Jesus said He is the True Vine and we are the branches. Plural. Meaning Jesus is talking not to an individual but to a group of disciples who he expected to become intertwined branches that connect with him and produce fruit together. Branches that share in the same support, nourishment and direction as the vine. One of our core values as a church is Together is Better, and this week we will discover it's not just better together, it's actually necessary to be a disciple of Christ.
