This series will take us through Jesus’ early ministry, teachings, healings, miracles, parables, and into the drama of Holy Week. In John 15, Jesus tells us that he is the true vine and we are the branches. We are grafted into Christ, and he is our source of life and nourishment. Because we are grafted into Christ, this Lenten journey is our journey and his death is our death. His life is our life; life “on the vine.”
How do you turn a wild olive tree into one that bears fruit? We are grafted into the historic, cultivated root of God’s first people in order that we would bear fruit for God’s kingdom.
scripture:
Romans 11:13-24
At the baptism of Jesus, his public ministry begins. He is the root, the one into whom we are grafted in our own baptism.
scripture:
Luke 3:7-9;21-22
