The Trellis and the Vine

In Isaiah 5, the Song of the Vineyard explains that God set his people up for success by providing them a context for growth. But despite the work, the vine refused to grow and God's judgement was coming. As we think about our mission as a local church for Kick-off Sunday, Kyle challenged the congregation to take advantage of the "trellis" of the programming at First Reformed. We trust God that by doing so, people will grow spiritually and bear fruit. This sermon also unveils the Life@First Map and the SBS framework for discipleship.
