The Vineyard- April 15, 2012

The Vineyard
I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. – John 15:5

I Peter 1:1-12
- Peter refers to the genuineness of our faith.  How is our faith tested to see if it is genuine?  How does our faith make itself visible, what results are seen in our everyday life?
- Peter writes that “though we do not see him, we love him”, referring to Christ.  How is it possible to love someone you have never seen?  What makes it difficult at times?
- Sometimes we think about how neat it would be to go back in history for some of the major events.  Did you ever consider that some people in the past would have loved to go forward in time to our day?  What would they have loved to have seen that has taken place in our age?

Jonah 2
 Jonah calls on the Lord when he has nothing else left to do.  How many times have you called on the Lord as a last resort?  Why do we wait so long to trust in God?
-  Many of Jonah’s problems were caused because he was running from God.  When he finally turns to God, things begin to improve.  How have you run from God in your life?  How did returning to Him improve things?  Have you returned to Him?
