00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.560
 Good morning.

00:00:10.880 --> 00:00:11.960
 It's a pleasure to be with you all here this morning.

00:00:11.960 --> 00:00:12.880
! It's a pleasure to be with you all here this morning.

00:00:12.880 --> 00:00:19.260
 Before we left, I had several members of our church ask where we were going to be this

00:00:19.260 --> 00:00:24.820
 weekend, and I said, we're going down to Parker, Colorado to preach to a congregation down

00:00:24.820 --> 00:00:25.080
 there.

00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:29.740
 And they said, well, why are you going down there?

00:00:29.780 --> 00:00:30.480
 Do you know the pastor?

00:00:30.719 --> 00:00:32.060
 I said, no, never met him before.

00:00:33.120 --> 00:00:34.359
 Oh, do you know somebody in church?

00:00:34.759 --> 00:00:36.140
 No, never met any of them before.

00:00:37.160 --> 00:00:38.480
 They go, well, why are you going down there?

00:00:38.500 --> 00:00:39.840
 I said, they need somebody to come preach.

00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:41.359
 I'm going to go down and help the brothers out.

00:00:41.359 --> 00:00:44.200
 And they go, yeah, but how do you even know about these people?

00:00:44.859 --> 00:00:48.420
 I said, oh, I said, they're getting ready to join the association we've just become a

00:00:48.420 --> 00:00:48.840
 part of.

00:00:49.379 --> 00:00:53.780
 And this is one of the blessings of being part of an association of churches, that we can

00:00:53.780 --> 00:01:01.760
 come alongside one another, we can support one another, and bless one another's ministries

00:01:01.760 --> 00:01:04.900
 through helping the brothers out like this.

00:01:04.960 --> 00:01:06.460
 So it is a pleasure to be here.

00:01:07.700 --> 00:01:10.359
 Tanya and I arrived last night, spent the evening with the Gladdings.

00:01:10.359 --> 00:01:13.420
 I kind of got somewhat familiar with the church through that.

00:01:13.480 --> 00:01:17.519
 And then this morning found out I had met some of you before at last year's GA, but I met

00:01:17.519 --> 00:01:19.500
 so many new people there I didn't remember it.

00:01:19.620 --> 00:01:22.939
 So it is a blessing for us to be here.

00:01:24.060 --> 00:01:30.859
 I had a unique experience already this morning in the discussion about today's passage.

00:01:30.859 --> 00:01:37.359
 As I was just listening to everyone discuss it, I found myself being encouraged by the passage.

00:01:37.579 --> 00:01:42.319
 I'm about ready to preach to people, hoping to encourage them with it.

00:01:42.700 --> 00:01:44.359
 And I haven't even preached it yet.

00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:49.620
 So it made me look, it made me all the more eager to bring this message to you today.

00:01:49.620 --> 00:01:55.579
 So I also have to bring greetings from the people at Trinity Bible Church.

00:01:57.079 --> 00:02:03.180
 And we are looking forward to a closer association with you through this association of churches

00:02:03.180 --> 00:02:04.480
 and getting to know all of you.

00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:08.960
 So if you would open your Bibles to John chapter 15.

00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:13.620
 And we're going to be reading verses 1 through 8 here.

00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:21.640
 This is a very familiar illustration that Jesus uses, one that's very well known.

00:02:22.280 --> 00:02:29.480
 Sometimes when we come to a familiar ground like that, familiarity sometimes can impede our

00:02:29.480 --> 00:02:31.060
 ability to understand it.

00:02:31.640 --> 00:02:35.879
 So let us come to this looking at it afresh this morning.

00:02:35.879 --> 00:02:38.400
 John chapter 15 verses 1 through 8.

00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:40.320
 This is Jesus speaking.

00:02:41.140 --> 00:02:45.080
 I am the true vine and my father is the vine dresser.

00:02:45.900 --> 00:02:49.659
 Every branch in me that does not bear fruit, he takes away.

00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:55.020
 And every branch that bears fruit, he prunes it that it may bear more fruit.

00:02:56.060 --> 00:03:00.240
 You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.

00:03:01.100 --> 00:03:03.120
 Abide in me and I in you.

00:03:03.319 --> 00:03:07.420
 As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine,

00:03:07.419 --> 00:03:10.839
 so neither can you unless you abide in me.

00:03:11.439 --> 00:03:13.979
 I am the vine, you are the branches.

00:03:14.739 --> 00:03:18.539
 He who abides in me and I in him, he bears much fruit.

00:03:19.099 --> 00:03:21.019
 For apart from me you can do nothing.

00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:28.199
 If anyone does not abide in me, he is thrown away as a branch and dries up and they gather

00:03:28.199 --> 00:03:31.759
 them and cast them into the fire and they are burned.

00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:39.139
 If you abide in me and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish and it shall be done for you.

00:03:40.039 --> 00:03:47.939
 By this is my father glorified that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples.

00:03:47.939 --> 00:03:59.520
 Let me ask you, if you knew your death was imminent,

00:04:00.359 --> 00:04:06.460
 what would you want to say to those closest to you?

00:04:06.460 --> 00:04:12.860
 I mean, typically we don't know when our time is going to come.

00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:18.879
 But occasionally, in God's providence, we do.

00:04:20.480 --> 00:04:26.620
 You get that diagnosis of the deadly disease that there's nothing they can do to treat it

00:04:26.620 --> 00:04:28.980
 and there's weeks to live or months to live.

00:04:28.980 --> 00:04:36.300
 And if you were in that position, what would you want to say to those closest to you?

00:04:38.620 --> 00:04:41.840
 You know, would you want to express your love for them?

00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:44.680
 Would you want to give them words of encouragement?

00:04:45.080 --> 00:04:47.500
 Would you want to provide them words of guidance?

00:04:48.100 --> 00:04:50.379
 Would you want to exhort them in any way?

00:04:50.379 --> 00:04:55.900
 Is there any important things or truths you'd want to remind them of?

00:04:58.980 --> 00:05:06.439
 And what we have to realize is that in the section in which our passage lies,

00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:09.100
 that's exactly what is happening.

00:05:10.360 --> 00:05:16.920
 John 13 through John 17 is Jesus' last discourse with his disciples,

00:05:17.520 --> 00:05:19.259
 those closest to him.

00:05:20.340 --> 00:05:22.759
 This very evening he will be betrayed.

00:05:22.759 --> 00:05:26.140
 Within 24 hours he will be in the grave.

00:05:28.980 --> 00:05:39.200
 And so these are the things that he wants to speak to them to equip them for their apostolic ministry.

00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:42.520
 This is the capstone to three years of discipleship.

00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:49.720
 In this discourse, in these five chapters from John 13 to John 17.

00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:56.640
 And what we see here is he begins with laying a foundation of humility by washing their feet.

00:05:57.420 --> 00:06:01.720
 Then he provides them with sustaining grace in the establishment of the Lord's Supper.

00:06:02.440 --> 00:06:07.600
 And then he shows them the means by which they will accomplish their apostolic is love.

00:06:07.980 --> 00:06:11.280
 But love in a way that they never understood it before.

00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:18.199
 You see, under the law, love was, love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength,

00:06:18.239 --> 00:06:19.779
 and your neighbor as yourself.

00:06:20.899 --> 00:06:22.819
 And they are still to love in that way.

00:06:23.259 --> 00:06:27.079
 But he's now giving them command of a new love, a new kind of love,

00:06:27.619 --> 00:06:29.519
 oriented towards the brethren.

00:06:31.139 --> 00:06:35.699
 That they are to love the brethren like he has loved them.

00:06:35.699 --> 00:06:44.360
 He then goes on to exhort them to believe in him, that he and the Father are one.

00:06:45.259 --> 00:06:48.920
 And to exhort them to do the works that he has done.

00:06:49.779 --> 00:06:56.719
 He gives them the encouragement that he's sending them a helper, the Holy Spirit.

00:06:57.519 --> 00:07:03.860
 He's giving them encouragement in that he goes to prepare a place for them and will come for them.

00:07:03.860 --> 00:07:07.939
 And then we come to this passage in John 15.

00:07:08.699 --> 00:07:14.819
 And right in the absolute center of this discourse is our passage today.

00:07:17.259 --> 00:07:26.220
 And in this, he's calling them to abide in him as he abides in them and to bear fruit to the glory of the Father.

00:07:27.020 --> 00:07:30.860
 And then he's going to go on and promise them the coming of the Holy Spirit.

00:07:30.860 --> 00:07:37.180
 He's going to forewarn them that he will die and be resurrected so this isn't some surprise to them.

00:07:37.840 --> 00:07:41.460
 And then in John 17, he wraps it up by praying for them.

00:07:42.259 --> 00:07:44.939
 And we also have to see he's praying for us as well.

00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:49.160
 Because he prays for all those who will believe in him through their word.

00:07:49.160 --> 00:08:01.960
 And what we see here are these intertwining themes of humility and faith and love and grace and abiding in Christ

00:08:01.960 --> 00:08:08.180
 and depending upon the Spirit and prayer and bearing fruit to the glory of God.

00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:12.120
 And all of these are essential to the Christian life.

00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:16.960
 All of these are essential for us to live a fruitful life to the glory of God.

00:08:16.959 --> 00:08:28.219
 But because today we're going to be taking a very narrow look at one little piece of this,

00:08:28.500 --> 00:08:38.000
 it's possible we could miss out on all of these rich themes that are interwoven in this larger discourse.

00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:47.820
 For instance, we're not going to delve into making the connection between abiding in Christ, love, and our obedience.

00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:50.320
 And yet it's all here.

00:08:50.320 --> 00:09:02.840
 So I just wanted to lay that broader foundation of this context because it forms a very rich tapestry for us.

00:09:03.180 --> 00:09:09.060
 And we're going to be diving into that and looking at one very narrow piece.

00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:13.340
 And part of the thing that encouraged me this morning in listening to your discussion

00:09:13.340 --> 00:09:19.519
 was hearing some of you pick up on these broader themes and pull them into the discussion.

00:09:19.519 --> 00:09:30.559
 So we are going to be looking at this narrow focus of bearing fruit in the Christian life.

00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:39.379
 And let me start right out by saying our context here is not bearing fruit as the instrumental cause

00:09:39.379 --> 00:09:44.939
 of our salvation, our sanctification, our perseverance, or our glorification.

00:09:44.940 --> 00:09:51.380
 The instrumental cause for all of that is the person and work of Jesus Christ alone.

00:09:52.020 --> 00:09:54.620
 I will say that repeatedly before I'm done today.

00:09:57.820 --> 00:10:07.340
 But what we have to do understand is the fruit we bear in life is the manifested evidence of a soul united to Christ

00:10:07.340 --> 00:10:11.720
 enjoying the benefits of redemption that Christ has purchased for us.

00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:18.180
 See, it's only by His empowering grace that we can live a life of faithful fruit bearing

00:10:18.180 --> 00:10:26.420
 that glorifies God, honors our Lord Jesus Christ, edifies our brethren, is a testimony to the lost,

00:10:26.800 --> 00:10:31.940
 and constitutes a life of blessing for redeemed sinners.

00:10:32.899 --> 00:10:35.560
 And so we're going to look at it today under three headings.

00:10:35.639 --> 00:10:37.139
 Those three headings are in your handout.

00:10:37.139 --> 00:10:40.500
 We're going to see in verses one through three God's design.

00:10:41.360 --> 00:10:44.799
 In verses four and five we're going to see our dependence upon Christ.

00:10:45.220 --> 00:10:51.100
 And in verses six through eight I just labeled it our discipleship to keep with my dealliteration.

00:10:51.279 --> 00:10:53.779
 It's not really a good title but you'll see when we get there.

00:10:54.899 --> 00:10:58.679
 So first, this divine design in verses one through three.

00:10:58.679 --> 00:11:09.079
 Now, let me start by saying this illustration of a vineyard Jesus is using to make His point

00:11:09.079 --> 00:11:19.479
 absolutely highlights God's creative and redemptive design that His image bearers are to bear fruit

00:11:19.479 --> 00:11:21.219
 to the glory of His name.

00:11:21.539 --> 00:11:24.259
 This is from Genesis to Revelation.

00:11:24.259 --> 00:11:31.639
 In Genesis 1.28, God's creation command was for Adam as mankind's federal head

00:11:31.639 --> 00:11:37.179
 to be fruitful and multiply and exercise dominion over the earth.

00:11:37.960 --> 00:11:44.600
 Adam was to bear fruit by extending the Garden of Eden to cover the whole earth

00:11:44.600 --> 00:11:47.939
 and to fill creation with God's worshipers.

00:11:50.519 --> 00:11:52.059
 Adam fell into sin.

00:11:52.059 --> 00:11:55.679
 Adam failed to fulfill God's design for him.

00:11:56.500 --> 00:11:58.839
 And Adam was cast out of God's presence.

00:12:00.819 --> 00:12:06.079
 But you see, this was also God's design for Israel as the corporate Adam.

00:12:06.419 --> 00:12:08.639
 We read that in Psalm 80 this morning.

00:12:09.479 --> 00:12:14.059
 The people of God who are there described as a vine taken from Egypt

00:12:14.059 --> 00:12:16.579
 and planted in the promised land.

00:12:16.580 --> 00:12:22.540
 And yet God speaking through the prophet Jeremiah in chapter 2 verse 21 says,

00:12:23.060 --> 00:12:28.280
 Yet I planted you a choice vine, a completely faithful seed.

00:12:29.000 --> 00:12:36.240
 How then have you turned yourself before me into the degenerate shoots of a foreign vine?

00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:40.080
 See, Israel too failed as well.

00:12:40.080 --> 00:12:43.060
 They failed to bear fruit to the glory of God.

00:12:43.060 --> 00:12:45.940
 And they were taken away into exile.

