A Fruitful Vine

 

Sunday, June 7, begins on new series on the church as the vineyard of God.

God has sent us to a vineyard to teach us about our fruit. God uses plagues and wicked rulers in such a way that they reveal what we are actually made of, good and bad, so that we can repent where we need to repent and keep building where it is going well. If we are the bride of Christ, the fruitful vine, then what has resulted from the squeeze?

  • The Fruit of our Worship: The Lord’s Day: creation and covenant. Rev. 1:10
