4 Let me sing for my beloved my love song concerning his vineyard: My beloved had a vineyard on a very fertile hill. He dug it and cleared it of stones, and planted it with choice vines; he built a watchtower in the midst of it, and hewed out a wine vat in it; and he looked for it to yield grapes… The vineyard of the Lord of hosts is the house of Israel Isaiah 5:1-7 (see also Matthew 21:33-44)

9 What does it mean to be a fruitful Christian? You have the life of God in you, and you reproduce his life in your actions, particularly as you mix with other people.

10 How to be a fruitful Christian? Abide in Jesus Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. Verse 4 If a person remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. Verse 5

11 How to be a fruitful Christian? Abide in Jesus Be full of the Holy Spirit The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Galatians 5:22

12 How can I be a fruitful Christian? Abide in Jesus Be full of the Holy Spirit Accept the Father’s pruning Every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. Verse 2
