12:40.500
 to him

00:12:40.500 --> 00:12:41.839
 are the branches.

00:12:45.059 --> 00:12:46.119
 As we consider

00:12:46.119 --> 00:12:46.619
 the mindset

00:12:46.619 --> 00:12:47.699
 of God

00:12:47.699 --> 00:12:49.359
 the gardener

00:12:49.359 --> 00:12:50.359
 we really have

00:12:50.359 --> 00:12:50.959
 to go back

00:12:50.959 --> 00:12:51.919
 a little bit

00:12:51.919 --> 00:12:52.599
 and think about

00:12:52.599 --> 00:12:53.139
 how things

00:12:53.139 --> 00:12:53.859
 have been going

00:12:53.859 --> 00:12:55.019
 between God

00:12:55.019 --> 00:12:57.000
 and his people

00:12:57.000 --> 00:12:59.139
 up until this

00:12:59.139 --> 00:13:00.000
 point in the story.

00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:01.200
 In fact

00:13:01.200 --> 00:13:01.639
 this isn't

00:13:01.639 --> 00:13:02.299
 the first time

00:13:02.299 --> 00:13:02.720
 that God

00:13:02.720 --> 00:13:03.360
 has spoken

00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:04.220
 in terms

00:13:04.220 --> 00:13:05.440
 of gardening

00:13:05.440 --> 00:13:06.759
 and even vineyards

00:13:06.759 --> 00:13:08.860
 about his

00:13:08.860 --> 00:13:09.460
 relationship

00:13:09.460 --> 00:13:10.240
 with the people.

00:13:11.279 --> 00:13:12.340
 Consider the words

00:13:12.340 --> 00:13:13.700
 of Psalm 80.

00:13:15.279 --> 00:13:16.539
 It's kind of a prayer.

00:13:18.340 --> 00:13:19.220
 Restore us

00:13:19.220 --> 00:13:20.159
 God almighty

00:13:20.159 --> 00:13:22.120
 make your face

00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:22.860
 shine on us

00:13:22.860 --> 00:13:23.960
 that we may be saved.

00:13:25.159 --> 00:13:26.360
 You transplanted

00:13:26.360 --> 00:13:27.460
 a vine from Egypt.

00:13:27.460 --> 00:13:29.060
 You drove out

00:13:29.060 --> 00:13:29.680
 the nations

00:13:29.680 --> 00:13:31.139
 and planted it.

00:13:31.680 --> 00:13:32.480
 You cleared

00:13:32.480 --> 00:13:32.900
 the ground

00:13:32.900 --> 00:13:33.360
 for it

00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:34.820
 and it took root

00:13:34.820 --> 00:13:35.900
 and filled the land.

00:13:36.900 --> 00:13:37.800
 The mountains

00:13:37.800 --> 00:13:38.379
 were covered

00:13:38.379 --> 00:13:39.240
 with its shade

00:13:39.240 --> 00:13:41.160
 the mighty cedars

00:13:41.160 --> 00:13:42.060
 with its branches

00:13:42.060 --> 00:13:44.480
 its branches

00:13:44.480 --> 00:13:45.320
 reached as far

00:13:45.320 --> 00:13:45.900
 as the sea

00:13:45.900 --> 00:13:46.500
 its shoots

00:13:46.500 --> 00:13:47.540
 as far as the river.

00:13:49.320 --> 00:13:50.240
 Why have you

00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:50.800
 broken down

00:13:50.800 --> 00:13:51.340
 its walls

00:13:51.340 --> 00:13:51.879
 so that all

00:13:51.879 --> 00:13:52.580
 who pass by

00:13:52.580 --> 00:13:53.420
 pick its grapes?

00:13:55.040 --> 00:13:55.360
 Boars

00:13:55.360 --> 00:13:56.139
 from the forest

00:13:56.139 --> 00:13:56.840
 ravage it

00:13:56.840 --> 00:13:57.399
 and insects

00:13:57.399 --> 00:13:58.059
 from the fields

00:13:58.059 --> 00:13:58.779
 feed on it.

