9. Jesus’ Spirit (Holy Spirit) flows from the Vine to the branch
Jesus, The Vine, is the source of life for a true Disciple
Disciples are to bear Fruit in the Kingdom
Apart from Jesus we are Dead Wood
To Abide In Christ is to Meditate on Him, Think of His Promises, Obey Him.
Jesus’ Spirit (Holy Spirit) flows from the Vine to the branch

10. The Cost for Following Jesus:
"cheap grace is the preaching of forgiveness without requiring repentance, baptism without church discipline. communion without confession. Cheap grace is grace without discipleship, grace without the cross, grace without Jesus Christ."
Or, even more clearly, it is to hear the gospel preached as follows: "Of course you have sinned, but now everything is forgiven, so you can stay as you are and enjoy the consolations of forgiveness." The main defect of such a proclamation is that it contains no demand for discipleship.
In contrast to this is costly grace:
“C ostly grace confronts us as a gracious call to follow Jesus, it comes as a word of forgiveness to the broken spirit and the contrite heart. It is costly because it compels a man to submit to the yoke of Christ and follow him; it is grace because Jesus says: "My yoke is easy and my burden is light." Dietrich Bonheoffer

15. God created the home before He created His Church!
Revival begins at Home
Revival is desperately needed in the church…in the country…in the world;
The home is the place before all others where revival must be experienced.
God created the home before He created His Church!
Revival life is manifested in fellowship and oneness with those with whom we live.
But a revived church with un-revived homes is sheer hypocrisy!

17. Revival Needs to Start With YOU!
