In his TGCW24 message, David Platt teaches Jesus’s final “I am” statement from John 15:1–11, which Jesus spoke to his disciples on the night he was betrayed.
Jesus calls all believers to abide in him like a branch remains in its vine, drawing everything we need from him. We don’t rely on our obedience to save or sanctify us; we rely on the finished work of Jesus, depending fully on him. Because apart from him, we can do nothing. He is the true vine.
Platt teaches the folllowing:
- Childlike boldness and the will of God
- The metaphor of the vine
- Jesus as the true vine
- Experiencing abundant life in Jesus
- The role of prayer and meditation
- The battle for belief and trust
- Bearing fruit for the world