00:13:59.980 --> 00:14:01.100
 Return to us

00:14:01.100 --> 00:14:02.120
 God almighty

00:14:02.120 --> 00:14:03.500
 look down

00:14:03.500 --> 00:14:04.019
 from heaven

00:14:04.019 --> 00:14:04.600
 and see

00:14:04.600 --> 00:14:06.179
 watch over

00:14:06.179 --> 00:14:06.819
 this vine

00:14:06.819 --> 00:14:08.279
 the root

00:14:08.279 --> 00:14:09.080
 your right hand

00:14:09.080 --> 00:14:09.679
 has planted

00:14:09.679 --> 00:14:11.039
 the son

00:14:11.039 --> 00:14:11.600
 you have raised

00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:12.419
 up for yourself

00:14:12.419 --> 00:14:13.879
 your vine

00:14:13.879 --> 00:14:14.720
 is cut down

00:14:14.720 --> 00:14:15.659
 it is burned

00:14:15.659 --> 00:14:16.299
 with fire

00:14:16.299 --> 00:14:18.439
 at your rebuke

00:14:18.439 --> 00:14:19.500
 your people perish

00:14:19.500 --> 00:14:21.960
 let your hand

00:14:21.960 --> 00:14:22.879
 rest on the man

00:14:22.879 --> 00:14:23.779
 at your right hand

00:14:23.779 --> 00:14:24.820
 the son of man

00:14:24.820 --> 00:14:25.799
 you have raised

00:14:25.799 --> 00:14:26.600
 up for yourself

00:14:26.600 --> 00:14:28.559
 then we will not

00:14:28.559 --> 00:14:29.500
 turn away from you

00:14:29.500 --> 00:14:31.460
 revive us

00:14:31.460 --> 00:14:32.600
 and we will call

00:14:32.600 --> 00:14:33.379
 on your name

00:14:33.379 --> 00:14:35.100
 restore us

00:14:35.100 --> 00:14:36.059
 Lord God almighty

00:14:36.059 --> 00:14:36.980
 make your face

00:14:36.980 --> 00:14:38.080
 shine on us

00:14:38.080 --> 00:14:40.120
 that we may be saved

00:14:40.120 --> 00:14:42.080
 in this psalm

00:14:42.080 --> 00:14:44.139
 Israel is likened

00:14:44.139 --> 00:14:44.799
 to a vine

00:14:44.799 --> 00:14:45.879
 that God planted

00:14:45.879 --> 00:14:47.220
 a vine that grew

00:14:47.220 --> 00:14:48.539
 tall and strong

00:14:48.539 --> 00:14:49.639
 and was very fruitful

00:14:49.639 --> 00:14:51.379
 but then

00:14:51.379 --> 00:14:52.559
 as the story goes

00:14:52.559 --> 00:14:53.719
 God turned against

00:14:53.719 --> 00:14:54.339
 this vine

00:14:54.339 --> 00:14:55.079
 in judgment

00:14:55.079 --> 00:14:57.439
 cutting it down

00:14:57.439 --> 00:14:59.299
 breaking down

00:14:59.299 --> 00:14:59.860
 the wall

00:14:59.860 --> 00:15:01.159
 of the vineyard

00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:02.240
 so that the

00:15:02.240 --> 00:15:03.099
 surrounding nations

00:15:03.099 --> 00:15:03.719
 could plunder

00:15:03.719 --> 00:15:04.299
 its fruit

00:15:04.299 --> 00:15:07.599
 consider also

00:15:07.599 --> 00:15:08.259
 the words of

00:15:08.259 --> 00:15:08.819
 Isaiah

00:15:08.819 --> 00:15:12.079
 from chapter 5

00:15:12.079 --> 00:15:13.699
 I will sing

00:15:13.699 --> 00:15:14.659
 for the one I love

00:15:14.659 --> 00:15:15.379
 a song about

00:15:15.379 --> 00:15:16.079
 his vineyard

00:15:16.079 --> 00:15:17.860
 my loved one

00:15:17.860 --> 00:15:18.720
 had a vineyard

00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:20.080
 on a fertile

00:15:20.080 --> 00:15:20.759
 hillside

00:15:20.759 --> 00:15:22.820
 he dug it up

00:15:22.820 --> 00:15:23.919
 and cleared it

00:15:23.919 --> 00:15:24.560
 of stones

00:15:24.560 --> 00:15:25.680
 and planted it

00:15:25.680 --> 00:15:26.600
 with the choicest

00:15:26.600 --> 00:15:27.820
 of vines

00:15:27.820 --> 00:15:31.000
 he built a watchtower

00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:31.500
 in it

