Sunday Service, 27th Oct
Most of us produce very little of the food we eat. We are consumers who buy what others provide. We acknowledge this every Harvest. But, following on from our Weekend At Home, we left the passage from John 15 where Jesus asks us to remain in his love without looking at his intention. Jesus says abiding in him should produce lasting fruit. We are not merely to be consumers of his love but producers also. What does that mean? Playing a gooseberry is embarrassing, being a lemon is not nice, and he didn’t want us to be spouting rhubarb. What sort of fruit grows from our abiding in Jesus? We shall explore further this morning.
