Through Jesus, we can grow fruit in our own lives.

Today, we’re going to talk about how grapes are made. Well, the lesson includes grapes but it’s not really about grapes. Sometimes, Jesus would tell a story about everyday things to teach people an important lesson. In one lesson, Jesus talked about how grapes grow and compared it to how we should grow. In the story, Jesus is like the vine that gives the branches food, water and everything it needs to grow fruit. We are like the branches that grow out of the vine. When we’re connected to Jesus, we’ll produce fruit, too. Now, we won’t grow actual fruit but we’ll grow the fruits of the Spirit like love, joy, and patience. But, if we disconnect from Jesus, we won’t be able to produce fruit and we’ll eventually be like a dead branch. So, kids, remember to stay connected to Jesus so you can produce fruit that honors God.

Key Points:

  • Jesus is the vine and we are the branches. John 15:5
  • If we stay connected to Jesus, we’ll produce fruit! Galatians 5:22-23
  • The first fruit of followers of Jesus is love. 1 John 4:9-11

Memory Verse:

John 15:5 Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing.

Talk About It