00:15:31.500 --> 00:15:32.399
 and cut out

00:15:32.399 --> 00:15:33.080
 a wine press

00:15:33.080 --> 00:15:33.600
 as well

00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:35.259
 then

00:15:35.259 --> 00:15:36.659
 he looked

00:15:36.659 --> 00:15:37.720
 for a crop

00:15:37.720 --> 00:15:38.960
 of good grapes

00:15:38.960 --> 00:15:41.360
 but it yielded

00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:42.519
 only bad fruit

00:15:42.519 --> 00:15:45.100
 now you dwellers

00:15:45.100 --> 00:15:45.759
 in Jerusalem

00:15:45.759 --> 00:15:46.620
 and people

00:15:46.620 --> 00:15:47.159
 of Judah

00:15:47.159 --> 00:15:48.779
 judge between

00:15:48.779 --> 00:15:49.960
 me and my

00:15:49.960 --> 00:15:50.399
 vineyard

00:15:50.399 --> 00:15:52.120
 what more

00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:52.659
 could I have

00:15:52.659 --> 00:15:53.439
 could have been

00:15:53.439 --> 00:15:53.980
 done for my

00:15:53.980 --> 00:15:54.279
 vineyard

00:15:54.279 --> 00:15:54.720
 than I have

00:15:54.720 --> 00:15:55.340
 done for it

00:15:55.340 --> 00:15:56.879
 when I look

00:15:56.879 --> 00:15:57.840
 for good grapes

00:15:57.840 --> 00:15:59.079
 why did it

00:15:59.079 --> 00:15:59.379
 yield

00:15:59.379 --> 00:16:00.079
 only bad

00:16:00.079 --> 00:16:02.620
 now I will

00:16:02.620 --> 00:16:03.019
 tell you

00:16:03.019 --> 00:16:03.500
 what I'm going

00:16:03.500 --> 00:16:03.899
 to do

00:16:03.899 --> 00:16:04.679
 to my vineyard

00:16:04.679 --> 00:16:06.279
 I will take

00:16:06.279 --> 00:16:07.079
 away its hedge

00:16:07.079 --> 00:16:07.939
 and it will

00:16:07.939 --> 00:16:08.579
 be destroyed

00:16:08.580 --> 00:16:10.480
 I will break

00:16:10.480 --> 00:16:11.300
 down its wall

00:16:11.300 --> 00:16:12.580
 and it will

00:16:12.580 --> 00:16:13.200
 be trampled

00:16:13.200 --> 00:16:14.940
 I will make

00:16:14.940 --> 00:16:15.660
 it a wasteland

00:16:15.660 --> 00:16:16.520
 neither pruned

00:16:16.520 --> 00:16:17.379
 nor cultivated

00:16:17.379 --> 00:16:19.120
 and briars

00:16:19.120 --> 00:16:19.820
 and thorns

00:16:19.820 --> 00:16:20.639
 will grow there

00:16:20.639 --> 00:16:21.900
 I will command

00:16:21.900 --> 00:16:22.440
 the clouds

00:16:22.440 --> 00:16:23.200
 not to rain

00:16:23.200 --> 00:16:23.600
 on it

00:16:23.600 --> 00:16:26.040
 the vineyard

00:16:26.040 --> 00:16:26.759
 of the Lord

00:16:26.759 --> 00:16:27.320
 Almighty

00:16:27.320 --> 00:16:28.460
 is the nation

00:16:28.460 --> 00:16:29.060
 of Israel

00:16:29.060 --> 00:16:30.940
 and the people

00:16:30.940 --> 00:16:31.379
 of Judah

00:16:31.379 --> 00:16:32.080
 are the vines

00:16:32.080 --> 00:16:32.680
 he delighted

00:16:32.680 --> 00:16:33.020
 in

00:16:33.020 --> 00:16:34.680
 and he looked

00:16:34.680 --> 00:16:35.620
 for justice

00:16:35.620 --> 00:16:37.140
 but saw

00:16:37.140 --> 00:16:37.840
 bloodshed

00:16:37.840 --> 00:16:39.820
 for righteousness

00:16:39.820 --> 00:16:40.519
 but heard

00:16:40.519 --> 00:16:41.460
 cries

00:16:41.460 --> 00:16:42.540
 of distress

00:16:42.540 --> 00:16:46.920
 in this song

00:16:46.920 --> 00:16:47.460
 of the prophet

00:16:47.460 --> 00:16:47.960
 Isaiah

00:16:47.960 --> 00:16:49.399
 he invites

00:16:49.399 --> 00:16:49.960
 the people

00:16:49.960 --> 00:16:50.440
 of Israel

00:16:50.440 --> 00:16:51.120
 to consider

00:16:51.120 --> 00:16:51.759
 how God

00:16:51.759 --> 00:16:52.280
 feels

00:16:52.280 --> 00:16:53.000
 about them

