I Am the True Vine | Therefore I Am | Pastor Jurie Kriel | Shoreline Church | Message

We were never designed to thrive apart from the source. In this powerful message, Pastor Jurie continues the “I Am, Therefore I Am” series by diving into one of the most vivid images Jesus gives us: “I am the True Vine.” We explore what it means to be *grafted into Christ*, to *abide in Him*, and to let His life flow through us so we can *bear lasting fruit*.

From ancient Israel’s struggles as God’s vineyard to modern examples of resilience and restoration, this message will help you understand how Jesus provides the strength, nourishment, and connection we need to live fruitful lives.

God doesn’t just want us to survive—He wants us to flourish.
When Jesus said “I am the True Vine,” He wasn’t offering a metaphor—He was revealing a vital truth: we can’t bear fruit without staying connected to Him.

We are invited to abide. To grow. To be pruned. To bear fruit that glorifies the Father.
