Last Will & Testament Part 2: Abide - John 15:1-17

Jesus described his relationship to his followers as a vine and its branches. That’s how the Gardner, God, designed the new humanity, the church, and our sanctification.  We grow-in-Christ both personally and corporately. You’re stunted if your approach to faith isn’t inter-connected with other Christians in worship, discipleship, and ministry.  And you’re deformed if, while connected to others in a sense of religion, your faith isn’t personal — knowing Christ. There are values out there that will be parasitic to our faith if we do not allow God to prune us.
