In his TGCW24 message, David Platt teaches Jesus’s final “I am” statement from John 15:1–11, which Jesus spoke to his disciples on the night he was betrayed.

Jesus calls all believers to abide in him like a branch remains in its vine, drawing everything we need from him. We don’t rely on our obedience to save or sanctify us; we rely on the finished work of Jesus, depending fully on him. Because apart from him, we can do nothing. He is the true vine.

Platt teaches the following:

Childlike boldness and the will of God
The metaphor of the vine
Jesus as the true vine
Experiencing abundant life in Jesus
The role of prayer and meditation
The battle for belief and trust
Bearing fruit for the world
