Abiding : The Fruit by Dr. Rod Mattoon

About this sermon

* John 15:2- Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. * John 15:4-5...Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. 5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. * John 15:8- Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. God has a purpose for Christians and that purpose is they will be fruitful, productive, and effective in bringing glory to God as they follow the will of God for their lives. God desires that we be fruitful in our Christian lives. What is fruit? We find some specific answers in the Bible about fruit that pleases the Lord. This kind of fruit has an impact for eternity. It is spiritual fruit that has spiritual qualities and has a spiritual impact on your life and the lives of others. It is fruit that brings honor and glory to God. This message provides a list of what is spiritual fruit. This message was preached on Sunday morning, October 22, 2023, at Lincoln Land Baptist Church.
