Carolyn Slaughter As part of The Perfect Summer
Series, Ginghamsburg Church is presenting seven great
speakers who are leading their churches as they reach out
in proclaiming God’s word. This week’s guest
speaker, Daryl Ward, leads Omega Baptist Church, one of
the most dynamic and fastest growing congregations in
Dayton, Ohio. Since 1988, Omega Church has exploded from
88 people to over 2100. Daryl is a nationally sought
after preacher, seminar speaker and lecturer at
universities around the country. He hosts two radio
programs, a talk show and has a broadcast ministry which
is seen throughout Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky. You will
agree Daryl speaks with the power and passion of a man on
fire for God.Daryl Ward  I bring you greetings from the
Omega Baptist Church in Dayton, Ohio and give greetings
in his absence to Mike Slaughter, my good friend. I just
thank God to be with you all again. Would you pray with
me? God we love you and we praise you. May the words of
my mouth and the meditation of our hearts be acceptable
in your sight, Oh Lord, our strength, our rock, and our
redeemer. Amen.I
am delighted also to have some of our staff with us. We
want to learn as much as we can about how you do things
at Ginghamsburg, because you’re such a blessing, not
only to this community but to this country. My son,
Joshua, is with me today. Last year on this day I said
that my son Joshua is with me up there somewhere. I
actually meant in the loft. I understand someone said,
"Aw, isn’t it too bad about Daryl’s
son?" He’s down here with me today. Thanks be
to God.I. The True Vine |

| John 15:1-15 1: I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. 2: Every branch of mine that bears no fruit, he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. 3: You are already made clean by the word which I have spoken to you. 4: Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. 5: I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in me, and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. 6: If a man does not abide in me, he is cast forth as a branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire and burned. 7: If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you will, and it shall be done for you 8: By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be my disciples. |
 In John
the 15th chapter I’ll read a few verses for you,
beginning in verse one."I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. Every branch of mine that bears no fruit, he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. You are already made clean by the word which I have spoken to you. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in me, and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. If a man does not abide in me, he is cast forth as a branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire and burned. If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you will, and it shall be done for you. By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be my disciples. As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you; abide in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his love. These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full. This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you. No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing, but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you." |
