As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. II. ABOUND in good fruit. John 15:6-8 If anyone does not abide in me he is thrown away like a branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned. If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.

We want the WAY of Jesus over the WAY of CULTURE. What is cancel culture? Cancel culture or call-out culture is a modern form of ostracism in which someone or something is thrust out of social or professional circles – whether it be online, on social media, or in person. What does the Bible say about cancel culture? Matthew 10:14-15 If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, leave that home or town and shake the dust off your feet. Truly I tell you, it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town. John 18:36 Jesus said, "My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my ar...

A healthy Christian life is CONSISTENTLY SHAPED BY TRUTH . John 1:14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. 2. Our relationship to truth is DAMAGED BECAUSE OF SIN . 3. We HIDE Genesis 3:8 Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the Lord God among the trees of the garden. 4.

Verde Valley Christian Church Sep 5 – 11, 2021 Series: Truth Has an Edge Title: "Sharper Than a Sword" Speaker: Jim Hammond I. Truth is SHARP Romans 1:19-20 since what can be known about God is evident among them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, that is, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen since the creation of the world, being understood through what he has made. As a result, people are without excuse. Romans 1:18 For God's wrath is revealed from heaven against all godlessness and unrighteousness of people who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth, Matthew 26:39 Going a little farther, he fell facedown and prayed, "My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me.
