In this sermon True Vine and Branches, we learn Jesus  is the true vine.  His message is one of healing, deliverance, and the preaching of good news. As we are joined to him through his indwelling, we receive the spiritual nourishment, and produce Fruit. Jesus said, I am the true vine. Israel had been a disappointing vine. There is no other source of spiritual life but Jesus. The believers are the productive branches. The branch cannot bear fruit of itself except it abide in  the vine. Pruning is necessary. The primary tool used is the Word of God