00:16:53.000 --> 00:16:54.960
 God is the one

00:16:54.960 --> 00:16:55.720
 who has worked

00:16:55.720 --> 00:16:56.420
 to create

00:16:56.420 --> 00:16:57.920
 this vineyard

00:16:57.920 --> 00:16:59.540
 the nation

00:16:59.540 --> 00:17:00.100
 of Israel

00:17:00.100 --> 00:17:01.519
 he's the one

00:17:01.519 --> 00:17:02.240
 who's planted

00:17:02.240 --> 00:17:02.920
 and tended

00:17:02.920 --> 00:17:03.500
 to these

00:17:03.500 --> 00:17:04.279
 vines

00:17:04.279 --> 00:17:05.240
 in the vineyard

00:17:05.240 --> 00:17:06.019
 the people

00:17:06.019 --> 00:17:06.579
 of Judah

00:17:06.579 --> 00:17:08.399
 and God

00:17:08.399 --> 00:17:08.939
 describes

00:17:08.939 --> 00:17:09.299
 how he's

00:17:09.299 --> 00:17:09.639
 gone to

00:17:09.639 --> 00:17:10.460
 great lengths

00:17:10.460 --> 00:17:11.299
 for his vineyard

00:17:11.299 --> 00:17:12.619
 he prepared

00:17:12.619 --> 00:17:13.259
 the soil

00:17:13.259 --> 00:17:14.319
 he cleared

00:17:14.319 --> 00:17:14.939
 the stones

00:17:14.939 --> 00:17:15.460
 he planted

00:17:15.460 --> 00:17:15.980
 it with the

00:17:15.980 --> 00:17:16.559
 best of the

00:17:16.559 --> 00:17:16.980
 best

00:17:16.980 --> 00:17:18.220
 built a

00:17:18.220 --> 00:17:18.799
 watchtower

00:17:18.799 --> 00:17:19.199
 in it

00:17:19.199 --> 00:17:19.559
 cut a

00:17:19.559 --> 00:17:20.159
 winepress

00:17:20.159 --> 00:17:20.519
 out

00:17:20.519 --> 00:17:21.919
 and this

00:17:21.919 --> 00:17:22.179
 song

00:17:22.179 --> 00:17:23.419
 is like

00:17:23.419 --> 00:17:24.299
 an allegory

00:17:24.299 --> 00:17:26.259
 think of it

00:17:26.259 --> 00:17:27.240
 how did

00:17:27.240 --> 00:17:27.759
 Israel get

00:17:27.759 --> 00:17:28.319
 its start

00:17:28.319 --> 00:17:30.159
 God

00:17:30.159 --> 00:17:30.519
 started

00:17:30.519 --> 00:17:31.159
 with Abraham

00:17:31.159 --> 00:17:32.539
 the man

00:17:32.539 --> 00:17:32.939
 of great

00:17:32.939 --> 00:17:33.359
 faith

00:17:33.359 --> 00:17:34.779
 and Isaac

00:17:34.779 --> 00:17:35.279
 his son

00:17:35.279 --> 00:17:35.859
 and Jacob

00:17:35.859 --> 00:17:36.619
 the choicest

00:17:36.619 --> 00:17:37.159
 of vines

00:17:37.159 --> 00:17:37.719
 they were

00:17:37.719 --> 00:17:39.500
 all men

00:17:39.500 --> 00:17:40.039
 of faith

00:17:40.039 --> 00:17:41.659
 and God

00:17:41.659 --> 00:17:42.559
 planted them

00:17:42.559 --> 00:17:43.699
 in the land

00:17:43.699 --> 00:17:46.419
 and he purified

00:17:46.419 --> 00:17:46.719
 them

00:17:46.719 --> 00:17:47.259
 and grew

00:17:47.259 --> 00:17:47.659
 them

00:17:47.659 --> 00:17:48.399
 and increased

00:17:48.399 --> 00:17:49.279
 they increased

00:17:49.279 --> 00:17:49.759
 in number

00:17:49.759 --> 00:17:50.639
 when they went

00:17:50.639 --> 00:17:51.379
 down to Egypt

00:17:51.379 --> 00:17:52.079
 and God

00:17:52.079 --> 00:17:52.839
 purified them

00:17:52.839 --> 00:17:53.279
 some more

00:17:53.279 --> 00:17:53.759
 and taught

00:17:53.759 --> 00:17:54.019
 them

00:17:54.019 --> 00:17:54.459
 and led

00:17:54.459 --> 00:17:54.759
 them

00:17:54.759 --> 00:17:56.500
 as they

00:17:56.500 --> 00:17:56.959
 were in

00:17:56.959 --> 00:17:57.500
 the wilderness

00:17:57.500 --> 00:17:58.459
 and then he

00:17:58.459 --> 00:17:59.399
 transplanted them

00:17:59.399 --> 00:18:00.159
 into the land

00:18:00.159 --> 00:18:00.740
 of Israel

00:18:00.740 --> 00:18:02.059
 before that

00:18:02.059 --> 00:18:02.480
 it had been

00:18:02.480 --> 00:18:02.859
