Trellis: A Rule of Life for Abiding in the Vine

 Beginning Sunday, October 13th

“I am the vine. You are the branches.
If you abide in me and I abide in you, you will bear much fruit.
But, apart from me, you can do nothing.” John 15:5

The most fruitful and abundant vineyards of the world don’t simply grow in the wild. They don’t happen by accident.
There is an order.
A structure.
A plan.

The branches and the grapes they produce need to be cultivated, guided, and formed. That kind of formation requires a deliberate strategy to keep the fruit off the ground and growing toward the light.

In the same way, our spiritual formation in Christ will not happen on its own. It won’t happen by accident. It too needs a deliberate strategy.
A structure.
A plan.
A Rule of Life — a deliberate set of practices meant to keep us rooted in the Vine and growing toward …the light.
