Jesus probably shocked His listeners by one of His I AM statements when He said He is the True Vine. They would have understood exactly this reference to Messianic prophecy. But comfort comes from abiding in Him, thriving on the nutrients He provides, so we can bear fruit.

Jesus said He is the Vine, His Father is the Vinedresser, and we are the branches. What does this say about are relationship with Him? And what does it mean to be pruned?

Isaiah 5:1-7
1 John 1:1-4

In order to say "Not My will but Yours" in this emotional passage from Mark, Jesus had to act in a radical obedience and trust. In this we should be moved to love Him and to imitate Him.
Sermon discussion topics for parents to use with their children:
- What does this text show us about Jesus' obedience?
- What can we learn from His example?
- What does it show about His trust?
- What can we learn from His example in this, as well?
- Have you ever been faced with trusting God when you didn't understand what He was doing?

Faith... we all need it but we sure do struggle with having enough of it. Living and walking in strong faith sure has a profound impact on one's life. The person who is strong in it is calm, brave, obedient, and knows God with a closeness which is amazing. The Hebrews were struggling in this area, as we do, so the writer of this letter wrote this amazing chapter 11 which we call the Faith Chapter. In it he defines what faith is and calls us to a deeper faith.

Peter and Paul both tell slaves to be submissive to their masters... what implication does that have for how we view our daily work, our boss, our employees? The implications are huge. Christ came to redeem work... and the redemption He purchased has transformed the world and will transform your view of what you do all day long!!

Peter calls the believers Elect Immigrants!!! What a way to describe Christians. It refers to the fact that God has made us Special and Different. We will explore how God has done this and why it is so meaningful as we begin this study of 1 Peter.

The Glory of Christ is seen in His humble obedience. It is astounding to consider first how great His is and yet how willingly He was to lower Himself out of obedience to His Father and love for us... these great themes are the topic of this message.
