Using passages from John 14 and 15, Rev. Gary Kennedy reminds us all that God will help us grow in our spirit and in our ministry to others as long as we stay in contact with Him. In order to grow and produce fruit, trees and vines must be pruned. Otherwise abundant leaves will block light needed for growth and maturity. The same is true about our growth as followers of Jesus Christ. Jesus is our vine and God our Father in Heaven is the vinedresser. He will prune us as long as we remain part of the vine (Jesus) which allows the Light to help us grow. He will prune us, feed us and give us the guidance and encouragement we need to produce fruit in His kingdom.
