John 15:1-6
This week, Pastor Ed’s message explores John 15:1-6, emphasizing the importance of staying connected to Jesus, the true vine. He explains that the vine represents God’s rescue, blessing, call to bear fruit, and warning of judgment, all fulfilled in Jesus. Abiding in the vine means having a rooted relationship with Christ, which leads to fruitfulness in identity, Scripture, prayer, obedience, and community. Our connection to Jesus determines our spiritual direction. By remaining in Him, we bear lasting fruit and experience the life we’ve always wanted.
