The Vine & the Branches

ABOUT THE MESSAGE: The life and writings of the Apostle Paul are saturated with the theme of union with Jesus Christ. Yet this notion of being united to Christ did not originate with Paul. Jesus Himself spoke with His disciples about the vital importance of being united to Him. In this lesson, we will explore Christ’s teaching on the vine and the branches in John 15 and learn, from Jesus’ own words, why our union with Him is the most important part of our lives.

ABOUT THE SERIES: What does it mean to be a Christian? Common answers to this question can be contradictory and confusing. Is Christianity simply an ethical system or a set of doctrinal beliefs? In Union with Christ, Dr. Sinclair Ferguson surveys one of the Apostle Paul’s favorite phrases to describe the essence of the Christian life: being “in Christ.” This twelve-part teaching series explores what it means to be “in Christ” and how these two simple words can reshape our entire existence.
