In this section, we see another of the "I am" statements by Jesus in that He identifies Himself with the true vine and His Father as the vinedresser. Dr. Sproul provides us with a lesson on fruit production and noting the difference between branch removal and pruning. Dr. Sproul makes explains that the pruning is a cleansing and that our productivity is directly related to our abiding in Christ.

This sermon is from the Lord’s Day pulpit ministry of R.C. Sproul at Saint Andrew’s Chapel near Orlando, Florida.
