4 JOHN 15:1-4 NIV I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. 2 He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. 3 You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. 4 Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.
5 JOHN 15:5-8 NIV I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. 6 If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. 7 If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. 8 This is to my Father s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.
6 JOHN 15:9-14 NIV As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. 10 If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father s commands and remain in his love. 11 I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. 12 My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. 13 Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one s life for one s friends. 14 You are my friends if you do what I command.
7 JOHN 15:15-17 NIV I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. 16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit fruit that will last and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you. 17 This is my command: Love each other.
8 JOHN 15:2 NIV He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. PROBLEM VERSE

(major blocks of material, flow of thought, author s perspective, descriptive or prescriptive truth, teaching focus, immediate audience) KEY: WHO is being spoken to? WHY? What did it mean to them?
12 THE IMMEDIATE CONTEXT John 13 to 17 = Jesus final words of comfort to his disciples before his arrest.
13 THE IMMEDIATE CONTEXT It was just before the Passover Festival. Jesus knew that the hour had come for him to leave this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. The evening meal was in progress (Jn 13:1-2a NIV) Come now, let us leave (Jn 14:31b). I am the true vine (Jn 15:1) When he had finished praying, Jesus left with his disciples and crossed the Kidron Valley. On the other side there was an olive grove, and he and his disciples went into it (Jn 18:1 NIV). JOHN 13-17
14 JESUS MODELS SERVING ONE ANOTHER JOHN 13:1-15 NIV
15 LOVE ONE ANOTHER
16 PROMISES IN JOHN 14 Come now, let us leave (Jn 14:31b NIV)
17 THE VINE AND THE BRANCHES John 15:1-17
18 THE VINE AND THE BRANCHES I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. 2 He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes. 4 Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. 5 I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. 6 If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. 10 If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love 11 I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. JOHN 15:1-11 NIV
19 THE IMMEDIATE CONTEXT It s about Encouragement & Comfort Not If don t bear fruit you re going to be cut off to lose your salvation to be burned in hell! Now, I ve told you this so that your joy may be complete. JOHN 15:1-11 NIV
20 More on the Work of the Holy Spirit (Jn 16) Jesus Prayers (Jn 17)
