Introduction: Architecture
When I was a kid I LOVED drawing.
I wasn’t very good, but I loved doing it.
As I got older I began to draw houses and bridges and sky scrapers and I dreamed of one day designing them myself.
I had a particular love for old, red brick buildings.
So when my older brother graduated college and I got to travel to New England and be in the midst of buildings that were build Centuries ago, to say I was excited is a bit of an understatement.
Because here are a few of the buildings I got to see!! SLIDES (4 then vines) They were GORGEOUS!
But it made me so mad, some of them had vines on them!
Not sure if you know this, but vines deteriorate the grout in between bricks… it’s bad.
This developed in me a hatred for vines… it’s weird to say, I know, but it did…
As I grew older and began to spend more time reading scripture I came across .
SLIDES
But as I dug into these verses: SLIDES
When I first studied this scripture ALL I could think about was how much I hated vines and how they were destroying the architecture I loved dearly!
But as I got older I stopped wanting to be an architect and got over it!
As I dug deeper I began to see the beauty of the verse and the beauty of what it means to “abide in” (see v. 5) Christ.
I began to see the beauty of a vine.
SLIDE: Vine
So if we abide in him we are a “branch” off of the “vine” of Jesus… So,
SLIDE
SLIDE
Our identity is in Christ
We are no longer our old selves.
We are now a part of the Body of Christ:

tells us this about what happens when we are “in Christ”
1 Corinthinans
Our identity is in Christ
We are a part of the Body now!!

SLIDE: Grafting
We are no longer our old selves.
We are now a part of the Body of Christ:

But back to the vine…
SLIDE just vine
We are now a part of this beautiful vine.
We were not born into it.
We were grafted into it.
SLIDE: Grafting
When we surrender our lives to Christ, we are no longer our own, rogue, lost plant.
We are now grafted into the Vine of Jesus Christ.
SLIDE
Our source of Life is now Jesus!
Our source of hope is now Jesus!
Our source of motivation is now Jesus!
We are not defined by our sin or by our temptation.
We are defined by Jesus.
This is who we are now.
This is our source.
We are now grafted in to this beautify SLIDE vine to be apart of something much much more beautiful.
It’s our source of nourishment.
We see this in
SLIDE
John 6
He is the only source of satisfaction.
We are now grafted in to this beautiful SLIDE vine to be apart of something much much more beautiful.
We are just one of many branches on the Vine of Jesus Christ.
VIDEO
we see this in Mark 10:28-30
We all have different family situations
different backgrounds
different situations...
SLIDE
SLIDE
Our family is in Christ
We all have different family situations
Mark 10:28-
different backgrounds
different situations...
from a very early point in His ministry Jesus had a simply message:
You will have to give up things to come to Christ.
You will have to give up things to come to Christ.
But you will gain even more.
Now.
SLIDE
Jesus’ primary promise is family.
SLIDE
We belong in community
As the video said, we were made to live in relationship, we were made to live in community.
But for believers it is important to remember that...
SLIDE
We are the community
SLIDE (LAST ONE ROSES)
A community made up of broken, ugly, messed up people who have turned and are heading toward Jesus.
No one has made it yet.
We get to support, help, encourage, and do this together.
Matthew 4:17
This isn’t specific to a certain group of people, this is to every.
ALL, need to fully turn.
There is no “You, your struggle is X so you only need to change direction a little bit.
But you, your struggle is Y so you need to change a bit more.”
If you were at the Good Friday service you heard Gary speak on this verse:
SLIDE
We all start off going the completely wrong direction.
COMPLETELY.
Period.
“deny [yourself]” doesn’t mean that Jesus just wants to add a little here and a little there… he wants a complete life change.