 a land

00:18:02.859 --> 00:18:03.279
 full of

00:18:03.279 --> 00:18:03.960
 wickedness

00:18:03.960 --> 00:18:05.019
 God

00:18:05.019 --> 00:18:06.819
 cleared the

00:18:06.819 --> 00:18:07.180
 stones

00:18:07.180 --> 00:18:07.859
 he cleaned

00:18:07.859 --> 00:18:08.359
 house

00:18:08.359 --> 00:18:08.880
 in the land

00:18:08.880 --> 00:18:09.420
 of Canaan

00:18:09.420 --> 00:18:09.960
 and he brought

00:18:09.960 --> 00:18:11.019
 his chosen

00:18:11.019 --> 00:18:11.839
 vines

00:18:11.839 --> 00:18:12.680
 and planted

00:18:12.680 --> 00:18:13.380
 them there

00:18:13.380 --> 00:18:15.059
 giving them

00:18:15.059 --> 00:18:15.640
 everything they

00:18:15.640 --> 00:18:16.319
 needed to grow

00:18:16.319 --> 00:18:17.079
 strong and

00:18:17.079 --> 00:18:17.680
 healthy and

00:18:17.680 --> 00:18:18.259
 produce all

00:18:18.259 --> 00:18:18.819
 kinds of

00:18:18.819 --> 00:18:19.359
 good fruit

00:18:19.359 --> 00:18:21.279
 they were to

00:18:21.279 --> 00:18:22.000
 be a nation

00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:22.640
 characterized

00:18:22.640 --> 00:18:23.640
 by righteousness

00:18:23.640 --> 00:18:25.339
 and justice

00:18:25.339 --> 00:18:26.740
 a light to

00:18:26.740 --> 00:18:27.099
 the whole

00:18:27.099 --> 00:18:27.579
 world

00:18:27.579 --> 00:18:29.039
 displaying

00:18:29.039 --> 00:18:29.859
 the glory

00:18:29.859 --> 00:18:30.719
 of their

00:18:30.719 --> 00:18:31.159
 God

00:18:31.159 --> 00:18:33.099
 then God

00:18:33.099 --> 00:18:33.639
 looked for

00:18:33.639 --> 00:18:34.179
 a crop

00:18:34.179 --> 00:18:35.539
 of good

00:18:35.539 --> 00:18:36.079
 grapes

00:18:36.079 --> 00:18:37.859
 he waited

00:18:37.859 --> 00:18:38.379
 patiently

00:18:38.379 --> 00:18:38.879
 like a

00:18:38.879 --> 00:18:39.379
 gardener

00:18:39.379 --> 00:18:39.799
 waits

00:18:39.799 --> 00:18:41.699
 for the

00:18:41.699 --> 00:18:42.240
 flowers

00:18:42.240 --> 00:18:43.259
 and then

00:18:43.259 --> 00:18:43.719
 the fruit

00:18:43.719 --> 00:18:45.799
 and what

00:18:45.799 --> 00:18:46.139
 was the

00:18:46.139 --> 00:18:46.579
 result

00:18:46.579 --> 00:18:49.119
 century

00:18:49.119 --> 00:18:49.959
 after

00:18:49.959 --> 00:18:50.599
 century

00:18:50.599 --> 00:18:51.019
 after

00:18:51.019 --> 00:18:51.679
 century

00:18:51.679 --> 00:18:53.500
 bad

00:18:53.500 --> 00:18:53.899
 fruit

00:18:53.899 --> 00:18:56.259
 bloodshed

00:18:56.259 --> 00:18:58.119
 greed

00:18:58.119 --> 00:18:59.839
 oppression

00:18:59.839 --> 00:19:02.359
 idolatry

00:19:02.359 --> 00:19:04.759
 covetousness

00:19:04.759 --> 00:19:06.480
 sexual

00:19:06.480 --> 00:19:07.039
 impurity

00:19:07.039 --> 00:19:07.220
 and

00:19:07.220 --> 00:19:08.000
 unfaithfulness

00:19:08.000 --> 00:19:09.879
 deceitfulness

00:19:09.879 --> 00:19:11.459
 theft

00:19:11.459 --> 00:19:13.899
 disloyalty

00:19:13.899 --> 00:19:15.839
 faithlessness

00:19:15.839 --> 00:19:16.980
 lies

00:19:16.980 --> 00:19:18.059
 slander

00:19:18.059 --> 00:19:19.179
 and on

00:19:19.179 --> 00:19:19.480
 and on

00:19:19.480 --> 00:19:19.779
 and on

00:19:19.779 --> 00:19:20.159
 it went

00:19:20.159 --> 00:19:20.980
 until finally

00:19:20.980 --> 00:19:21.480
 the Lord

00:19:21.480 --> 00:19:22.139
 did what

00:19:22.139 --> 00:19:22.839
 needed to

00:19:22.839 --> 00:19:23.299
 be done

00:19:23.299 --> 00:19:25.139
 and destroyed

00:19:25.139 --> 00:19:25.839
 his vineyard

00:19:25.839 --> 00:19:27.579
 if you know

