This article is based on a sermon I preached recently at Church of the Intercessor in Malverne, NY. Christ calls us to bear real fruit, which we do by abiding in Him (the true Vine) and allowing His Father, the vinedresser, to prune us.
“Every branch in me that does not bear fruit {God the Father} takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit.”
