Our special guest this Sunday offering a reflection on the gospel is John Michael Talbot.

The Vine and the Branches
John 15: 1-8

“I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. 2 He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes[a] so that it will be even more fruitful. 3 You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. 4 Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.

5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. 6 If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. 7 If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. 8 This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.

ALL MY HOPE by David Crowder

I've been held by the Saviour
I've felt fire from above
I've been down to the river
I ain't the same, a prodigal returned
All my hope is in Jesus
Thank God that yesterday's gone
And all my sins are forgiven
And I've been washed by the blood
I'm no stranger to the prison
I've worn shackles and chains
But I've been freed and forgiven
Yes, I have
I'm not going back, I'll never be the same
That's why I sing
All my hope is in Jesus
Thank God, my yesterday's gone
All my sins are forgiven (forgiven)
I've been washed by the blood
And there's a kind of thing that just breaks a man
Break him down to his knees (oh, yeah, Lord)
God, I've been broken more than a time or two, yes, Lord
Then He picked me up (picked me up)
And showed me what it means to be a man
Come on and sing
All my hope is in Jesus
Thank God my yesterday's gone (gone)
Yes, all my sins are forgiven (forgiven)
I've been washed by the blood
Come on and sing
All my hope is in Jesus
Thank God my yesterday's gone
Yes, all my sins are forgiven (all my sins are forgiven)
Oh, I've been washed by the blood