00:12:47.080 --> 00:12:49.980
 And yet in Isaiah 27 verses 2 through 6,

00:12:50.540 --> 00:12:58.580
 God does proclaim that a day will come when Israel will take root and blossom

00:12:58.580 --> 00:13:01.520
 and fill the whole earth with fruit.

00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:06.220
 And we have the fulfillment of that now in John 15 verse 1.

00:13:06.539 --> 00:13:09.679
 Because now comes Messiah saying,

00:13:10.399 --> 00:13:13.240
 I am the true vine.

00:13:14.519 --> 00:13:22.139
 First, he is asserting his deity as the divine son by invoking the divine I am.

00:13:22.139 --> 00:13:26.980
 And he is proclaiming that as the divine son,

00:13:27.519 --> 00:13:31.899
 he is this choice vine sent forth by his father,

00:13:32.360 --> 00:13:34.139
 planted in his humanity.

00:13:34.699 --> 00:13:38.159
 And the father is the vine dresser who cares for him,

00:13:38.439 --> 00:13:40.720
 who is nurturing him in his human growth

00:13:40.720 --> 00:13:43.879
 so that he grew in stature before God and man.

00:13:44.419 --> 00:13:48.659
 Nurturing him by pouring out his spirit upon his humanity,

00:13:48.659 --> 00:13:55.259
 equipping him for his redemptive work as our mediator and our redeemer,

00:13:55.699 --> 00:13:58.620
 and that he would do all the father's will.

00:13:59.339 --> 00:14:01.839
 And now the time has come.

00:14:02.620 --> 00:14:05.839
 The time is at hand for him to glorify the father

00:14:05.839 --> 00:14:09.959
 in his sacrificial atoning death and his glorious resurrection.

00:14:11.240 --> 00:14:14.120
 You see, Jesus has bore the fruit

00:14:14.120 --> 00:14:17.679
 that Adam and Israel failed to bear.

00:14:17.679 --> 00:14:22.339
 Jesus has fulfilled the covenant of works,

00:14:23.059 --> 00:14:24.679
 bearing the fruit of righteousness

00:14:24.679 --> 00:14:28.199
 in his own personal, perfect,

00:14:28.719 --> 00:14:31.559
 and perpetual obedience to the law of God.

00:14:32.579 --> 00:14:36.819
 And he will now fulfill God's creative and redemptive purposes

00:14:36.819 --> 00:14:39.239
 in his death and resurrection

00:14:39.239 --> 00:14:43.779
 that all those who are united to him by faith in the new birth

00:14:43.779 --> 00:14:47.039
 may bear the fruit of righteousness in him.

00:14:47.679 --> 00:14:52.599
 And within this fruit-bearing design,

00:14:53.059 --> 00:14:56.539
 we also see a divine discrimination in verse 2.

00:14:58.139 --> 00:14:58.879
 He says,

00:14:59.000 --> 00:15:01.959
 Every branch in me that does not bear fruit, he takes away.

00:15:02.319 --> 00:15:04.839
 And every branch that bear fruits, he prunes it,

00:15:05.059 --> 00:15:06.419
 that it may bear more fruit.

00:15:06.419 --> 00:15:08.819
 So you see, there's two kinds of branches.

00:15:09.839 --> 00:15:12.399
 And each of these branches is treated very differently.

00:15:13.860 --> 00:15:14.959
 And so we have to ask,

00:15:15.059 --> 00:15:18.319
 Who are these branches that do and don't bear fruit?

00:15:19.240 --> 00:15:23.019
 It gets a little tricky because Jesus describes both of them

00:15:23.019 --> 00:15:24.899
 as being in him.

00:15:24.899 --> 00:15:28.319
 So in what way are they in him?

00:15:28.319 --> 00:15:29.199
 Who are they?

00:15:30.059 --> 00:15:34.000
 Now some would say the branch that is in him,

00:15:34.220 --> 00:15:35.539
 not bearing fruit,

00:15:36.100 --> 00:15:38.299
 is the so-called carnal Christian.

00:15:38.959 --> 00:15:41.199
 I don't even know if that term gets used anymore.

00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:43.779
 That's like a 1990s term, I think.

00:15:43.779 --> 00:15:45.839
 I don't hear it anymore.

00:15:46.659 --> 00:15:48.419
 But what it is,

00:15:48.899 --> 00:15:51.659
 is that person who professes to be a Christian,

00:15:52.819 --> 00:15:54.360
 will be present in church,

00:15:54.980 --> 00:15:56.779
 has no fruit in their life,

00:15:57.000 --> 00:15:57.860
 lives like the world.

00:15:59.100 --> 00:16:01.299
 And many times this text was used

00:16:01.299 --> 00:16:03.079
 as an argument to support

00:16:03.079 --> 00:16:05.199
 that they were indeed truly saved.

00:16:05.759 --> 00:16:06.720
 And the argument is,

00:16:06.860 --> 00:16:09.059
 well they're saved because Jesus describes them

00:16:09.059 --> 00:16:09.919
 as being in him,

00:16:09.919 --> 00:16:12.120
 but they just don't have any fruit in their life.

00:16:14.079 --> 00:16:16.039
 However, if we're going to be good theologians,

00:16:16.139 --> 00:16:17.439
 we have to have a good hermeneutic.

00:16:17.799 --> 00:16:19.299
 And that means we need to let the scriptures

00:16:19.299 --> 00:16:20.699
 interpret scripture.

00:16:21.720 --> 00:16:23.699
 And in verse 5, Jesus says,

00:16:24.299 --> 00:16:27.299
 he who abides in him bears much fruit.

00:16:28.399 --> 00:16:29.899
 See, there's a presupposition here

00:16:29.899 --> 00:16:30.939
 of what Jesus is saying.

00:16:32.779 --> 00:16:34.079
 If you abide in Jesus,

00:16:34.419 --> 00:16:35.819
 you will bear fruit.

00:16:37.879 --> 00:16:40.839
 The idea of someone being in union with Christ,

00:16:40.839 --> 00:16:41.839
 not bearing fruit,

00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:44.820
 is absolutely foreign to scripture.

00:16:45.960 --> 00:16:48.740
 And this branch that does not bear fruit in verse 2

00:16:48.740 --> 00:16:50.940
 is described in verse 6

00:16:50.940 --> 00:16:53.580
 as anyone who does not abide in Jesus.

00:16:55.340 --> 00:16:57.879
 You see, this branch that does not bear fruit

00:16:57.879 --> 00:17:01.399
 is one who has never been united to Christ

00:17:01.399 --> 00:17:02.200
 in a new birth,

00:17:02.600 --> 00:17:06.140
 and they are merely an outward professor of religion

00:17:06.140 --> 00:17:07.680
 in the visible church.

00:17:08.360 --> 00:17:11.000
 You see, they appear to be in Christ.

00:17:12.120 --> 00:17:14.920
 That's what's meant by they are in him,

00:17:15.040 --> 00:17:15.759
 in Jesus.

00:17:16.300 --> 00:17:17.440
 They appear to be.

00:17:17.980 --> 00:17:19.460
 They have an outward profession.

00:17:20.620 --> 00:17:24.320
 They are in the assembly of God's people,

00:17:24.520 --> 00:17:25.920
 the visible church,

00:17:26.040 --> 00:17:28.400
 but they are merely an outward professor.

00:17:28.400 --> 00:17:30.220
 They appear to be in Christ,

00:17:30.800 --> 00:17:31.740
 but they are not.

00:17:33.420 --> 00:17:34.200
 And this branch,

00:17:34.360 --> 00:17:35.340
 the vine dresser,

00:17:35.900 --> 00:17:36.620
 takes away.

00:17:37.960 --> 00:17:39.340
 Now, in context,

00:17:40.120 --> 00:17:42.100
 this term translated takes away,

00:17:42.759 --> 00:17:45.180
 it means to be carried away

00:17:45.740 --> 00:17:46.840
 in judgment.

00:17:46.839 --> 00:17:50.980
 Now, in contrast to that

00:17:50.980 --> 00:17:53.059
 is the branch that does bear fruit.

00:17:53.720 --> 00:17:54.799
 You see, that branch,

00:17:54.899 --> 00:17:56.779
 the vine dresser prunes it

00:17:56.779 --> 00:17:59.199
 so that it bears more fruit.

00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:02.259
 And this fruit-bearing branch of verse 2

00:18:02.259 --> 00:18:05.000
 is further described for us in verse 7

00:18:05.000 --> 00:18:07.059
 as those who abide in Christ.

00:18:07.799 --> 00:18:10.099
 This branch is one united to Christ

00:18:10.099 --> 00:18:11.119
 through the new birth

00:18:11.119 --> 00:18:12.980
 and, importantly,

00:18:13.439 --> 00:18:15.500
 is under the vine dresser's care.

00:18:17.500 --> 00:18:19.279
 We do have to ask, though,

00:18:19.819 --> 00:18:21.720
 what is this fruit

00:18:21.720 --> 00:18:24.119
 that those united to Christ

00:18:24.119 --> 00:18:25.139
 are to bear?

00:18:25.939 --> 00:18:26.599
 What is it?

00:18:28.339 --> 00:18:29.899
 Well, I would propose to you

00:18:29.899 --> 00:18:30.919
 it's the same fruit

00:18:30.919 --> 00:18:32.399
 that Jesus brought forth

00:18:32.399 --> 00:18:33.559
 in his humanity.

00:18:34.599 --> 00:18:36.359
 It is the fruit of righteousness.

00:18:36.599 --> 00:18:38.119
 Now, it's a fruit of righteousness

00:18:38.119 --> 00:18:39.119
 that he possessed

00:18:39.119 --> 00:18:40.459
 in his perfect humanity,

00:18:40.879 --> 00:18:42.919
 a righteousness that is native to him,

00:18:43.240 --> 00:18:45.199
 but it is foreign to us

00:18:45.199 --> 00:18:46.199
 as redeemed sinners.

00:18:46.839 --> 00:18:48.919
 It comes from outside us.

00:18:49.559 --> 00:18:51.159
 It is imputed to us

00:18:51.159 --> 00:18:52.939
 that those of us

00:18:52.939 --> 00:18:54.179
 who are united to Christ,

00:18:54.259 --> 00:18:55.199
 we receive this

00:18:55.199 --> 00:18:56.220
 through the inner cleansing,

00:18:56.720 --> 00:18:57.399
 transformation,

00:18:57.939 --> 00:18:59.500
 and indwelling of the Holy Spirit,

00:18:59.500 --> 00:19:03.740
 and that then manifests itself

00:19:03.740 --> 00:19:06.480
 in the bearing of fruit in our life.

00:19:06.480 --> 00:19:10.700
 Now, you might ask the question,

00:19:10.839 --> 00:19:14.019
 what is this spiritual fruit, though?

00:19:14.740 --> 00:19:17.039
 Is it some grand spiritual sacrifice?

00:19:17.980 --> 00:19:19.640
 Is it going off and being a missionary

00:19:19.640 --> 00:19:21.579
 in the jungles of Africa somewhere?

00:19:22.140 --> 00:19:23.819
 Is it being a martyr for the faith?

00:19:24.539 --> 00:19:26.960
 Is it, you know,

00:19:27.019 --> 00:19:30.559
 is it being an evangelist

00:19:30.559 --> 00:19:32.579
 or preaching the gospel?

00:19:33.720 --> 00:19:34.119
 Well, you know,

00:19:34.179 --> 00:19:35.700
 it most certainly could be those things.

00:19:36.419 --> 00:19:37.039
 Could be.

00:19:39.679 --> 00:19:41.220
 But here's what we have to understand.

00:19:42.159 --> 00:19:43.480
 Fruit pleasing to God

00:19:43.480 --> 00:19:45.799
 is anything,

00:19:46.839 --> 00:19:48.419
 and this opens it up,

00:19:48.799 --> 00:19:49.240
 anything

00:19:49.240 --> 00:19:51.119
 that we do

00:19:51.119 --> 00:19:52.899
 out of faith in Christ,

00:19:53.940 --> 00:19:55.159
 according to his word,

00:19:55.160 --> 00:19:57.180
 for the glory of the Father.

00:19:59.460 --> 00:20:01.240
 And as you consider what that is,

00:20:01.680 --> 00:20:02.840
 here's what I want you to think about.

00:20:04.259 --> 00:20:05.180
 The mundane

00:20:05.180 --> 00:20:06.960
 of every day.

00:20:09.360 --> 00:20:11.100
 Because everything you do in this life,

00:20:11.180 --> 00:20:12.500
 from the moment you get out of your bed

00:20:12.500 --> 00:20:12.960
 in the morning

00:20:12.960 --> 00:20:15.140
 to the moment you go to bed at night,

00:20:15.759 --> 00:20:16.759
 is to be done

00:20:16.759 --> 00:20:18.380
 out of faith in Christ,

00:20:19.519 --> 00:20:20.700
 according to his word,

00:20:21.480 --> 00:20:22.640
 for the glory of the Father.

00:20:22.640 --> 00:20:26.880
 That is fruit

00:20:26.880 --> 00:20:29.300
 that is pleasing to God

00:20:29.300 --> 00:20:31.540
 and glorifies the Father.

00:20:33.300 --> 00:20:34.860
 Think about how that applies.

00:20:39.200 --> 00:20:40.620
 Kids, doing your schoolwork.

00:20:42.980 --> 00:20:44.800
 Are you doing it trusting in Christ

00:20:44.800 --> 00:20:46.420
 for the grace to strive,

00:20:46.580 --> 00:20:47.180
 to learn,

00:20:47.500 --> 00:20:48.259
 and study,

00:20:48.720 --> 00:20:49.420
 and whatnot?

00:20:49.880 --> 00:20:50.940
 Are you doing it according

00:20:50.940 --> 00:20:51.700
 to the word of God,

00:20:51.700 --> 00:20:53.160
 or are you cheating on the tests?

00:20:54.140 --> 00:20:55.019
 And are you doing it

00:20:55.019 --> 00:20:56.059
 to see God glorified?