00:19:27.579 --> 00:19:28.099
 the story

00:19:28.099 --> 00:19:28.659
 from the

00:19:28.659 --> 00:19:29.019
 scriptures

00:19:29.019 --> 00:19:30.059
 he brought

00:19:30.059 --> 00:19:30.839
 the Assyrians

00:19:30.839 --> 00:19:31.639
 and the

00:19:31.639 --> 00:19:32.299
 Babylonians

00:19:32.299 --> 00:19:33.199
 against Israel

00:19:33.199 --> 00:19:33.779
 and laid

00:19:33.779 --> 00:19:34.139
 waste

00:19:34.139 --> 00:19:34.759
 his land

00:19:34.759 --> 00:19:35.959
 the survivors

00:19:35.959 --> 00:19:36.539
 went into

00:19:36.539 --> 00:19:37.099
 exile

00:19:37.099 --> 00:19:37.879
 and were

00:19:37.879 --> 00:19:38.240
 scattered

00:19:38.240 --> 00:19:38.819
 through these

00:19:38.819 --> 00:19:39.379
 empires

00:19:39.379 --> 00:19:40.379
 and no

00:19:40.379 --> 00:19:40.959
 longer was

00:19:40.959 --> 00:19:41.500
 Israel a

00:19:41.500 --> 00:19:41.859
 nation

00:19:41.859 --> 00:19:43.119
 like it

00:19:43.119 --> 00:19:43.619
 had been

00:19:43.619 --> 00:19:47.179
 but because

00:19:47.179 --> 00:19:47.859
 God

00:19:47.859 --> 00:19:49.199
 is merciful

00:19:49.199 --> 00:19:51.019
 that was

00:19:51.019 --> 00:19:51.439
 not the

00:19:51.439 --> 00:19:51.779
 end of

00:19:51.779 --> 00:19:52.299
 Israel's

00:19:52.299 --> 00:19:52.639

00:19:52.640 --> 00:19:54.060
 God

00:19:54.060 --> 00:19:54.420
 spoke

00:19:54.420 --> 00:19:54.800
 again

00:19:54.800 --> 00:19:55.340
 through

00:19:58.460 --> 00:19:58.860

00:19:59.420 --> 00:19:59.880
 Israel

00:19:59.880 --> 00:20:00.300
 would

 a

00:23:43.519 --> 00:23:44.960
 and much

00:23:44.960 --> 00:23:45.319
 more

00:23:45.319 --> 00:23:47.599
 there's a

00:23:47.599 --> 00:23:47.859
 massive

00:23:47.859 --> 00:23:48.500
 contrast

00:23:48.500 --> 00:23:48.819
 here

00:23:48.819 --> 00:23:49.720
 think about

00:23:49.720 --> 00:23:50.119
 this

00:23:50.119 --> 00:23:51.639
 the

00:23:51.639 --> 00:23:52.000
 difference

00:23:52.000 --> 00:23:52.339
 in the

00:23:52.339 --> 00:23:52.599
 fruit

00:23:52.599 --> 00:23:53.879
 where does

00:23:53.879 --> 00:23:54.179
 it come

00:23:54.179 --> 00:23:54.500
 from

00:23:54.500 --> 00:23:56.200
 how come

00:23:56.200 --> 00:23:56.539
 it's not

00:23:56.539 --> 00:23:56.740
 going to

00:23:56.740 --> 00:23:57.019
 be a

00:23:57.019 --> 00:23:57.339
 repeat

00:23:57.339 --> 00:23:57.759
 of what

00:23:57.759 --> 00:23:58.099
 happened

00:23:58.099 --> 00:23:58.380
 in the

00:23:58.380 --> 00:23:58.720
 past

00:23:58.720 --> 00:23:59.140
 when God

00:23:59.140 --> 00:23:59.420
 looked

00:23:59.420 --> 00:23:59.720
 and there

00:23:59.720 --> 00:24:00.099
 was only

00:24:00.099 --> 00:24:00.380
 bad

00:24:00.380 --> 00:24:00.740
 fruit

00:24:00.740 --> 00:24:02.680
 because it's

00:24:02.680 --> 00:24:03.299
 the true

00:24:03.299 --> 00:24:03.720
 vine

00:24:03.720 --> 00:24:05.180
 that has

00:24:05.180 --> 00:24:05.779
 been planted

00:24:05.779 --> 00:24:06.619
 now

00:24:06.619 --> 00:24:07.440
 in the

00:24:07.440 --> 00:24:07.859
 vineyard

00:24:07.859 --> 00:24:08.459
 fruit

00:24:08.459 --> 00:24:09.439
 and this

00:24:09.439 --> 00:24:09.859
 vine

00:24:09.859 --> 00:24:10.719
 Jesus

00:24:10.719 --> 00:24:11.539
 makes

00:24:11.539 --> 00:24:11.899
 all

00:24:11.899 --> 00:24:12.119
 the

00:24:13.679 --> 00:24:15.219
 all of

00:24:15.219 --> 00:24:15.379
 these

00:24:15.379 --> 00:24:15.599
 good

00:24:15.599 --> 00:24:15.879
 things

00:24:15.879 --> 00:24:16.179
 come

00:24:16.179 --> 00:24:16.379
 not

