This past weekend at Eastbrook, we concluded our preaching series, “I AM: Seven Identity Markers of Jesus,” drawn from the Gospel of John, with Gabriel Douglas exploring Jesus’ statement, “I am the true vine” (John 15:1).

You can find the message outline and video below. You can access the entire series here. Join us for weekend worship in-person or remotely via Eastbrook at Home.

Dig Deeper

This week dig deeper in one or more of the following ways:

  • Memorize John 15:1
  • Both this week and last week’s messages are drawn from the Upper Room discourse (John 13-16). Take time to read and ponder this entire teaching of Jesus in one sitting. What stands out to you from this passage? What do you learn about the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit? How would you describe the Jesus way from what you read here?