00:20:58.160 --> 00:20:59.019
 When you go to work

00:20:59.019 --> 00:20:59.700
 at your job.

00:21:02.000 --> 00:21:02.460
 I mean,

00:21:02.480 --> 00:21:03.160
 I was convicted

00:21:03.160 --> 00:21:04.140
 of this recently.

00:21:05.100 --> 00:21:05.460
 You know,

00:21:05.519 --> 00:21:06.700
 struggling with getting up

00:21:06.700 --> 00:21:07.420
 to go to work,

00:21:07.860 --> 00:21:09.080
 and then come to realize

00:21:09.080 --> 00:21:09.700
 the one thing

00:21:09.700 --> 00:21:10.500
 I wasn't doing

00:21:10.500 --> 00:21:11.039
 in the morning

00:21:11.039 --> 00:21:12.059
 was saying,

00:21:12.160 --> 00:21:12.259
 Lord,

00:21:12.360 --> 00:21:13.559
 give me the grace

00:21:13.559 --> 00:21:14.440
 to work today.

00:21:15.840 --> 00:21:16.680
 Help me to serve

00:21:16.680 --> 00:21:17.860
 my employer well.

00:21:17.859 --> 00:21:21.339
 And it's just amazing

00:21:21.339 --> 00:21:22.339
 how that fundamentally

00:21:22.339 --> 00:21:23.659
 changes your perspective.

00:21:25.099 --> 00:21:25.339
 I mean,

00:21:25.359 --> 00:21:26.279
 it didn't make the job

00:21:26.279 --> 00:21:26.799
 any different.

00:21:26.959 --> 00:21:27.859
 It didn't make the challenges

00:21:27.859 --> 00:21:28.519
 of the job

00:21:28.519 --> 00:21:29.279
 any different.

00:21:30.779 --> 00:21:31.000
 Okay?

00:21:32.479 --> 00:21:32.919
 Moms,

00:21:33.019 --> 00:21:34.119
 with your children

00:21:34.119 --> 00:21:34.740
 at home,

00:21:34.959 --> 00:21:35.159
 you know,

00:21:35.240 --> 00:21:38.099
 this never-ending

00:21:38.099 --> 00:21:41.119
 role you have

00:21:41.119 --> 00:21:42.979
 of raising your children

00:21:42.979 --> 00:21:44.179
 and nurturing them,

00:21:44.180 --> 00:21:46.080
 and Tanya and Katie

00:21:46.080 --> 00:21:46.700
 were talking about

00:21:46.700 --> 00:21:47.920
 homeschooling last night.

00:21:48.019 --> 00:21:48.600
 We homeschooled

00:21:48.600 --> 00:21:49.140
 our children.

00:21:50.100 --> 00:21:51.860
 And just

00:21:51.860 --> 00:21:53.380
 what can seem

00:21:53.380 --> 00:21:54.460
 to be a grind

00:21:54.460 --> 00:21:57.180
 day in and day out,

00:21:57.320 --> 00:21:58.539
 year in and year out

00:21:58.539 --> 00:21:59.259
 over the life

00:21:59.259 --> 00:21:59.980
 of the child,

00:22:01.299 --> 00:22:02.019
 sometimes when

00:22:02.019 --> 00:22:03.000
 they're not cooperating,

00:22:03.900 --> 00:22:05.580
 and you go,

00:22:05.580 --> 00:22:07.799
 I don't see the point.

00:22:08.820 --> 00:22:09.460
 Understand,

00:22:09.920 --> 00:22:11.160
 persevering in faith

00:22:11.160 --> 00:22:13.920
 that glorifies the Father.

00:22:14.180 --> 00:22:16.440
 So,

00:22:16.519 --> 00:22:17.320
 I want you to think

00:22:17.320 --> 00:22:18.580
 of fruit,

00:22:19.860 --> 00:22:20.640
 bearing fruit

00:22:20.640 --> 00:22:21.299
 in our life

00:22:21.299 --> 00:22:21.799
 and walk

00:22:21.799 --> 00:22:23.060
 that glorifies God.

00:22:24.060 --> 00:22:25.880
 It comes mainly

00:22:25.880 --> 00:22:26.680
 in the mundane

00:22:26.680 --> 00:22:29.160
 of everyday life.

00:22:31.400 --> 00:22:32.720
 And the last thing

00:22:32.720 --> 00:22:33.799
 we see about this

00:22:33.799 --> 00:22:35.720
 design of God's

00:22:35.720 --> 00:22:38.259
 is as we are striving

00:22:38.259 --> 00:22:40.340
 in the flesh

00:22:40.340 --> 00:22:41.560
 and against the flesh

00:22:41.559 --> 00:22:43.619
 to bear fruit

00:22:43.619 --> 00:22:44.259
 to God

00:22:44.259 --> 00:22:46.119
 by faith

00:22:46.119 --> 00:22:47.119
 according to His word

00:22:47.119 --> 00:22:48.299
 and for His glory

00:22:48.299 --> 00:22:49.759
 the whole time

00:22:49.759 --> 00:22:51.039
 the vine dresser

00:22:51.039 --> 00:22:51.779
 is taking care

00:22:51.779 --> 00:22:52.159
 of us.

00:22:53.279 --> 00:22:53.519
 See,

00:22:53.599 --> 00:22:54.619
 there's a divine care

00:22:54.619 --> 00:22:55.500
 for the true branches.

00:22:56.000 --> 00:22:56.599
 We see it here

00:22:56.599 --> 00:22:57.299
 in verse 3.

00:22:57.960 --> 00:22:58.279
 He says,

00:22:58.399 --> 00:22:59.000
 you are already

00:22:59.000 --> 00:23:00.139
 clean because of

00:23:00.139 --> 00:23:00.779
 the word which

00:23:00.779 --> 00:23:01.779
 I have spoken to you.

00:23:02.440 --> 00:23:02.700
 Now,

00:23:02.759 --> 00:23:03.299
 this may seem

00:23:03.299 --> 00:23:03.960
 like an awkward

00:23:03.960 --> 00:23:05.119
 shift in verse 3

00:23:05.119 --> 00:23:06.759
 when Jesus says

00:23:06.759 --> 00:23:07.460
 to His disciples,

00:23:07.619 --> 00:23:08.159
 you are already

00:23:08.159 --> 00:23:08.579
 clean.

00:23:09.079 --> 00:23:09.879
 We've been talking

00:23:09.879 --> 00:23:10.879
 about grapevines

00:23:10.879 --> 00:23:11.799
 and branches

00:23:11.799 --> 00:23:13.199
 and vine dressers

00:23:13.199 --> 00:23:13.980
 and pruning

00:23:13.980 --> 00:23:14.899
 and now there's

00:23:14.899 --> 00:23:15.659
 this shift to

00:23:15.659 --> 00:23:16.859
 you are already

00:23:16.859 --> 00:23:17.339
 clean.

00:23:17.819 --> 00:23:18.599
 And you might be going,

00:23:18.699 --> 00:23:19.539
 did I miss something

00:23:19.539 --> 00:23:19.859
 here?

00:23:20.879 --> 00:23:21.699
 Not really.

00:23:22.579 --> 00:23:23.740
 Once we understand

00:23:23.740 --> 00:23:24.980
 the word translated

00:23:24.980 --> 00:23:26.500
 clean in verse 3

00:23:26.500 --> 00:23:27.919
 is the same word

00:23:27.919 --> 00:23:29.119
 translated prune

00:23:29.119 --> 00:23:30.000
 in verse 2,

00:23:30.379 --> 00:23:30.980
 the connection

00:23:30.980 --> 00:23:31.919
 becomes apparent.

00:23:33.220 --> 00:23:33.500
 See,

00:23:33.579 --> 00:23:34.379
 when you prune

00:23:34.379 --> 00:23:35.000
 a vine,

00:23:35.439 --> 00:23:36.720
 you are cleaning

00:23:36.720 --> 00:23:38.539
 up the dead

00:23:38.539 --> 00:23:39.360
 and fruitless

00:23:39.360 --> 00:23:40.740
 branches that

00:23:40.740 --> 00:23:41.319
 will enable

00:23:41.319 --> 00:23:42.059
 the vine

00:23:42.059 --> 00:23:42.740
 to bear more

00:23:42.740 --> 00:23:43.180
 fruit.

00:23:44.960 --> 00:23:45.360
 Now,

00:23:45.440 --> 00:23:46.120
 my wife is the

00:23:46.120 --> 00:23:46.660
 farmer in the

00:23:46.660 --> 00:23:48.200
 family and we

00:23:48.200 --> 00:23:49.039
 actually have

00:23:49.039 --> 00:23:50.039
 four grapevines

00:23:50.039 --> 00:23:50.700
 at our home

00:23:50.700 --> 00:23:51.799
 along our

00:23:51.799 --> 00:23:52.339
 one boundary

00:23:52.339 --> 00:23:52.759
 fence.

00:23:54.140 --> 00:23:55.600
 And not too

00:23:55.600 --> 00:23:56.200
 long after we

00:23:56.200 --> 00:23:56.519
 had them,

00:23:56.579 --> 00:23:57.240
 she says to me

00:23:57.240 --> 00:23:57.640
 in the fall,

00:23:57.720 --> 00:23:57.980
 I'm going to

00:23:57.980 --> 00:23:58.339
 go out and

00:23:58.339 --> 00:23:58.600
 I'm going to

00:23:58.600 --> 00:23:59.000
 prune the

00:23:59.000 --> 00:23:59.380
 grapes.

00:24:00.319 --> 00:24:00.600
 I'm going,

00:24:01.140 --> 00:24:01.539
 well,

00:24:01.539 --> 00:24:02.019
 what for?

00:24:02.100 --> 00:24:02.579
 Why would you

00:24:02.579 --> 00:24:03.480
 cut perfectly

00:24:03.480 --> 00:24:04.299
 healthy branches

00:24:04.299 --> 00:24:05.100
 off of that?

00:24:05.519 --> 00:24:05.960
 And she said,

00:24:05.960 --> 00:24:06.180
 well,

00:24:06.240 --> 00:24:06.680
 if you do

00:24:06.680 --> 00:24:06.940
 that,

00:24:07.000 --> 00:24:07.400
 they'll produce

00:24:07.400 --> 00:24:08.079
 more grapes.

00:24:08.200 --> 00:24:08.660
 And I'm like,

00:24:09.259 --> 00:24:09.519
 okay,

00:24:09.559 --> 00:24:10.279
 if you say so,

00:24:10.340 --> 00:24:10.819
 I'm not the

00:24:10.819 --> 00:24:11.299
 farmer here.

00:24:12.240 --> 00:24:12.920
 So she goes

00:24:12.920 --> 00:24:13.360
 out and does

00:24:13.360 --> 00:24:13.460
 it.

00:24:13.500 --> 00:24:13.840
 I come out

00:24:13.840 --> 00:24:14.220
 an hour or

00:24:14.220 --> 00:24:14.640
 two later

00:24:14.640 --> 00:24:16.019
 and I swear

00:24:16.019 --> 00:24:16.420
 there were

00:24:16.420 --> 00:24:17.000
 more branches

00:24:17.000 --> 00:24:17.620
 on the ground

00:24:17.620 --> 00:24:18.039
 than there were

00:24:18.039 --> 00:24:18.519
 still on the

00:24:18.519 --> 00:24:18.799
 vine.

00:24:19.140 --> 00:24:19.620
 And my

00:24:19.620 --> 00:24:20.420
 thought was,

00:24:20.960 --> 00:24:21.180
 well,

00:24:21.220 --> 00:24:21.519
 they're not

00:24:21.519 --> 00:24:21.880
 going to make

00:24:21.880 --> 00:24:22.079
 it through

00:24:22.079 --> 00:24:22.420
 the winter.

00:24:23.799 --> 00:24:24.340
 Next year,

00:24:24.420 --> 00:24:24.740
 we had the

00:24:24.740 --> 00:24:25.400
 largest harvest

00:24:25.400 --> 00:24:26.079
 we'd ever had

00:24:26.079 --> 00:24:26.660
 to that point.

00:24:28.140 --> 00:24:28.860
 And we have to

00:24:28.860 --> 00:24:30.039
 understand it is

00:24:30.039 --> 00:24:30.840
 this way with

00:24:30.840 --> 00:24:31.279
 believers.

00:24:32.840 --> 00:24:33.160
 You see,

00:24:33.259 --> 00:24:33.640
 God,

00:24:33.920 --> 00:24:34.720
 by his word

00:24:34.720 --> 00:24:35.680
 and his spirit,

00:24:35.960 --> 00:24:37.319
 is pruning

00:24:37.319 --> 00:24:38.819
 or cleaning

00:24:38.819 --> 00:24:40.180
 us of

00:24:40.180 --> 00:24:41.440
 remaining sin

00:24:41.440 --> 00:24:42.259
 and distractions

00:24:42.259 --> 00:24:43.059
 in our life.

00:24:43.660 --> 00:24:44.160
 He is

00:24:44.160 --> 00:24:45.340
 cutting out

00:24:45.340 --> 00:24:46.680
 those things

00:24:46.680 --> 00:24:47.720
 that inhibit

00:24:47.720 --> 00:24:48.779
 our fruitfulness

00:24:48.779 --> 00:24:49.840
 through the

00:24:49.840 --> 00:24:50.559
 ministry of the

00:24:50.559 --> 00:24:50.860
 word.

00:24:51.640 --> 00:24:51.960
 You see,

00:24:52.059 --> 00:24:52.880
 it's the word

00:24:52.880 --> 00:24:53.960
 that comes

00:24:53.960 --> 00:24:54.759
 and renews

00:24:54.759 --> 00:24:55.559
 our minds

00:24:55.559 --> 00:24:56.799
 through which

00:24:56.799 --> 00:24:57.700
 the spirit

00:24:57.700 --> 00:24:58.600
 then works

00:24:58.600 --> 00:24:59.539
 conviction of

00:24:59.539 --> 00:24:59.980
 sin,

00:25:00.579 --> 00:25:01.240
 conviction of

00:25:01.240 --> 00:25:01.759
 purpose,

00:25:02.240 --> 00:25:02.759
 and conviction

00:25:02.759 --> 00:25:03.460
 of calling

00:25:03.460 --> 00:25:04.160
 in our life.

