Jesus and the Kingdom - Week 10

Mark Stephenson

This is week 10 of our series Jesus & The Kingdom where we are unpacking the parables of Jesus. This week Mark Stephenson covers a passage of scripture from the gospel of John that isn’t technically a parable. It’s part parable and part metaphor. As we unpack this teaching of Jesus, we’ll examine what it looks like for Jesus to be the vine and for us to be the branches. The major question we’re answering is: “Does God punish us?” If you’ve ever felt like the hardships in your life felt like a punishment from God, this is a message that’s tailor-made for you. Let’s watch and learn the difference between pruning and punishment.
