Seeking Truth Bible Study: Gospel of John (Chapter 15 Part 2)

Sharon digs deeper into the imagery of John 15, showing us how God the father is the
husbandman of the vineyard, tending to the vines, pruning away the dead branches so that the vine may
grow and flourish. If we allow, God will cut out our sinful tendencies. This discipline, while at times
painful, is necessary for us to abide with Him. He wants us to bear eternal fruit that will last, and have a
sober intoxication of His Holy Spirit, the sap that flows through the vine as we climb the trestle back to
the Father.