00:25:04.160 --> 00:25:05.200
 And here's

00:25:05.200 --> 00:25:05.600
 what we have

00:25:05.600 --> 00:25:06.279
 to understand.

00:25:06.620 --> 00:25:07.140
 He doesn't

00:25:07.140 --> 00:25:07.860
 just do this

00:25:07.860 --> 00:25:08.540
 individually.

00:25:09.640 --> 00:25:10.540
 He does do

00:25:10.540 --> 00:25:11.140
 it individually.

00:25:11.779 --> 00:25:12.380
 He does do

00:25:12.380 --> 00:25:12.960
 that as part

00:25:12.960 --> 00:25:13.620
 of his care

00:25:13.620 --> 00:25:14.100
 for each

00:25:14.100 --> 00:25:14.400
 of us

00:25:14.400 --> 00:25:15.140
 of individual

00:25:15.140 --> 00:25:15.600
 branches.

00:25:16.880 --> 00:25:17.600
 But he's

00:25:17.600 --> 00:25:18.120
 also doing

00:25:18.120 --> 00:25:18.540
 this in a

00:25:18.540 --> 00:25:19.279
 corporate sense.

00:25:20.960 --> 00:25:21.140
 Okay?

00:25:22.519 --> 00:25:23.320
 And I think

00:25:23.320 --> 00:25:24.160
 he's speaking

00:25:24.160 --> 00:25:24.580
 of that

00:25:24.580 --> 00:25:25.500
 corporate sense

00:25:25.500 --> 00:25:27.240
 here as well

00:25:27.240 --> 00:25:28.019
 because this

00:25:28.019 --> 00:25:28.720
 is a clear

00:25:28.720 --> 00:25:29.440
 allusion to

00:25:29.440 --> 00:25:29.779
 Jesus'

00:25:30.040 --> 00:25:30.620
 teaching in

00:25:30.620 --> 00:25:31.300
 John 13,

00:25:31.380 --> 00:25:31.720
 8 through

00:25:31.720 --> 00:25:32.519
 10 when

00:25:32.519 --> 00:25:32.920
 he washed

00:25:32.920 --> 00:25:33.460
 the disciples'

00:25:33.680 --> 00:25:33.880
 feet.

00:25:35.100 --> 00:25:35.500
 How did

00:25:35.500 --> 00:25:36.360
 Peter respond

00:25:36.360 --> 00:25:36.920
 when Jesus

00:25:36.920 --> 00:25:37.400
 wanted to

00:25:37.400 --> 00:25:37.860
 wash his

00:25:37.860 --> 00:25:38.180
 feet?

00:25:39.680 --> 00:25:40.180
 He said,

00:25:40.279 --> 00:25:40.500
 no,

00:25:40.620 --> 00:25:40.920
 Lord,

00:25:40.980 --> 00:25:41.319
 will you

00:25:41.319 --> 00:25:42.000
 wash my

00:25:42.000 --> 00:25:42.380
 feet?

00:25:43.600 --> 00:25:44.120
 And what

00:25:44.120 --> 00:25:44.500
 did Jesus

00:25:44.500 --> 00:25:44.940
 say to

00:25:44.940 --> 00:25:45.160
 him?

00:25:45.940 --> 00:25:46.559
 Unless I

00:25:46.559 --> 00:25:46.940
 wash your

00:25:46.940 --> 00:25:47.140
 feet,

00:25:47.200 --> 00:25:47.400
 you have

00:25:47.400 --> 00:25:47.819
 no part

00:25:47.819 --> 00:25:48.180
 in me.

00:25:49.539 --> 00:25:49.799
 His

00:25:49.799 --> 00:25:50.339
 response,

00:25:50.500 --> 00:25:50.660
 well,

00:25:50.880 --> 00:25:51.180
 head to

00:25:51.180 --> 00:25:51.640
 toe then.

00:25:51.740 --> 00:25:51.960
 Give me

00:25:51.960 --> 00:25:52.819
 the entire

00:25:52.819 --> 00:25:53.319
 bath.

00:25:54.339 --> 00:25:54.740
 And again,

00:25:54.819 --> 00:25:55.039
 Jesus'

00:25:55.259 --> 00:25:55.980
 response to

00:25:55.980 --> 00:25:56.640
 him was

00:25:56.640 --> 00:25:57.500
 that he

00:25:57.500 --> 00:25:58.420
 had already

00:25:58.420 --> 00:25:58.839
 been

00:25:58.839 --> 00:25:59.700
 cleansed

00:25:59.700 --> 00:26:00.519
 and all

00:26:00.519 --> 00:26:01.059
 he needed

00:26:01.059 --> 00:26:01.500
 was to

00:26:01.500 --> 00:26:02.019
 have his

00:26:02.019 --> 00:26:02.940
 feet washed

00:26:02.940 --> 00:26:04.180
 indicating our

00:26:04.180 --> 00:26:04.900
 need for an

00:26:04.900 --> 00:26:05.980
 ongoing cleansing

00:26:05.980 --> 00:26:06.579
 of remaining

00:26:06.579 --> 00:26:07.380
 sin in the

00:26:07.380 --> 00:26:08.240
 Christian life.

00:26:09.160 --> 00:26:09.640
 And he

00:26:09.640 --> 00:26:10.240
 told his

00:26:10.240 --> 00:26:10.819
 disciples

00:26:10.819 --> 00:26:12.059
 corporately

00:26:12.059 --> 00:26:12.900
 as a group

00:26:12.900 --> 00:26:13.259
 then,

00:26:13.660 --> 00:26:14.440
 after washing

00:26:14.440 --> 00:26:15.160
 all their

00:26:15.160 --> 00:26:15.640
 feet,

00:26:17.140 --> 00:26:17.819
 he says to

00:26:17.819 --> 00:26:18.099
 them,

00:26:18.640 --> 00:26:19.140
 you are

00:26:19.140 --> 00:26:20.079
 clean,

00:26:20.880 --> 00:26:22.059
 but not

00:26:22.059 --> 00:26:22.759
 all of

00:26:22.759 --> 00:26:22.960
 you.

00:26:24.720 --> 00:26:25.380
 He's

00:26:25.380 --> 00:26:25.940
 referring to

00:26:25.940 --> 00:26:26.380
 Judas.

00:26:28.720 --> 00:26:28.920
 Okay,

00:26:28.920 --> 00:26:29.119
 let's

00:26:29.119 --> 00:26:29.480
 remember,

00:26:29.900 --> 00:26:30.319
 Jesus

00:26:30.319 --> 00:26:31.319
 washed

00:26:31.319 --> 00:26:32.000
 Judas'

00:26:32.000 --> 00:26:33.299
 feet in

00:26:33.299 --> 00:26:34.099
 John 13.

00:26:34.980 --> 00:26:35.439
 By the

00:26:35.439 --> 00:26:35.859
 time we

00:26:35.859 --> 00:26:36.159
 get to

00:26:36.159 --> 00:26:37.139
 John 15,

00:26:37.879 --> 00:26:38.200
 Judas

00:26:38.200 --> 00:26:39.500
 has already

00:26:39.500 --> 00:26:40.139
 gone out

00:26:40.139 --> 00:26:40.700
 to betray

00:26:40.700 --> 00:26:41.220
 Jesus.

00:26:42.339 --> 00:26:42.879
 God

00:26:42.879 --> 00:26:43.859
 had removed

00:26:43.859 --> 00:26:44.700
 Judas from

00:26:44.700 --> 00:26:45.419
 their midst

00:26:45.419 --> 00:26:46.500
 and he

00:26:46.500 --> 00:26:46.899
 has been

00:26:46.899 --> 00:26:47.759
 taken away

00:26:47.759 --> 00:26:48.339
 to eternal

00:26:48.339 --> 00:26:48.799
 judgment.

00:26:50.679 --> 00:26:51.200
 Now,

00:26:51.279 --> 00:26:51.599
 I want you

00:26:51.599 --> 00:26:52.539
 to contrast,

00:26:52.700 --> 00:26:52.859
 though,

00:26:53.059 --> 00:26:53.379
 Judas

00:26:53.379 --> 00:26:54.859
 to Peter.

00:26:56.059 --> 00:26:56.819
 Within a

00:26:56.819 --> 00:26:57.339
 matter of

00:26:57.339 --> 00:26:58.000
 hours,

00:26:58.000 --> 00:26:58.859
 Peter

00:26:58.859 --> 00:26:59.200
 would

00:26:59.200 --> 00:26:59.619
 deny

00:26:59.619 --> 00:27:00.240
 Jesus

00:27:00.240 --> 00:27:00.960
 three

00:27:00.960 --> 00:27:01.519
 times.

00:27:02.660 --> 00:27:02.819
 Yet,

00:27:02.880 --> 00:27:03.059
 Peter

00:27:03.059 --> 00:27:03.460
 was not

00:27:03.460 --> 00:27:03.980
 taken away

00:27:03.980 --> 00:27:04.180
 into

00:27:04.180 --> 00:27:04.599
 judgment.

00:27:06.279 --> 00:27:06.440
 Peter

00:27:06.440 --> 00:27:06.920
 was pruned

00:27:06.920 --> 00:27:07.559
 by God

00:27:07.559 --> 00:27:09.019
 who brought

00:27:09.019 --> 00:27:09.359
 him to

00:27:09.359 --> 00:27:09.819
 repentance

00:27:09.819 --> 00:27:10.859
 and Jesus

00:27:10.859 --> 00:27:11.579
 restored him

00:27:11.579 --> 00:27:11.980
 in John

00:27:11.980 --> 00:27:13.180
 21 to

00:27:13.180 --> 00:27:13.900
 fruitful

00:27:13.900 --> 00:27:15.220
 apostolic

00:27:15.220 --> 00:27:16.200
 ministry.

00:27:17.299 --> 00:27:17.579
 You see,

00:27:17.839 --> 00:27:18.359
 Judas

00:27:18.359 --> 00:27:18.900
 was taken

00:27:18.900 --> 00:27:19.319
 away.

00:27:20.039 --> 00:27:20.299
 Peter

00:27:20.299 --> 00:27:21.019
 was pruned.

00:27:22.400 --> 00:27:22.859
 And this

00:27:22.859 --> 00:27:23.200
 is the

00:27:23.200 --> 00:27:23.920
 vine dresser

00:27:23.920 --> 00:27:24.299
 at work

00:27:24.299 --> 00:27:25.039
 caring for

00:27:25.039 --> 00:27:25.500
 the vine

00:27:25.500 --> 00:27:25.779
 and the

00:27:25.779 --> 00:27:26.159
 branches.

00:27:26.839 --> 00:27:27.139
 So,

00:27:27.220 --> 00:27:27.740
 when Jesus

00:27:27.740 --> 00:27:28.500
 here tells

00:27:28.500 --> 00:27:29.220
 the disciples,

00:27:29.839 --> 00:27:30.279
 you are

00:27:30.279 --> 00:27:30.859
 already

00:27:30.859 --> 00:27:31.399
 clean,

00:27:31.960 --> 00:27:32.460
 this is

00:27:32.460 --> 00:27:32.839
 true of

00:27:32.839 --> 00:27:33.000
 them

00:27:33.000 --> 00:27:33.599
 individually,

00:27:34.059 --> 00:27:34.480
 but it's

00:27:34.480 --> 00:27:34.960
 now also

00:27:34.960 --> 00:27:35.359
 true of

00:27:35.359 --> 00:27:35.500
 them

00:27:35.500 --> 00:27:36.259
 collectively

00:27:36.259 --> 00:27:37.759
 because

00:27:37.759 --> 00:27:38.119
 he's

00:27:38.119 --> 00:27:38.639
 removed

00:27:38.639 --> 00:27:39.500
 the dead

00:27:39.500 --> 00:27:39.899
 branch

00:27:39.899 --> 00:27:40.279
 from their

00:27:40.279 --> 00:27:40.659
 midst.

00:27:41.519 --> 00:27:41.639
 And,

00:27:41.720 --> 00:27:42.139
 brothers and

00:27:42.139 --> 00:27:42.480
 sisters,

00:27:43.420 --> 00:27:44.220
 we have to

00:27:44.220 --> 00:27:44.599
 see two

00:27:44.599 --> 00:27:45.019
 things at

00:27:45.019 --> 00:27:45.420
 work here.

00:27:45.539 --> 00:27:45.879
 One is

00:27:45.879 --> 00:27:46.440
 the providence

00:27:46.440 --> 00:27:46.960
 of God.

00:27:48.180 --> 00:27:48.619
 Sometimes

00:27:48.619 --> 00:27:49.480
 there are

00:27:49.480 --> 00:27:50.119
 those people

00:27:50.119 --> 00:27:50.599
 in our

00:27:50.599 --> 00:27:51.019
 midst

00:27:51.019 --> 00:27:51.779
 that God

00:27:51.779 --> 00:27:51.980
 just

00:27:51.980 --> 00:27:52.659
 providentially

00:27:52.659 --> 00:27:53.240
 removes.

00:27:54.220 --> 00:27:54.480
 And it's

00:27:54.480 --> 00:27:54.759
 for the

00:27:54.759 --> 00:27:55.059
 welfare

00:27:55.059 --> 00:27:55.559
 and benefit

00:27:55.559 --> 00:27:55.839
 of the

00:27:55.839 --> 00:27:56.140
 church.

