TFM-Northfield-VermontSpeakers:

  • Robin Atherton
  • Charles Hocker

Scriptures used:

  • John 15:1-13
  • Romans 1:16
  • 2 Timothy 4:6

Subject:

  • What is the fruit  Jesus is talking about here?  The fruit is love.  Everything Jesus preached revolved around agape love.  Agape love differentiates us from the world.
  • Love is doing right for a person.  Telling them the truth.  If that love in the form of correction is received it is good for us.
  • Faith is the only thing we have to offer The Lord.
  • Agape is the love received from the Father that we give out.  Agape doesn’t feel good because feelings are tied to the flesh.
  • Life-sustaining nutrients are available to the branches.
  • Jesus’s agape love is the nutrient given.
  • Allow the light to shine on you for that true growth.
  • If we’re about ourselves the light can’t shine forth.
  • David served Saul all the days of his life even though Saul wanted to kill him.
  • The Word asks us to lay down our life for The Lord and others.  This means serving one another.
  • Jesus laid down his life both in service and literally on the cross.
  • Serve Jesus and the line of authority first.
  • Paul had his own battle to keep the faith.
  • There is a cleansing that we need to have to keep the faith and then to stand.
  • We are offended at the gospel because we see a brother or sister stand in it.
  • It is the blood of the lamb that is sufficient and the flesh wars against that.
  • Paul was not any different than us but was zealous.
  • He had all shortcomings but forgot those things that were behind because he believed God.
  • Coming to The Lord as a child:  a child has a desire to do things but is not able.  And then they start to walk, and fall.  It doesn’t stop them.  How often does it stop us?  That is a lack of zeal for The Lord.
  • We can never move forward if there is a tie to the testimony of our flesh.
  • Job is called God’s servant and Job stood before God and recognized how unholy he was.  * * * God had him pray for his accusers who were pleased to think they were better than Job.
  • We have to put off things and stand, and not be ashamed of the gospel.
  • We have to submit ourselves and receive it.
