05 Connected to Christ - Come Thirsty (MP3)

Listen to a Sample

Fruitless and frustrated is a phrase that describes many of God's children. The promise of Galatians 5:22 entices us:  "But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness" (NLT). 

Now if you have all the patience and kindness you need then you can skip this part. If not, you can take note because your heavenly father wants to talk to you about the secret of his vineyard. And it's summarized in one phrase, "Abiding faith bears abundant fruit." The five words summarize the final sermon of Jesus. He wants us to understand that apart from the vine, Jesus, we, the branches, cannot bear any fruit. But connected to the vine we can look for abundant fruitfulness.