00:27:56.900 --> 00:27:57.440
 But we

00:27:57.440 --> 00:27:57.940
 also have

00:27:57.940 --> 00:27:58.220
 to see

00:27:58.220 --> 00:27:58.480
 church

00:27:58.480 --> 00:27:58.940
 discipline

00:27:58.940 --> 00:27:59.319
 at play

00:27:59.319 --> 00:27:59.579
 here.

00:28:02.039 --> 00:28:03.680
 We have

00:28:03.680 --> 00:28:04.279
 to see

00:28:04.279 --> 00:28:04.920
 in those

00:28:04.920 --> 00:28:05.620
 two things

00:28:05.620 --> 00:28:06.420
 the vine

00:28:06.420 --> 00:28:06.839
 dresser

00:28:06.839 --> 00:28:07.420
 at work

00:28:07.420 --> 00:28:08.400
 caring for

00:28:08.400 --> 00:28:08.900
 the vine

00:28:08.900 --> 00:28:09.180
 and the

00:28:09.180 --> 00:28:09.579
 branches

00:28:09.579 --> 00:28:10.759
 the body

00:28:10.759 --> 00:28:11.380
 of Christ.

00:28:13.460 --> 00:28:14.019
 This

00:28:14.019 --> 00:28:14.480
 brings us

00:28:14.480 --> 00:28:14.960
 now to

00:28:14.960 --> 00:28:15.519
 our

00:28:15.519 --> 00:28:16.120
 dependence

00:28:16.120 --> 00:28:16.940
 in verses

00:28:16.940 --> 00:28:17.420
 4 and

00:28:17.420 --> 00:28:17.759
 5.

00:28:18.819 --> 00:28:19.380
 Abide

00:28:19.380 --> 00:28:19.700
 in me

00:28:19.700 --> 00:28:20.039
 and I

00:28:20.039 --> 00:28:20.500
 in you

00:28:20.500 --> 00:28:21.180
 as a

00:28:21.180 --> 00:28:21.440
 branch

00:28:21.440 --> 00:28:21.700
 cannot

00:28:21.700 --> 00:28:21.980
 bear

00:28:21.980 --> 00:28:22.240
 fruit

00:28:22.240 --> 00:28:22.740
 of itself

00:28:22.740 --> 00:28:23.039
 unless

00:28:23.039 --> 00:28:23.559
 it abides

00:28:23.559 --> 00:28:23.779
 in a

00:28:23.779 --> 00:28:24.039
 vine,

00:28:24.039 --> 00:28:24.500
 so

00:28:24.500 --> 00:28:24.940
 neither

00:28:24.940 --> 00:28:25.220
 can

00:28:25.220 --> 00:28:25.440
 you

00:28:25.440 --> 00:28:25.700
 unless

00:28:25.700 --> 00:28:25.899
 you

00:28:25.899 --> 00:28:26.220
 abide

00:28:26.220 --> 00:28:26.399
 in

00:28:26.399 --> 00:28:26.639
 me.

00:28:27.119 --> 00:28:27.500
 I

00:28:27.500 --> 00:28:27.639
 am

00:28:27.639 --> 00:28:27.779
 the

00:28:27.779 --> 00:28:28.159
 vine,

00:28:28.460 --> 00:28:28.680
 you

00:28:28.680 --> 00:28:28.799
 are

00:28:28.799 --> 00:28:28.920
 the

00:28:28.920 --> 00:28:29.299
 branches,

00:28:29.759 --> 00:28:29.899
 he

00:28:29.899 --> 00:28:30.039
 who

00:28:30.039 --> 00:28:30.399
 abides

00:28:30.399 --> 00:28:30.559
 in

00:28:30.559 --> 00:28:30.700
 me

00:28:30.700 --> 00:28:31.000
 and I

00:28:31.000 --> 00:28:31.139
 in

00:28:31.139 --> 00:28:31.420
 him,

00:28:31.420 --> 00:28:31.839
 he

00:28:31.839 --> 00:28:32.079
 bears

00:28:32.079 --> 00:28:32.440
 much

00:28:32.440 --> 00:28:32.819
 fruit,

00:28:33.279 --> 00:28:33.420
 for

00:28:33.420 --> 00:28:33.859
 apart

00:28:33.859 --> 00:28:34.159
 from

00:28:34.159 --> 00:28:34.460
 me

00:28:34.460 --> 00:28:35.039
 you

00:28:35.039 --> 00:28:35.559
 can

00:28:35.559 --> 00:28:36.220
 do

00:28:36.220 --> 00:28:37.099
 nothing.

00:28:38.579 --> 00:28:39.180
 Well the

00:28:39.180 --> 00:28:39.539
 first thing

00:28:39.539 --> 00:28:39.839
 we have

00:28:39.839 --> 00:28:40.319
 to ask

00:28:40.319 --> 00:28:40.779
 is what

00:28:40.779 --> 00:28:41.139
 is meant

00:28:41.139 --> 00:28:41.359
 by

00:28:41.359 --> 00:28:41.899
 abiding?

00:28:42.500 --> 00:28:42.779
 That was

00:28:42.779 --> 00:28:43.059
 part of

00:28:43.059 --> 00:28:43.619
 the discussion

00:28:43.619 --> 00:28:44.180
 this morning

00:28:44.180 --> 00:28:44.559
 and that

00:28:44.559 --> 00:28:45.039
 is the

00:28:45.039 --> 00:28:45.379
 question

00:28:45.379 --> 00:28:45.779
 that needs

00:28:45.779 --> 00:28:46.059
 to be

00:28:46.059 --> 00:28:46.319
 asked.

00:28:46.379 --> 00:28:46.480
 What

00:28:46.480 --> 00:28:46.599
 does

00:28:46.599 --> 00:28:46.740
 that

00:28:46.740 --> 00:28:46.920
 mean

00:28:46.920 --> 00:28:47.059
 to

00:28:47.059 --> 00:28:47.420
 abide?

