In this 8-part series, Dr. Youssef explores the seven “I AM” statements of Jesus in the Gospel of John. Each message reveals Christ’s divinity and His exclusive role in our salvation—from the Bread of Life and the Light of the World to the Good Shepherd, the True Vine, and the Resurrection and the Life. Through these bold declarations, Dr. Youssef unpacks how Jesus alone provides spiritual nourishment, guidance, protection, Truth, and eternal life. This series invites you to deepen your understanding of who Jesus is—and to experience the life only He can give.  

In I Am the True Vine, Dr. Michael Youssef declares Christ as the only source of true spiritual life and fruitfulness. Preaching from John 15, Dr. Youssef exposes the barren religiosity that looks fruitful on the outside but bears no eternal results. Only those who abide in Christ—who cling to Him in obedience—will bear lasting fruit. But fruitfulness comes at a cost: the Father lovingly prunes His people to make them more fruitful. This message confronts shallow faith and calls believers to repentance, holiness, and accountability. Jesus is not one of many vines—He is the True Vine, and apart from Him, we can do nothing.