00:24:16.379 --> 00:24:16.699
 because

00:24:16.699 --> 00:24:17.019
 we're

00:24:17.019 --> 00:24:17.519
 such

00:24:17.519 --> 00:24:17.839
 good

00:24:17.839 --> 00:24:18.319
 branches

00:24:18.319 --> 00:24:19.919
 but

00:24:19.919 --> 00:24:20.219
 because

00:24:20.219 --> 00:24:20.599
 we are

00:24:20.599 --> 00:24:21.079
 branches

00:24:21.079 --> 00:24:21.859
 enjoined

00:24:21.859 --> 00:24:22.179

00:24:22.179 --> 00:24:22.439
 the

00:24:23.059 --> 00:24:24.659

00:24:24.659 --> 00:24:27.019

00:24:27.019 --> 00:24:27.319
 this

00:24:27.319 --> 00:24:28.000
 sets

00:24:28.000 --> 00:24:28.559
 the stage

00:24:28.559 --> 00:24:28.779
 here

 for us

00:24:29.219 --> 00:24:29.419
 there

00:24:29.419 --> 00:24:29.699

00:26:06.019 --> 00:26:06.340

00:26:06.340 --> 00:26:08.380
 but

00:26:08.380 --> 00:26:08.500
 if

00:26:08.500 --> 00:26:08.620
 the

00:26:09.660 --> 00:26:09.840
 to

00:26:09.840 --> 00:26:10.019
 look

00:26:10.019 --> 00:26:10.640
 diseased

00:26:10.640 --> 00:26:11.259

00:26:11.560 --> 00:26:12.080
 rotting

00:26:12.080 --> 00:26:13.019
 well

00:26:13.019 --> 00:26:13.240
 that's

00:26:13.240 --> 00:26:13.360
 a

00:26:13.360 --> 00:26:13.740
 problem

00:26:13.740 --> 00:26:15.539
 and

 every

 be

00:26:16.700 --> 00:26:17.080

00:26:18.680 --> 00:26:19.360
 primary

00:26:19.360 --> 00:26:21.100
 it's

00:26:23.720 --> 00:26:24.100
 they're

00:26:24.100 --> 00:26:24.580
 secondary

00:26:24.580 --> 00:26:24.980
 they're

00:26:29.779 --> 00:26:29.880
 know

00:26:29.880 --> 00:26:30.100
 as I

00:26:30.100 --> 00:26:30.240
 was

00:26:30.240 --> 00:26:30.460
 thinking

00:26:30.460 --> 00:26:30.740
 about

00:26:30.740 --> 00:26:30.980
 this

00:26:30.980 --> 00:26:31.220
 this

00:26:31.220 --> 00:26:31.440
 week

00:26:31.440 --> 00:26:31.559
 I

00:26:31.559 --> 00:26:31.740
 just

00:26:31.740 --> 00:26:32.039
 started

00:26:32.039 --> 00:26:32.519
 wondering

00:26:32.519 --> 00:26:34.440
 do we

00:26:34.440 --> 00:26:34.940
 sometimes

00:26:34.940 --> 00:26:35.240
 just

00:26:35.240 --> 00:26:35.819
 get this

00:26:35.819 --> 00:26:36.880
 backwards

00:26:36.880 --> 00:26:38.920
 do we

00:26:38.920 --> 00:26:39.120
 see

00:26:39.120 --> 00:26:39.720
 ourselves

00:26:39.720 --> 00:26:41.059
 as the

00:26:41.059 --> 00:26:41.319
 main

00:26:41.319 --> 00:26:41.660
 shoot

00:26:41.660 --> 00:26:43.380
 and

00:26:43.380 --> 00:26:43.700
 Jesus

00:26:43.700 --> 00:26:44.140
 as

00:26:44.140 --> 00:26:45.740
 a

00:26:45.740 --> 00:26:46.120
 secondary

00:26:46.120 --> 00:26:46.640
 branch

00:26:46.640 --> 00:26:46.920
 in our

00:26:46.920 --> 00:26:47.319
 life

00:26:47.319 --> 00:26:49.640
 maybe a

00:26:49.640 --> 00:26:49.819
 really

00:26:49.819 --> 00:26:50.279
 important

00:26:50.279 --> 00:26:50.620
 one

00:26:50.620 --> 00:26:50.980
 on which

00:26:50.980 --> 00:26:51.299
 a lot

00:26:51.299 --> 00:26:51.759
 hangs

00:26:51.759 --> 00:26:52.360
 but

00:26:52.360 --> 00:26:52.759
 I'm

00:26:52.759 --> 00:26:52.920
 the

00:26:52.920 --> 00:26:53.160
 main

00:26:53.160 --> 00:26:53.420

00:26:53.420 --> 00:26:53.620
 and

00:26:53.620 --> 00:26:54.620
 he's

00:26:54.620 --> 00:26:54.759
 just

00:26:54.759 --> 00:26:54.960
 a

00:26:54.960 --> 00:26:55.380
 branch

00:26:55.380 --> 00:26:56.400
 in my

00:26:56.400 --> 00:26:56.819
 life

00:26:56.819 --> 00:26:59.240
 I

00:26:59.240 --> 00:26:59.359
 want

00:26:59.359 --> 00:26:59.439
 to

00:26:59.439 --> 00:26:59.839
 challenge

00:26:59.839 --> 00:26:59.960
 you