00:30:40.460 --> 00:30:40.640
 says

00:30:40.640 --> 00:30:40.820
 I'm

 you

00:30:41.620 --> 00:30:42.340
 we

00:30:42.340 --> 00:30:42.480

00:30:43.080 --> 00:30:43.340
 word

00:30:43.339 --> 00:30:43.599
 he's

00:30:44.059 --> 00:30:44.299

 man

 in

 his

00:31:11.880 --> 00:31:12.240
 part

00:31:12.240 --> 00:31:13.240
 far

00:31:13.240 --> 00:31:13.640
 from

00:31:13.640 --> 00:31:13.820
 it

00:31:13.820 --> 00:31:15.000
 it

00:31:15.000 --> 00:31:15.480
 is

 sovereign

00:31:16.040 --> 00:31:16.519
 grace

00:31:16.519 --> 00:31:16.740
 from

 finish

00:31:17.640 --> 00:31:18.340
 but

00:31:18.340 --> 00:31:18.560
 the

00:31:18.560 --> 00:31:19.580
 responsibility

00:31:19.580 --> 00:31:20.240
 of

00:31:20.240 --> 00:31:20.660
 abiding

00:31:20.660 --> 00:31:20.900
 in

00:31:20.900 --> 00:31:21.340
 Christ

00:31:21.340 --> 00:31:21.960
 is

00:31:21.960 --> 00:31:22.320
 placed

00:31:22.320 --> 00:31:23.100
 squarely

00:31:23.100 --> 00:31:23.580
 upon

00:31:23.580 --> 00:31:24.120
 man's

00:31:24.120 --> 00:31:24.500
 shoulders

00:31:24.500 --> 00:31:25.440
 exactly

00:31:25.440 --> 00:31:26.040
 where

00:31:26.040 --> 00:31:26.259
 it

00:31:26.259 --> 00:31:26.779
 belongs

00:31:26.779 --> 00:31:28.339
 and

00:31:28.339 --> 00:31:28.559
 this

00:31:28.559 --> 00:31:28.700
 is

00:31:28.700 --> 00:31:28.819
 an

00:31:28.819 --> 00:31:29.139
 important

00:31:29.139 --> 00:31:29.619
 distinction

00:31:29.619 --> 00:31:29.859
 we

00:31:29.859 --> 00:31:30.039
 have

00:31:30.039 --> 00:31:30.119
 to

00:31:30.119 --> 00:31:30.319
 make

00:31:30.319 --> 00:31:30.460
 sure

00:31:30.460 --> 00:31:30.599
 we

00:31:30.599 --> 00:31:30.720
 have

00:31:30.720 --> 00:31:31.059
 clarity

00:31:31.059 --> 00:31:31.339
 on

00:31:31.339 --> 00:31:32.039
 Christ

00:31:32.039 --> 00:31:32.259
 is

00:31:32.259 --> 00:31:32.500
 not

00:31:32.500 --> 00:31:32.899
 saying

00:31:32.899 --> 00:31:33.319
 hey

00:31:33.319 --> 00:31:33.619
 you

00:31:33.619 --> 00:31:33.960
 abide

00:31:33.960 --> 00:31:34.119
 in

00:31:34.119 --> 00:31:34.440
 me

00:31:34.440 --> 00:31:35.099
 and

00:31:35.099 --> 00:31:35.399
 then

00:31:35.399 --> 00:31:35.819
 I'm

00:31:35.819 --> 00:31:35.920
 going

00:31:35.920 --> 00:31:36.000
 to

00:31:36.000 --> 00:31:36.299
 watch

00:31:36.299 --> 00:31:36.500
 for

00:31:36.500 --> 00:31:36.619
 a

00:31:36.619 --> 00:31:36.920
 while

00:31:36.920 --> 00:31:37.160
 and

00:31:37.160 --> 00:31:37.279
 when

00:31:37.279 --> 00:31:37.500
 I've

00:31:37.500 --> 00:31:37.879
 decided

00:31:37.879 --> 00:31:38.259
 you've

00:31:38.259 --> 00:31:38.619
 abided

00:31:38.619 --> 00:31:39.220
 well

00:31:39.220 --> 00:31:39.879
 enough

00:31:39.879 --> 00:31:40.720
 then

00:31:40.720 --> 00:31:40.879
 I'll

00:31:40.879 --> 00:31:41.039
 come

00:31:41.039 --> 00:31:41.339
 abide

00:31:41.339 --> 00:31:41.519
 in

00:31:41.519 --> 00:31:41.779
 you

00:31:41.779 --> 00:31:42.899
 that's

00:31:42.899 --> 00:31:43.059
 not

00:31:43.059 --> 00:31:43.200
 what

00:31:43.200 --> 00:31:43.359
 he's

00:31:43.359 --> 00:31:43.599
 saying

00:31:43.599 --> 00:31:45.139
 what

00:31:45.139 --> 00:31:45.359
 he's

00:31:45.359 --> 00:31:45.740
 saying

00:31:45.740 --> 00:31:46.379
 is

00:31:46.379 --> 00:31:47.879
 because

00:31:47.879 --> 00:31:48.619
 I

00:31:48.619 --> 00:31:49.079
 abide

00:32:03.139 --> 00:32:07.940
 so

00:32:07.940 --> 00:32:08.519
 as

00:32:08.519 --> 00:32:08.700
 we

00:32:08.700 --> 00:32:09.079
 abide

00:32:09.079 --> 00:32:09.319
 in

 this

00:32:10.019 --> 00:32:10.539
 ongoing

00:32:10.539 --> 00:32:11.200
 exercise

00:32:11.200 --> 00:32:11.660
 of

00:32:11.660 --> 00:32:11.940
 faith

 two

00:32:12.779 --> 00:32:13.259
 aspects

00:32:13.259 --> 00:32:13.440
 of

 this

00:32:13.599 --> 00:32:14.000
 abiding

00:32:14.000 --> 00:32:14.460
 we

00:32:14.460 --> 00:32:14.660
 need

00:32:14.660 --> 00:32:14.799
 to

00:32:14.799 --> 00:32:15.099
 see

00:32:15.099 --> 00:32:15.720
 first

00:32:15.720 --> 00:32:15.980
 in

00:32:15.980 --> 00:32:16.220
 verse

00:32:16.220 --> 00:32:16.779
 four

00:32:16.779 --> 00:32:18.139
 abide

00:32:18.139 --> 00:32:18.319
 in

00:32:18.319 --> 00:32:18.500
 me

00:32:18.500 --> 00:32:18.660
 and

00:32:18.660 --> 00:32:18.879
 I

00:32:18.879 --> 00:32:19.039
 in

00:32:19.039 --> 00:32:19.299
 you

00:32:19.299 --> 00:32:19.599
 as

00:32:19.599 --> 00:32:19.720
 the

00:32:19.720 --> 00:32:20.039
 branch

00:32:20.039 --> 00:32:20.359
 cannot

00:32:20.359 --> 00:32:20.639

 fruit

00:32:20.920 --> 00:32:21.059
 of

00:32:21.059 --> 00:32:21.519
 itself

00:32:21.519 --> 00:32:22.160
 unless

00:32:22.160 --> 00:32:22.359

 cannot

00:32:28.359 --> 00:32:28.660
 bear

00:32:48.460 --> 00:32:48.700
 from

00:32:48.700 --> 00:32:48.879
 what

 Hendrickson

00:32:58.180 --> 00:32:58.500
 pointed

00:32:58.500 --> 00:32:58.720
 out

00:32:58.720 --> 00:32:59.180
 we

00:32:59.180 --> 00:32:59.379
 are

00:32:59.379 --> 00:33:00.220
 responsible

 we

00:33:05.879 --> 00:33:06.119
 can

 do

00:33:06.859 --> 00:33:07.279
 so

00:33:07.279 --> 00:33:07.639
 out

00:33:12.799 --> 00:33:13.199
 trite

00:33:13.199 --> 00:33:13.439
 little

00:33:13.439 --> 00:33:13.799
 saying

00:33:13.799 --> 00:33:14.000
 in

00:33:14.000 --> 00:33:14.339
 Christian

00:33:14.339 --> 00:33:14.799
 circles

00:33:14.799 --> 00:33:15.099
 these

00:33:15.099 --> 00:33:15.480
 days

00:33:15.480 --> 00:33:16.259
 well

00:33:16.259 --> 00:33:16.439
 you

 God

00:33:17.079 --> 00:33:17.339
 won't

00:33:18.939 --> 00:33:21.339
 God

00:33:21.339 --> 00:33:21.579
 won't

00:33:21.579 --> 00:33:21.799
 make

00:33:21.799 --> 00:33:21.959
 you

00:33:21.959 --> 00:33:22.480
 responsible

00:33:22.480 --> 00:33:22.779
 for

00:33:22.779 --> 00:33:23.079
 something

00:33:23.079 --> 00:33:23.299
 you're

00:33:23.299 --> 00:33:23.500
 not

00:33:23.500 --> 00:33:23.740
 able

00:33:23.740 --> 00:33:23.959
 to

00:33:23.959 --> 00:33:24.279
 do

00:33:24.279 --> 00:33:27.419
 well

00:33:27.419 --> 00:33:27.539
 I

00:33:27.539 --> 00:33:27.699
 got

00:33:27.699 --> 00:33:28.000
 news

00:33:28.000 --> 00:33:28.259
 for

00:33:28.259 --> 00:33:28.439
 you

00:33:28.439 --> 00:33:29.519
 you're

00:33:29.519 --> 00:33:29.719
 not

00:33:29.719 --> 00:33:29.899
 able

00:33:29.899 --> 00:33:30.059
 to

00:33:30.059 --> 00:33:30.240
 do

00:33:30.240 --> 00:33:30.819
 anything

00:33:30.819 --> 00:33:31.579
 of

00:33:31.579 --> 00:33:31.899
 all

00:33:31.899 --> 00:33:32.099
 the

00:33:32.099 --> 00:33:32.379
 things

00:33:32.379 --> 00:33:32.659
 God

00:33:32.659 --> 00:33:32.819
 has

00:33:32.819 --> 00:33:33.059
 called

00:33:33.059 --> 00:33:33.219
 you

00:33:33.219 --> 00:33:33.379
 to

00:33:33.379 --> 00:33:33.679
 do

00:33:33.679 --> 00:33:35.399
 all

00:33:35.399 --> 00:33:35.659
 right

00:33:35.659 --> 00:33:36.319
 I

00:33:36.319 --> 00:33:36.500
 mean

00:33:36.500 --> 00:33:36.799
 that

00:33:36.799 --> 00:33:37.419
 the

00:33:37.419 --> 00:33:38.259
 philosophy

00:33:38.259 --> 00:33:38.959
 imbibed

00:33:38.959 --> 00:33:39.359
 in that

00:33:39.359 --> 00:33:39.619
 little

00:33:39.619 --> 00:33:40.159
 saying

00:33:40.159 --> 00:33:41.619
 is

00:33:41.619 --> 00:33:42.979
 secular

00:33:42.979 --> 00:33:43.959
 humanistic

00:33:43.959 --> 00:33:45.159
 rationalism

00:33:45.159 --> 00:33:46.199
 and it's

00:33:46.199 --> 00:33:46.799
 rotten to

00:33:46.799 --> 00:33:47.319
 the core

00:33:47.319 --> 00:33:48.599
 okay

00:33:48.599 --> 00:33:49.059
 we can't

00:33:49.059 --> 00:33:49.179
 do

00:33:49.179 --> 00:33:49.599
 anything

00:33:49.599 --> 00:33:51.699
 I

00:33:51.699 --> 00:33:52.019
 can't

00:33:52.019 --> 00:33:52.159
 I

00:33:52.159 --> 00:33:52.479
 can't

00:33:52.479 --> 00:33:52.679
 take

00:33:52.679 --> 00:33:53.059
 one

00:33:53.059 --> 00:33:53.419
 little

00:33:53.419 --> 00:33:54.099
 step

00:33:54.099 --> 00:33:54.899
 towards

00:33:54.899 --> 00:33:55.219
 doing

00:33:55.219 --> 00:33:55.979
 anything

00:33:55.979 --> 00:33:56.839
 God

00:33:56.839 --> 00:33:57.019
 has

 God

00:34:06.339 --> 00:34:06.639
 calls

00:42:06.639 --> 00:42:07.139
 God

00:42:07.139 --> 00:42:07.699
 to

00:42:07.699 --> 00:42:08.179
 bring

00:42:08.179 --> 00:42:08.500
 his

00:42:08.500 --> 00:42:08.919
 spirit

00:42:08.919 --> 00:42:09.119
 for

00:42:09.119 --> 00:42:09.279
 the

00:42:09.279 --> 00:42:09.479
 new

00:42:09.479 --> 00:42:09.799
 birth

00:42:09.799 --> 00:42:09.819

00:42:10.239 --> 00:42:10.500
 save

00:42:10.500 --> 00:42:10.839
 us

00:42:10.839 --> 00:42:12.759
 in

00:42:12.759 --> 00:42:12.979
 this

00:42:12.979 --> 00:42:13.699
 ongoing

00:42:13.699 --> 00:42:14.399
 exercise

00:42:14.399 --> 00:42:14.799
 of

00:42:14.799 --> 00:42:15.079
 faith

00:42:15.079 --> 00:42:15.259
 and

00:42:15.259 --> 00:42:15.479
 love

00:42:15.479 --> 00:42:15.619
 that

00:42:15.619 --> 00:42:15.759
 we

00:42:15.759 --> 00:42:16.000
 call

00:42:16.000 --> 00:42:16.399
 abiding

00:42:16.399 --> 00:42:16.639
 in

00:42:16.639 --> 00:42:16.939
 Christ

00:42:16.939 --> 00:42:17.399
 we

00:42:17.399 --> 00:42:17.599
 need

00:42:17.599 --> 00:42:17.719
 to

00:42:17.719 --> 00:42:17.979
 ask

00:42:17.979 --> 00:42:18.239
 God

00:42:18.239 --> 00:42:18.379
 for

00:42:18.379 --> 00:42:18.539
 the

00:42:18.539 --> 00:42:18.859
 grace

00:42:18.859 --> 00:42:19.019
 of

00:42:19.019 --> 00:42:19.139
 the

00:42:19.139 --> 00:42:19.500
 indwelling

00:42:19.500 --> 00:42:19.959
 spirit

00:42:19.959 --> 00:42:20.319
 so we

00:42:20.319 --> 00:42:20.439
 can

00:42:20.439 --> 00:42:20.639
 bear

00:42:20.639 --> 00:42:21.079
 fruit

00:42:21.079 --> 00:42:22.159
 we

00:42:22.159 --> 00:42:22.379
 have

00:42:22.379 --> 00:42:22.519
 to

00:42:22.519 --> 00:42:23.099
 ask

00:42:23.099 --> 00:42:26.599
 that's

00:42:26.599 --> 00:42:26.739
 why

00:42:26.739 --> 00:42:26.879
 I

00:42:26.879 --> 00:42:27.059
 come

00:42:27.059 --> 00:42:27.419
 back

00:42:27.419 --> 00:42:27.759
 to

00:42:27.759 --> 00:42:28.239
 just

00:42:28.239 --> 00:42:29.239
 you

00:42:29.239 --> 00:42:29.339
 know

00:42:29.339 --> 00:42:29.759
 sometimes

00:42:29.759 --> 00:42:29.919
 I

00:42:29.919 --> 00:42:30.079
 just

00:42:30.079 --> 00:42:30.259
 feel

00:42:30.259 --> 00:42:30.519
 so

00:42:30.519 --> 00:42:30.939
 stupid

00:42:30.939 --> 00:42:31.279
 you

00:42:31.279 --> 00:42:31.839
 know

00:42:31.839 --> 00:42:32.079
 it's

00:42:32.079 --> 00:42:32.359
 like

00:42:32.359 --> 00:42:33.279
 oh

00:42:33.279 --> 00:42:33.599
 yeah

00:42:33.599 --> 00:42:33.919
 maybe

00:42:33.919 --> 00:42:34.099
 I

00:42:34.099 --> 00:42:34.299
 need

00:42:34.299 --> 00:42:34.379
 to

00:42:34.379 --> 00:42:34.539
 be

00:42:34.539 --> 00:42:34.819
 asking

00:42:34.819 --> 00:42:35.079
 God

00:42:35.079 --> 00:42:35.239
 for

00:42:35.239 --> 00:42:35.339
 the

00:42:35.339 --> 00:42:35.579
 grace

00:42:35.579 --> 00:42:35.739
 to

00:42:35.739 --> 00:42:35.859
 do

00:42:35.859 --> 00:42:36.039
 my

00:42:36.039 --> 00:42:36.339
 work

00:42:36.339 --> 00:42:36.679
 well

00:42:36.679 --> 00:42:38.339
 and

00:42:38.339 --> 00:42:38.539
 then

00:42:38.539 --> 00:42:39.440
 you

00:42:39.440 --> 00:42:39.559
 know

00:42:39.559 --> 00:42:39.719
 a

00:42:39.719 --> 00:42:39.879
 month

00:42:39.879 --> 00:42:40.199
 later

00:42:40.199 --> 00:42:40.500
 things

00:42:40.500 --> 00:42:40.619
 are

00:42:40.619 --> 00:42:40.779
 going

00:42:40.779 --> 00:42:41.000
 so

00:42:41.000 --> 00:42:41.259
 well

00:42:41.259 --> 00:42:41.379
 at

00:42:41.379 --> 00:42:41.559
 work

00:42:41.559 --> 00:42:41.679
 you

00:42:41.679 --> 00:42:41.819
 go

00:42:41.819 --> 00:42:42.119
 wow

00:42:42.119 --> 00:42:42.419
 that's

00:42:42.419 --> 00:42:42.639
 really

00:42:42.639 --> 00:42:42.980
 great

00:42:42.980 --> 00:42:43.099
 I

00:42:43.099 --> 00:42:43.359
 wonder

00:42:43.359 --> 00:42:43.599
 how

00:42:43.599 --> 00:42:43.899
 that

00:42:43.899 --> 00:42:44.460
 happened

00:42:44.460 --> 00:42:45.399
 oh

00:42:45.399 --> 00:42:45.779
 that's

00:42:45.779 --> 00:42:46.039
 right

00:42:46.039 --> 00:42:46.219
 I

00:42:46.219 --> 00:42:46.519
 asked

00:42:46.519 --> 00:42:46.719
 for

00:42:46.719 --> 00:42:47.119
 that

00:42:47.119 --> 00:42:48.319
 okay

00:42:48.319 --> 00:42:49.799
 but

00:42:49.799 --> 00:42:50.000
 we

00:42:50.000 --> 00:42:50.480
 there

00:42:50.480 --> 00:42:50.779
 needs

00:42:50.779 --> 00:42:51.019
 to be

00:42:51.019 --> 00:42:51.239
 this

00:42:51.239 --> 00:42:51.940
 priority

00:42:51.940 --> 00:42:52.199
 and it

00:42:52.199 --> 00:42:52.379
 needs

00:42:52.379 --> 00:42:52.599
 to be

00:42:52.599 --> 00:42:52.719
 in

00:42:52.719 --> 00:42:52.839
 the

00:42:52.839 --> 00:42:53.019
 front

00:42:53.019 --> 00:42:53.139
 of

00:42:53.139 --> 00:42:53.259
 our

00:42:53.259 --> 00:42:53.639
 minds

00:42:53.639 --> 00:42:53.960
 so we

00:42:53.960 --> 00:42:54.179
 need

00:42:54.179 --> 00:42:54.359
 to

00:42:54.359 --> 00:42:54.819
 ask

00:42:54.819 --> 00:42:54.980
 him

00:42:54.980 --> 00:42:55.119
 for

00:42:55.119 --> 00:42:55.259
 the

00:42:55.259 --> 00:42:55.699
 grace

00:42:55.699 --> 00:42:55.859
 of

00:42:55.859 --> 00:42:56.480
 his

00:42:56.480 --> 00:42:56.879
 spirit

00:42:56.879 --> 00:42:57.119
 so we

00:42:57.119 --> 00:42:57.259
 can

00:42:57.259 --> 00:42:57.419
 bear

00:42:57.419 --> 00:42:57.779
 fruit

00:42:57.779 --> 00:42:58.339
 because

00:42:58.339 --> 00:42:58.579
 see

00:42:58.579 --> 00:42:58.960
 here's

00:42:58.960 --> 00:42:59.099
 the

00:42:59.099 --> 00:42:59.500
 problem

00:42:59.500 --> 00:42:59.819
 for

00:42:59.819 --> 00:43:00.179
 us

00:43:00.179 --> 00:43:01.159
 I

00:43:01.159 --> 00:43:01.839
 know

00:43:01.839 --> 00:43:02.079
 I

00:43:02.079 --> 00:43:02.259
 do

00:43:02.259 --> 00:43:02.719
 anyways

00:43:02.719 --> 00:43:03.079
 but

00:43:03.079 --> 00:43:03.219
 we

00:43:03.219 --> 00:43:03.339
 have

00:43:03.339 --> 00:43:03.500
 a

00:43:03.500 --> 00:43:03.899
 tendency

00:43:03.899 --> 00:43:05.859
 to

00:43:05.859 --> 00:43:06.539
 presume

00:43:06.539 --> 00:43:07.079
 upon

00:43:07.079 --> 00:43:07.659
 God

00:43:07.659 --> 00:43:09.099
 and we

00:43:09.099 --> 00:43:09.239
 can

00:43:09.239 --> 00:43:09.379
 do

00:43:09.379 --> 00:43:09.539
 that

00:43:09.539 --> 00:43:09.679
 a

00:43:09.679 --> 00:43:09.859
 couple

00:43:09.859 --> 00:43:10.319
 ways

00:43:10.319 --> 00:43:12.440
 you

00:43:12.440 --> 00:43:12.500
 know

00:43:12.500 --> 00:43:12.659
 we

00:43:12.659 --> 00:43:12.839
 can

00:43:12.839 --> 00:43:13.480
 presume

00:43:13.480 --> 00:43:13.839
 to do

00:43:13.839 --> 00:43:14.159
 God

00:43:14.159 --> 00:43:14.440
 honoring

00:43:14.440 --> 00:43:14.839
 works

00:43:14.839 --> 00:43:15.079
 in the

00:43:15.079 --> 00:43:15.319
 power

00:43:15.319 --> 00:43:15.599
 of our

00:43:15.599 --> 00:43:15.799
 own

00:43:15.799 --> 00:43:16.279
 strength

00:43:16.279 --> 00:43:17.480
 but

00:43:17.480 --> 00:43:17.599
 I

00:43:17.599 --> 00:43:17.779
 think

00:43:17.779 --> 00:43:17.940
 we

00:43:17.940 --> 00:43:18.119
 all

00:43:18.119 --> 00:43:18.379
 know

00:43:18.379 --> 00:43:18.639
 that

00:43:18.639 --> 00:43:18.899
 that

00:43:18.899 --> 00:43:19.199
 doesn't

00:43:19.199 --> 00:43:19.559
 work

00:43:19.559 --> 00:43:19.839
 we

00:43:19.839 --> 00:43:20.119
 know

00:43:20.119 --> 00:43:20.399
 that

00:43:20.399 --> 00:43:20.719
 that

00:43:20.719 --> 00:43:20.919
 which

00:43:20.919 --> 00:43:21.079
 is

00:43:21.079 --> 00:43:21.399
 flesh

00:43:21.399 --> 00:43:21.399


00:43:21.399 --> 00:43:21.579
 is

00:43:21.579 --> 00:43:22.000
 flesh

00:43:22.000 --> 00:43:22.139
 and

00:43:22.139 --> 00:43:22.279
 the

00:43:22.279 --> 00:43:22.919
 profits

00:43:22.919 --> 00:43:23.339
 nothing

00:43:23.339 --> 00:43:24.779
 okay

00:43:24.779 --> 00:43:25.199
 but

00:43:25.199 --> 00:43:25.399
 I

00:43:25.399 --> 00:43:25.639
 think

00:43:25.639 --> 00:43:25.899
 where

00:43:25.899 --> 00:43:26.239
 we

00:43:26.239 --> 00:43:26.559
 have

00:43:26.559 --> 00:43:26.819
 this

00:43:26.819 --> 00:43:27.279
 tendency

00:43:27.279 --> 00:43:28.159
 is

00:43:28.159 --> 00:43:28.419
 we

00:43:28.419 --> 00:43:29.039
 presume

00:43:29.039 --> 00:43:29.339
!

