Sermon Note
Pastor Mark
Our Lord keeps on looking after us and He will be responsible for our well being.
Man are always busy and looking for provision. Our Lord Jesus came and want to give us provision.
Our Lord wants to save us. He wants to be our Sacrificial Lamb so that we can come to Him
The new commandment is we ℓσνє each other like how He loves us
When we receive His ℓσνє we can live out the ℓσνє we receive from Him
God knows we are weak and He will never forsake us
John 14:6
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
Our Holy Spirit is working within us.
The disciples became joyful from sorrow
Jesus said when they see Him again they will be full of joy
In Him there is peace
In this world there might be sorrow but rest assured, Jesus has conquered the battle for us
John 15:1
The True Vine
“I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser.
True vine
Israel was chosen as God’s vine
Our Father is our vinedresser. Don’t worry. He will take care of our lives.
He is here to groom us
Jesus is here to represent Father’s heart
God’s house we have a Father who loves us. He wants His children to come back to Him
God is the only way. He is the true ℓσνє
Jesus wants to groom you and provide for you.
Jesus put us in Him. We have the blessings
We are in Him. We are one with Him. God is our wisdom
This is heavenly news
John 15:2
Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away (lift up); and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit.
Takes away – lift up
Jesus came to lift us up
He represents God’s heart for us
Jesus will never forsake us
No matter how weak you are, Jesus never forsake us. Just like Peter. He knew Peter will fail Him but He never forsake him
Jesus wants to lift us up. He wants us to be fruitful. He uses water to cleanse us. God wants us to be in health even as our souls prospers
Once you are saved you are saved forever
John 13:10
Jesus said to him, “He who is bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean; and you are clean, but not all of you.”
Not all of us – Jesus meant Judas
Jesus represent God’s ℓσνє. Jesus loves us
Ephesians 5:25-26
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word,
John 15:4-5
Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.
“I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.
Our responsible is to abide
Jesus is our life. We have His life
We must be in Him to have shalom
1 Corinthians 1:30
But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God—and righteousness and sanctification and redemption—
We are in Christ. God sees us in Christ. We are cleansed.
Once we are cleansed we just need to wash our feet
We are healthy and strong.
We can only be at one place at one time. So we are in Christ we cannot be out of Christ.
God wants to groom us. We are healthy and always provided for
1 John 4:17
The Consummation of Love
Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world.
As Christ is, so are we in this world
Jesus is the One who heals us
We believe and we declare
Believe in your heart and declare
God’s inheritance is good
We are God’s children and we inherit His inheritance
All inheritance belongs to us
Jesus has finished the work. We just need to rest in His bosom
Our source is Jesus
No matter how weak we are, Jesus loves us
Live in His ℓσνє and listen to His good news
We choose to believe Jesus
When we are rested in Jesus, we glorify Him!
2 Timothy 2:13
If we are faithless,
He remains faithful;
He cannot deny Himself.
