WALKING IN THE SPIRIT

Walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.  (Galatians 5:16 & 22). 

This series will explore how abiding in Christ will empower us to walk in the Spirit and be like a tree planted by the streams of water that yields the fruit of the Holy Spirit.

THE ZEN OF “IN” (John 15:1-8)

Message 1 of 6 in series WALKING IN THE SPIRIT

^{John 15:1} "I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. ⁴ "Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in me.

I. The Zen of IN - Abiding

⁵ "I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. ⁶ "If anyone does not abide in Me, he is thrown away as a branch and dries up; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire and they are burned.

II. The Zen of IN - Pruning

² "Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, He prunes it so that it may bear more fruit. ³ "You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.

III. The Zen of IN - Proving

⁷   "If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. ⁸   "My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be my disciples.