00:43:29.340 --> 00:43:29.800
 God

00:43:29.800 --> 00:43:30.000
 by

00:43:30.000 --> 00:43:30.440
 taking

00:43:30.440 --> 00:43:30.740
 this

00:43:30.740 --> 00:43:31.079
 grace

00:43:31.079 --> 00:43:31.340
 for

00:43:31.340 --> 00:43:31.860
 granted

00:43:31.860 --> 00:43:33.780
 see

00:43:33.780 --> 00:43:33.980
 we

00:43:33.980 --> 00:43:34.180
 go

00:43:34.180 --> 00:43:34.640
 yeah

00:43:34.640 --> 00:43:34.940
 I

00:43:34.940 --> 00:43:35.579
 know

00:43:35.579 --> 00:43:35.740
 I

00:43:35.740 --> 00:43:35.880
 can

00:43:35.880 --> 00:43:36.019
 do

00:43:36.019 --> 00:43:36.300
 nothing

00:43:36.300 --> 00:43:36.539
 apart

00:43:36.539 --> 00:43:36.680
 from

00:43:36.680 --> 00:43:36.820
 Christ

00:43:36.820 --> 00:43:36.980
 I

00:43:36.980 --> 00:43:37.180
 know

00:43:37.180 --> 00:43:37.460
 that

00:43:37.460 --> 00:43:38.380
 I've

00:43:38.380 --> 00:43:38.500
 known

00:43:38.500 --> 00:43:38.680
 that

00:43:38.680 --> 00:43:38.820
 for

00:43:38.820 --> 00:43:38.900
 a

00:43:38.900 --> 00:43:39.039
 long

 I

00:43:39.860 --> 00:43:40.059
 know

00:43:40.059 --> 00:43:40.380
 that

00:43:40.380 --> 00:43:41.820
 it's

00:43:41.820 --> 00:43:42.000
 just

00:43:42.000 --> 00:43:42.340
 taken

00:43:42.340 --> 00:43:42.519
 for

00:43:42.519 --> 00:43:42.780
 granted

00:43:42.780 --> 00:43:42.960
 I

00:43:42.960 --> 00:43:43.160
 need

00:43:43.160 --> 00:43:43.300
 his

00:43:43.300 --> 00:43:43.680
 grace

00:43:43.680 --> 00:43:45.760
 and

00:43:45.760 --> 00:43:45.920
 yet

00:43:45.920 --> 00:43:46.059
 I

00:43:46.059 --> 00:43:46.260
 don't

00:43:46.260 --> 00:43:46.500
 ask

00:43:46.500 --> 00:43:46.740
 for

00:43:46.740 --> 00:43:46.960
 it

00:43:46.960 --> 00:43:48.240
 see

00:43:48.240 --> 00:43:48.420
 I'm

00:43:48.420 --> 00:43:48.960
 presuming

00:43:48.960 --> 00:43:49.280
 upon

00:43:49.280 --> 00:43:49.460
 him

00:43:49.460 --> 00:43:49.840
 I'm

00:43:49.840 --> 00:43:49.980
 just

00:43:49.980 --> 00:43:50.200
 taking

00:43:50.200 --> 00:43:50.420
 for

00:43:50.420 --> 00:43:50.680
 granted

00:43:50.680 --> 00:43:50.980
 it'll

00:43:50.980 --> 00:43:51.140
 be

00:43:51.140 --> 00:43:51.360
 there

00:43:51.360 --> 00:43:51.559
 whether

00:43:51.559 --> 00:43:51.820
 I

00:43:51.820 --> 00:43:52.140
 ask

00:43:52.140 --> 00:43:52.360
 for

00:43:52.360 --> 00:43:52.480
 it

00:43:52.480 --> 00:43:52.559
 or

00:43:52.559 --> 00:43:52.920
 not

00:43:52.920 --> 00:43:53.800
 but

00:43:53.800 --> 00:43:54.000
 we're

00:43:54.000 --> 00:43:54.400
 commanded

00:43:54.400 --> 00:43:54.880
 to ask

00:43:54.880 --> 00:43:55.199
 for

00:43:55.199 --> 00:43:55.400
 it

00:43:55.400 --> 00:43:56.599
 you

00:43:56.599 --> 00:43:56.719
 know

00:43:56.719 --> 00:43:58.000
 brothers

00:43:58.000 --> 00:43:58.219
 and

00:43:58.219 --> 00:43:58.500
 sisters

00:43:58.500 --> 00:43:59.019
 God

00:43:59.019 --> 00:43:59.340
 doesn't

00:43:59.340 --> 00:43:59.519
 need

00:43:59.519 --> 00:43:59.619
 us

00:43:59.619 --> 00:43:59.760
 to

00:43:59.760 --> 00:44:00.079
 remind

00:44:00.079 --> 00:44:00.260
 him

00:44:00.260 --> 00:44:00.400
 of

00:44:00.400 --> 00:44:00.559
 his

00:44:00.559 --> 00:44:00.980
 promises

00:44:00.980 --> 00:44:01.940
 that's

00:44:01.940 --> 00:44:02.079
 there

00:44:02.079 --> 00:44:02.219
 for

00:44:02.219 --> 00:44:02.480
 our

00:44:02.480 --> 00:44:02.980
 benefit

00:44:02.980 --> 00:44:04.380
 it's

00:44:04.380 --> 00:44:04.500
 to

00:44:04.500 --> 00:44:04.820
 remind

00:44:04.820 --> 00:44:05.079
 us

00:44:05.079 --> 00:44:05.360
 of

00:44:05.360 --> 00:44:05.519
 our

00:44:05.519 --> 00:44:05.980
 total

00:44:05.980 --> 00:44:06.239
 and

00:44:06.239 --> 00:44:06.539
 utter

00:44:06.539 --> 00:44:07.139
 dependence

00:44:07.139 --> 00:44:07.659
 upon

00:44:07.659 --> 00:44:08.000
 him

00:44:08.000 --> 00:44:09.360
 and

00:44:09.360 --> 00:44:09.940
 really

00:44:09.940 --> 00:44:10.420
 I

00:44:10.420 --> 00:44:10.679
 think

00:44:10.679 --> 00:44:11.579
 this

00:44:11.579 --> 00:44:11.800
 is

00:44:11.800 --> 00:44:12.139
 a

00:44:12.139 --> 00:44:12.500
 part

00:44:12.500 --> 00:44:12.920
 of

00:44:12.920 --> 00:44:15.000
 the

00:44:15.000 --> 00:44:15.539
 blessings

00:44:15.539 --> 00:44:15.840
 of

00:44:15.840 --> 00:44:16.320
 redemption

00:44:16.320 --> 00:44:18.800
 because

00:44:18.800 --> 00:44:19.119
 by

00:44:19.119 --> 00:44:19.380
 this

00:44:19.380 --> 00:44:20.119
 act

00:44:20.119 --> 00:44:20.360
 of

00:44:20.360 --> 00:44:20.699
 being

00:44:20.699 --> 00:44:22.320
 constant

00:44:22.320 --> 00:44:22.599
 and

00:44:22.599 --> 00:44:23.039
 acting

00:44:23.039 --> 00:44:23.579
 it draws

00:44:23.579 --> 00:44:23.739
 us

00:44:23.739 --> 00:44:24.059
 closer

00:44:24.059 --> 00:44:24.279
 to

00:44:24.279 --> 00:44:24.579
 Christ

00:44:24.579 --> 00:44:24.840
 and

00:44:24.840 --> 00:44:24.960
 it

00:44:24.960 --> 00:44:25.159
 keeps

00:44:25.159 --> 00:44:25.320
 us

00:44:25.320 --> 00:44:25.500
 more

00:44:25.500 --> 00:44:26.019
 conscious

00:44:26.019 --> 00:44:26.259
 of

00:44:26.259 --> 00:44:26.400
 our

00:44:26.400 --> 00:44:26.659
 need

00:44:26.659 --> 00:44:26.779
 of

00:44:26.779 --> 00:44:27.059
 him

00:44:27.059 --> 00:44:27.480
 and

00:44:27.480 --> 00:44:27.619
 our

00:44:27.619 --> 00:44:28.059
 closeness

00:44:28.059 --> 00:44:28.320
 to

00:44:28.320 --> 00:44:28.539
 him

00:44:28.539 --> 00:44:29.480
 and

00:44:29.480 --> 00:44:30.840
 by

00:44:30.840 --> 00:44:31.159
 so

00:44:31.159 --> 00:44:31.599
 doing

00:44:31.599 --> 00:44:33.420
 we

00:44:33.420 --> 00:44:33.880
 better

00:44:33.880 --> 00:44:34.219
 more

00:44:34.219 --> 00:44:34.679
 clearly

00:44:34.679 --> 00:44:35.179
 see

00:44:35.179 --> 00:44:35.699
 the

00:44:35.699 --> 00:44:36.019
 glory

00:44:36.019 --> 00:44:36.219
 of

00:44:36.219 --> 00:44:36.480
 God

00:44:36.480 --> 00:44:36.639
 in

00:44:36.639 --> 00:44:36.759
 the

 face

00:44:36.960 --> 00:44:37.179
 of

00:44:37.179 --> 00:44:37.679
 Christ

00:44:37.679 --> 00:44:44.639
 see

 what

 God

 is

00:45:34.299 --> 00:45:34.500
 doing

00:45:34.500 --> 00:45:34.959
 it's

00:45:34.959 --> 00:45:35.059
 a

00:45:39.059 --> 00:45:39.199
 we

00:45:39.599 --> 00:45:39.919
 fruit

 glorifies

00:45:40.679 --> 00:45:41.219
 God

00:47:31.119 --> 00:47:31.259
 I

00:47:31.259 --> 00:47:31.599
 see

00:47:31.599 --> 00:47:33.099
 malformed

00:47:33.099 --> 00:47:33.519
 fruit

00:47:33.519 --> 00:47:33.679
 in

00:47:33.679 --> 00:47:33.859
 my

00:47:33.859 --> 00:47:34.299
 life

00:47:34.299 --> 00:47:34.839
 you

00:47:34.839 --> 00:47:34.980
 know

00:47:34.980 --> 00:47:35.219
 the

00:47:35.219 --> 00:47:35.799
 grapes

00:47:35.799 --> 00:47:36.179
 growing

00:47:36.179 --> 00:47:36.339
 on

00:47:36.339 --> 00:47:36.480
 your

00:47:36.480 --> 00:47:36.839
 branch

00:47:36.839 --> 00:47:37.079
 look

00:47:37.079 --> 00:47:37.259
 like

00:47:37.259 --> 00:47:37.419
 they're

00:47:37.419 --> 00:47:37.719
 already

00:47:37.719 --> 00:47:38.299
 raisins

00:47:38.299 --> 00:47:38.859
 that

00:47:38.859 --> 00:47:39.099
 kind

00:47:39.099 --> 00:47:39.219
 of

00:47:39.219 --> 00:47:39.480
 fruit

00:47:39.480 --> 00:47:41.300
 now

00:47:41.300 --> 00:47:41.500
 you

00:47:41.500 --> 00:47:41.800
 might

00:47:41.800 --> 00:47:42.240
 think

00:47:42.240 --> 00:47:42.840
 you

00:47:42.840 --> 00:47:43.159
 should

00:47:43.159 --> 00:47:43.599
 get

00:47:43.599 --> 00:47:43.740
 to

00:47:43.740 --> 00:47:44.039
 work

00:47:44.039 --> 00:47:45.920
 because

00:47:45.920 --> 00:47:46.719
 the

00:47:46.719 --> 00:47:47.039
 branch

00:47:47.039 --> 00:47:47.159
 that

00:47:47.159 --> 00:47:47.440
 doesn't

00:47:47.440 --> 00:47:47.619
 bear

00:47:47.619 --> 00:47:47.920
 fruit

00:47:47.920 --> 00:47:48.059
 is

00:47:48.059 --> 00:47:48.280
 thrown

00:47:48.280 --> 00:47:48.480
 in

00:47:48.480 --> 00:47:48.599
 the

00:47:48.599 --> 00:47:48.860
 fire

00:47:48.860 --> 00:47:48.980
 of

00:47:48.980 --> 00:47:49.240
 eternal

00:47:49.240 --> 00:47:49.719
 judgment

00:47:49.719 --> 00:47:50.780
 I

00:47:50.780 --> 00:47:51.019
 got to

00:47:51.019 --> 00:47:51.139
 get

00:47:51.139 --> 00:47:51.280
 to

00:47:51.280 --> 00:47:51.599
 work

00:47:51.599 --> 00:47:52.079
 I

00:47:52.079 --> 00:47:52.240
 got

00:47:52.240 --> 00:47:52.360
 to

00:47:52.360 --> 00:47:52.619