00:26:59.960 --> 00:27:00.099
 to

00:27:00.099 --> 00:27:00.379
 ask

00:27:00.379 --> 00:27:00.740
 yourself

00:27:00.740 --> 00:27:00.980
 this

00:27:00.980 --> 00:27:01.439
 question

00:27:01.439 --> 00:27:03.019
 is

00:27:03.019 --> 00:27:03.159
 that

00:27:03.159 --> 00:27:03.299
 how

00:27:03.299 --> 00:27:03.460
 I've

00:27:03.460 --> 00:27:03.579
 been

00:27:03.579 --> 00:27:03.879
 living

00:27:03.879 --> 00:27:06.559
 does

00:27:06.559 --> 00:27:06.679
 it

00:27:06.679 --> 00:27:06.859
 all

00:27:06.859 --> 00:27:07.259
 center

00:27:07.259 --> 00:27:07.579
 really

00:27:07.579 --> 00:27:07.899
 around

00:27:07.899 --> 00:27:08.319
 me

00:27:08.319 --> 00:27:09.240
 and

00:27:09.240 --> 00:27:09.439
 yeah

00:27:09.439 --> 00:27:09.759
 Jesus

00:27:09.759 --> 00:27:09.980
 is

00:27:09.980 --> 00:27:10.119
 a

00:27:10.119 --> 00:27:10.319
 part

00:27:10.319 --> 00:27:10.460
 of

00:27:10.460 --> 00:27:10.619
 my

00:27:10.619 --> 00:27:11.019
 life

00:27:11.019 --> 00:27:14.200
 and

00:27:14.200 --> 00:27:14.319
 if

00:27:14.319 --> 00:27:14.660
 so

00:27:14.660 --> 00:27:15.779
 is

00:27:15.779 --> 00:27:15.920
 it

00:27:15.920 --> 00:27:16.400
 possible

00:27:16.400 --> 00:27:17.920
 that

00:27:17.920 --> 00:27:18.180
 that's

00:27:18.180 --> 00:27:18.400
 why

00:27:18.400 --> 00:27:18.639
 maybe

00:27:18.639 --> 00:27:18.960
 things

00:27:18.960 --> 00:27:19.139
 aren't

00:27:19.139 --> 00:27:19.400
 going

00:27:19.400 --> 00:27:19.680
 well

00:27:19.680 --> 00:27:19.819
 or

00:27:19.819 --> 00:27:20.059
 maybe

00:27:20.059 --> 00:27:20.299
 aren't

00:27:20.299 --> 00:27:20.720
 working

00:27:20.720 --> 00:27:21.480
 because

00:27:21.480 --> 00:27:21.599
 I've

00:27:21.599 --> 00:27:21.759
 got

00:27:21.759 --> 00:27:21.960
 this

00:27:21.960 --> 00:27:22.539
 backwards

00:27:22.539 --> 00:27:24.639
 I'm

00:27:24.639 --> 00:27:24.819
 seeing

00:27:24.819 --> 00:27:25.420
 myself

00:27:25.420 --> 00:27:25.740
 and

00:27:25.740 --> 00:27:26.299
 my

00:27:26.299 --> 00:27:26.639
 life

00:27:26.639 --> 00:27:26.799
 as

00:27:26.799 --> 00:27:26.940
 the

00:27:26.940 --> 00:27:27.139
 main

00:27:27.139 --> 00:27:27.420
 thing

00:27:27.420 --> 00:27:27.599
 and

00:27:27.599 --> 00:27:27.920
 Jesus

00:27:27.920 --> 00:27:28.240
 is

00:27:28.240 --> 00:27:28.940
 kind

00:27:28.940 --> 00:27:29.019
 of

00:27:29.019 --> 00:27:29.180
 the

00:27:29.180 --> 00:27:29.579
 secondary

00:27:29.579 --> 00:27:30.139
 thing

00:27:30.139 --> 00:27:31.759
 something

00:27:31.759 --> 00:27:31.980
 to

00:27:31.980 --> 00:27:32.200
 think

00:27:32.200 --> 00:27:32.519
 about

00:27:32.519 --> 00:27:35.059
 Jesus

00:27:35.059 --> 00:27:35.379
 really

00:27:35.379 --> 00:27:35.839
 drives

00:27:35.839 --> 00:27:36.220
 this

00:27:36.220 --> 00:27:37.519
 home

00:27:37.519 --> 00:27:37.779
 in

 four

00:27:38.660 --> 00:27:38.819
 to

00:27:38.819 --> 00:27:39.220
 six

00:27:39.220 --> 00:27:40.880
 just

00:27:40.880 --> 00:27:41.059
 how

00:27:41.059 --> 00:27:41.519
 dependent

00:27:41.519 --> 00:27:41.819
 we

00:30:17.200 --> 00:30:17.380
 be

00:30:17.380 --> 00:30:17.680
 as

 a

00:30:17.900 --> 00:30:18.180
 dead

 ground

00:30:19.980 --> 00:30:20.860
 by

00:30:20.860 --> 00:30:21.319
 itself

00:30:21.319 --> 00:30:21.740
 you'll

00:31:07.880 --> 00:31:08.060
 there's

00:31:08.060 --> 00:31:08.180
 a

00:31:08.180 --> 00:31:08.580
 promise

00:31:08.580 --> 00:31:09.380
 if

00:31:09.380 --> 00:31:09.519
 you

 you

 I'm

00:31:21.100 --> 00:31:21.279
