For the next three weeks, we’re going to take some time away from John to focus on the type of church we want to be in 2025. In fact, this isn’t just the type of church we want to be, it’s the type of church we must be.

The Bible is one of the most powerful things a person can own because the Bible contains the very words of God. As one year draws to an end and another looms around the corner, it’s good for us to commit together to make this next year the year we get more out of God’s word than we ever have before.

Friendship with Jesus will put a target on your back. In our text for this weekend, Jesus warns His disciples that their association with Him will inevitably lead to hatred from the world. As with so much of what we’ve been studying in this series, Jesus was telling them these things to prepare them and equip them for what lay ahead. Nearly 2,000 years later, the world still hates the disciples of...

In our passage this week, Jesus calls His followers, “friends.” What an amazing thought, that you and I, if we are followers of Jesus, might be called friends by the Son of God! If you don’t know Jesus as friend but have only ever known him as Lord and Savior, Master and Creator, you are missing out on so much that God desires for you.  John 15:12-17  will help you understand why. 

As we resume our study of John, we come to a metaphor for life in Christ. Through the image of the vine and the branches, Jesus will show us that if we want spiritual vitality, if we want to bear fruit, and if we want to live without guilt and condemnation and shame and feeling like we can’t do enough, we must be connected to Him.

A sermon by Dr. R. Albert Mohler, Jr.

Now with him going away, that relationshi...