 try

00:47:52.619 --> 00:47:53.019
 harder

00:47:53.019 --> 00:47:53.559
 I

00:47:53.559 --> 00:47:53.760
 need

00:47:53.760 --> 00:47:53.960
 my

00:47:53.960 --> 00:47:54.199
 ten

00:47:54.199 --> 00:47:54.559
 steps

00:47:54.559 --> 00:47:54.760
 to

00:47:54.760 --> 00:47:55.139
 this

00:47:55.139 --> 00:47:55.679
 I

00:47:55.679 --> 00:47:55.840
 got

00:47:55.840 --> 00:47:55.940
 to

00:47:55.940 --> 00:47:56.119
 go

00:47:56.119 --> 00:47:56.380
 do

00:47:56.380 --> 00:47:56.719
 these

00:47:56.719 --> 00:47:57.000
 three

00:47:57.000 --> 00:47:57.559
 things

00:47:57.559 --> 00:47:57.760
 or

00:47:57.760 --> 00:47:58.139
 whatever

00:47:58.139 --> 00:47:59.400
 I'm

00:47:59.400 --> 00:47:59.639
 simply

00:47:59.639 --> 00:47:59.820
 going

00:47:59.820 --> 00:47:59.900
 to

00:47:59.900 --> 00:48:00.059
 tell

00:48:00.059 --> 00:48:00.139
 you

00:48:00.139 --> 00:48:00.360
 that's

00:48:00.360 --> 00:48:00.559
 not

00:48:00.559 --> 00:48:00.719
 the

00:48:00.719 --> 00:48:00.980
 way

00:48:00.980 --> 00:48:01.860
 that

00:48:01.860 --> 00:48:01.960
 is

00:48:01.960 --> 00:48:02.199
 not

00:48:02.199 --> 00:48:02.380
 the

00:48:02.380 --> 00:48:02.639
 way

00:48:02.639 --> 00:48:04.579
 if

00:48:04.579 --> 00:48:04.760
 there

00:48:04.760 --> 00:48:04.880
 is

00:48:04.880 --> 00:48:05.059
 no

00:48:05.059 --> 00:48:05.340
 fruit

00:48:05.340 --> 00:48:05.460
 in

00:48:05.460 --> 00:48:05.559
 your

00:48:05.559 --> 00:48:05.960
 life

00:48:05.960 --> 00:48:07.059
 what

00:48:07.059 --> 00:48:07.240
 that

00:48:07.240 --> 00:48:07.539
 means

00:48:07.539 --> 00:48:07.860
 is

00:48:07.860 --> 00:48:08.039
 you

00:48:08.039 --> 00:48:08.159
 have

00:48:08.159 --> 00:48:08.340
 no

00:48:08.340 --> 00:48:08.619
 life

00:48:08.619 --> 00:48:08.820
 in

00:48:08.820 --> 00:48:09.220
 Jesus

00:48:09.220 --> 00:48:10.220
 you

00:48:10.220 --> 00:48:10.360
 are

00:48:10.360 --> 00:48:10.579
 not

00:48:10.579 --> 00:48:10.800
 yet

00:48:10.800 --> 00:48:11.199
 united

00:48:11.199 --> 00:48:11.420
 to

00:48:11.420 --> 00:48:11.679
 him

00:48:11.679 --> 00:48:12.179
 and

00:48:12.179 --> 00:48:12.440
 therefore

00:48:12.440 --> 00:48:12.619
 you

00:48:12.619 --> 00:48:12.760
 don't

00:48:12.760 --> 00:48:12.920
 have

00:48:12.920 --> 00:48:13.059
 the

00:48:13.059 --> 00:48:13.320
 means

00:48:13.320 --> 00:48:13.480
 to

00:48:13.480 --> 00:48:13.639
 bear

00:48:13.639 --> 00:48:14.000
 fruit

00:48:14.000 --> 00:48:15.579
 the

00:48:15.579 --> 00:48:16.079
 remedy

00:48:16.079 --> 00:48:16.780
 is

00:48:16.780 --> 00:48:17.199
 not

00:48:17.199 --> 00:48:17.800
 work

00:48:17.800 --> 00:48:18.960
 actually

00:48:18.960 --> 00:48:19.860
 that's

00:48:19.860 --> 00:48:20.059
 the

00:48:20.059 --> 00:48:20.679
 problem

00:48:20.679 --> 00:48:23.360
 working

00:48:23.360 --> 00:48:23.699
 is

00:48:23.699 --> 00:48:23.880
 the

00:48:23.880 --> 00:48:24.460
 problem

00:48:24.460 --> 00:48:27.079
 the

00:48:27.079 --> 00:48:27.500
 remedy

00:48:27.500 --> 00:48:28.420
 is

00:48:28.420 --> 00:48:28.559
 to

00:48:28.559 --> 00:48:28.780
 turn

00:48:28.780 --> 00:48:29.019
 away

00:48:29.019 --> 00:48:29.220
 from

00:48:29.220 --> 00:48:29.400
 the

00:48:29.400 --> 00:48:29.599
 sin

00:48:29.599 --> 00:48:29.740
 of

00:48:29.740 --> 00:48:30.039
 self

00:48:30.039 --> 00:48:30.500
 righteousness

00:48:30.500 --> 00:48:30.880
 and

00:48:30.880 --> 00:48:31.139
 self

00:48:31.139 --> 00:48:31.679
 sufficiency

00:48:31.679 --> 00:48:32.480
 and

00:48:32.480 --> 00:48:32.820
 turn

00:48:32.820 --> 00:48:33.039
 to

00:48:33.039 --> 00:48:33.579
 Christ

00:48:33.579 --> 00:48:34.440
 the

00:48:34.440 --> 00:48:34.880
 remedy

00:48:34.880 --> 00:48:35.180
 is

00:48:35.180 --> 00:48:35.340
 to

00:48:35.340 --> 00:48:35.599
 call

00:48:35.599 --> 00:48:35.840
 out

00:48:35.840 --> 00:48:36.000
 to

00:48:36.000 --> 00:48:36.340
 God

00:48:36.340 --> 00:48:36.599
 and

00:48:36.599 --> 00:48:36.980
 ask

00:48:36.980 --> 00:48:37.140
 him

00:48:37.140 --> 00:48:37.300
 to

00:48:37.300 --> 00:48:37.680
 bring

00:48:37.680 --> 00:48:37.860
 the

00:48:37.860 --> 00:48:38.079
 new

00:48:38.079 --> 00:48:38.400
 birth

00:48:38.400 --> 00:48:38.880
 that

00:48:38.880 --> 00:48:39.059
 will

00:48:39.059 --> 00:48:39.480
 unite

00:48:39.480 --> 00:48:39.619
 you

00:48:39.619 --> 00:48:39.780
 to

00:48:39.780 --> 00:48:40.240
 Christ

00:48:40.240 --> 00:48:40.700
 in

00:48:40.700 --> 00:48:40.900
 this

00:48:40.900 --> 00:48:41.720
 organic

00:48:41.720 --> 00:48:42.700
 vital

00:48:42.700 --> 00:48:43.420
 fruit

00:48:43.420 --> 00:48:43.820
 bearing

00:48:43.820 --> 00:48:43.880
!

00:48:43.880 --> 00:48:44.519
 union!

00:48:47.619 --> 00:48:48.059
 Well

00:48:48.059 --> 00:48:48.380
 what if

00:48:48.380 --> 00:48:48.700
 I'm only

00:48:48.700 --> 00:48:49.140
 seeing a

00:48:49.140 --> 00:48:49.480
 little bit

00:48:49.480 --> 00:48:49.900
 of fruit

00:48:49.900 --> 00:48:50.180
 or

00:48:50.180 --> 00:48:51.380
 that

00:48:51.380 --> 00:48:51.840
 raisin

00:48:51.840 --> 00:48:52.160
 fruit?

00:48:53.700 --> 00:48:53.940
 Well

00:48:53.940 --> 00:48:54.200
 I think

00:48:54.200 --> 00:48:54.619
 based from

00:48:54.619 --> 00:48:55.119
 this text

00:48:55.119 --> 00:48:55.420
 we could

00:48:55.420 --> 00:48:55.640
 say

00:48:55.640 --> 00:48:56.019
 what that

00:48:56.019 --> 00:48:56.480
 indicates

00:48:56.480 --> 00:48:56.660
 then

00:48:56.660 --> 00:48:56.880
 you're

00:48:56.880 --> 00:48:57.140
 in need

00:48:57.140 --> 00:48:57.420
 of some

00:48:57.420 --> 00:48:57.740
 pruning

00:48:57.740 --> 00:49:00.400
 you have

00:49:00.400 --> 00:49:00.760
 some

00:49:00.760 --> 00:49:01.480
 distractions

00:49:01.480 --> 00:49:01.920
 in your

00:49:01.920 --> 00:49:02.180
 life

00:49:02.180 --> 00:49:02.500
 that need

00:49:02.500 --> 00:49:02.740
 to be

00:49:02.740 --> 00:49:03.300
 removed

00:49:03.300 --> 00:49:04.380
 so you

00:49:04.380 --> 00:49:04.840
 can bear

00:49:04.840 --> 00:49:05.079
 more

00:49:05.079 --> 00:49:05.460
 fruit

00:49:05.460 --> 00:49:07.619
 but again

00:49:07.619 --> 00:49:07.880
 here's what

00:49:07.880 --> 00:49:08.079
 you have

00:49:08.079 --> 00:49:08.640
 to understand

00:49:08.640 --> 00:49:09.880
 you can't

00:49:09.880 --> 00:49:10.059
 prune

00:49:10.059 --> 00:49:10.619
 yourself

00:49:10.619 --> 00:49:14.200
 furthermore

00:49:14.200 --> 00:49:14.680
 you can't

00:49:14.680 --> 00:49:14.880
 prune

00:49:14.880 --> 00:49:15.680
 anyone else

00:49:15.680 --> 00:49:17.619
 who does

00:49:17.619 --> 00:49:18.119
 the pruning?

00:49:18.920 --> 00:49:19.680
 the vine

00:49:19.680 --> 00:49:20.160
 dresser

00:49:20.160 --> 00:49:22.559
 he does

00:49:22.559 --> 00:49:23.000
 the pruning

00:49:23.000 --> 00:49:24.320
 so again

00:49:24.320 --> 00:49:24.860
 what do

00:49:24.860 --> 00:49:25.300
 we do?

00:49:26.180 --> 00:49:26.940
 same answer

00:49:26.940 --> 00:49:27.519
 turn to

00:49:27.519 --> 00:49:27.900
 Christ

00:49:27.900 --> 00:49:28.700
 turn to

00:49:28.700 --> 00:49:28.980
 Christ

00:49:28.980 --> 00:49:29.820
 in repentance

00:49:29.820 --> 00:49:30.840
 turn away

00:49:30.840 --> 00:49:31.260
 from trying

00:49:31.260 --> 00:49:31.559
 to bear

00:49:31.559 --> 00:49:32.059
 fruit in

 sounds

00:49:51.340 --> 00:49:52.039
 painful

00:49:52.039 --> 00:49:53.780
 what

00:50:08.620 --> 00:50:08.840
 that

00:50:08.840 --> 00:50:09.460

00:50:11.960 --> 00:50:15.660
 it

00:50:15.660 --> 00:50:15.780
 can

00:50:15.780 --> 00:50:16.019
 be a

00:50:16.019 --> 00:50:16.240
 hard

00:50:16.240 --> 00:50:16.519
 prayer

 you

00:50:18.000 --> 00:50:18.200
 know

00:50:18.200 --> 00:50:18.480
 what's

00:50:18.700 --> 00:50:18.980
 follow

00:50:18.980 --> 00:50:19.340
 isn't

00:50:19.340 --> 00:50:19.460
 going

00:50:19.460 --> 00:50:19.560
 to

00:50:19.560 --> 00:50:19.780
 feel

00:50:19.780 --> 00:50:20.100
 good

00:50:20.100 --> 00:50:22.280
 but

00:50:22.280 --> 00:50:22.539
 that's

00:50:22.539 --> 00:50:22.700
 what

00:50:22.700 --> 00:50:22.860
 we

00:50:25.220 --> 00:50:25.460
 so

00:50:25.460 --> 00:50:25.720
 he'll

00:50:25.720 --> 00:50:26.220
 convict

00:50:26.220 --> 00:50:26.400
 us

00:50:26.400 --> 00:50:26.680

00:50:27.660 --> 00:50:28.120
 inhibits

00:50:28.120 --> 00:50:28.300
