This Sunday, Pastor Jon taught from John 15 and offered a different diagnosis for burnout. While our instinct is often to assume we've simply given too much, he challenged us with another possibility: the problem isn't output but source. We haven't been drawing from the right one. When Jesus calls himself the True Vine, it's one of the most sweeping claims He ever makes. From that foundation, Pastor Jon walked through what abiding actually looks like. It's not about a longer quiet time or more spiritual disciplines, it's about a relationship. Using his own early days dating his now-wife, Christy, as an illustration, he reminded us that abiding is less about effort and more about the security and overflow of a relationship you're already in. That's the kind of intimacy Jesus is inviting us into, and for those who remain in His love and rely on the Spirit's power, the promise is fruit that lasts.

Pastor Randy continued the Book of John sermon series with a sermon titled , "Who is Jesus? "The True Vine." from John 15:1-25. Jesus, the True Vine, calls us to be: 1. FRUITFUL. (vs. 1-8) 2. FRIENDS. (vs. 9-17) 3. FAITHFUL. (vs. 18-25)
Abiding in the true vine gives the Christian all they require for a fruitful joyous life.
Today's Message is from John 15: 1-8 NLT.
In this message we explore what Jesus meant when He said, “I am the vine, ye are the branches.” We will examine the background of the vine in Scripture, the meaning of abiding in Christ, the pruning work of the Father, and the fruit that flows from a life truly connected to Him.
We live in a world obsessed with productivity. We treat ourselves like machines, trying to output success through stress and hustle. But Jesus doesn't treat us like machines; He treats us like branches.In this sermon on John 15, we explore the difference between "Production" and "Fruit." Discover why striving in your own strength leads to burnout, and how "abiding" in the True Vine is the only secret to a life that lasts.#John15 #Abide #Burnout #TrueVine #Christianity
Dwell on the truth that in Jesus we live and move and have our being. To simply rest as a branch of the Vine, is to trust that we will be fed from the root. Our leaves will not wither and what we do will prosper. We will bear the fruit of the vine as long as we remain a part of it, and it a part of us.Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO North America.

In this sermon, Pastor Dave begins a new focus on being a “community on mission” by turning to Jesus' words in John 15. He unpacks what it means for Christ to be the True Vine and for believers to abide in Him, showing why this calling is both essential and difficult. Through images of pruning, fruit, and friendship with Jesus, this message reveals how lasting joy and faithful mission flow not from doing more for God, but from staying deeply connected to Him together.
February 1, 2026 Morning Service. Part of the Communion Sunday series. (John 15:1-11)
At the end of John 14 Jesus declares, "My peace I give to you... Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid" (John 14:27). Then in John 15 Jesus gives a beautiful illustration of how His disciples lives would be deeply dependent on His own life. He declared, "I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing" (John 15:5). Join us as we unpack these very powerful truths!
Pastor JT continues our series in John 15. Jesus is calling us to abide with Him. The fruitful life can only be found connected to the True Vine, the giver and the gift.

“Backsliding” • Hebrews 6:4-9 – Elder Bryce Lowrance In a passage very similar to the “I Am the True Vine” teaching in John 15, the Apostle Paul warns born again children of God to do turn away from the truth and peace that is in the gospel of Jesus Christ. Those who do are not in danger of losing their eternal salvation but they will fill their lives with destruction and sorrow apart from the fellowship of God. Paul also warns that this condition can get so bad that, apart from Divine intervention, they cannot be convinced to repent and return to their Christian walk. Part 2 begins with a partner text in Ephesians 1. This message was preached on Sunday, June 30, 2024.

Are you producing fruit… or just staying busy?This week's message, “Remain in Him,” takes us into Jesus' words in John 15 — where He reminds us that real spiritual life doesn't come from effort, activity, or good intentions, but from connection.Jesus doesn't call us to strive harder.He calls us to remain.In a culture that celebrates independence and self-sufficiency, Jesus speaks a countercultural truth:“Apart from Me, you can do nothing.”We'll explore what it means to abide in Christ, why pruning is part of God's loving care, and how lasting fruit only grows from a living connection with the True Vine.If you've ever felt spiritually tired, dry, or disconnected — this message is for you.
Pastor Darrell continues to look at John 15:1-17 where we are called to abide in Christ, the True Vine, who is the source of love, our nourishment, and our fruit-bearing life. We are encouraged to ask ourselves: What are some false vines you find yourself especially vulnerable to, rather than the True Vine, who is Jesus?

What does real spiritual fruit actually come from?In John 15:1–17, Jesus reminds weary disciples, and weary believers, that lasting fruit, deep joy, and genuine love do not come from striving harder, but from remaining connected to Him, the true Vine. In this sermon, we explore how life flows from union with Christ, how obedience is meant to protect joy rather than diminish it, and how love for one another becomes the visible fruit of a life rooted in grace.This message is an invitation to stop performing, stop hustling for spiritual results, and return to the only place where life and fruit truly grow—abiding in Christ.

Send us a textAs we reach the final day of our Christmas Advent series, we turn our eyes fully and finally to Jesus Himself.In this closing devotion, we sit with the seven “I Am” statements found in the Gospel of John — Jesus' own words revealing who He is: the Bread of Life, the Light of the World, the Gate, the Good Shepherd, the Resurrection and the Life, the Way, the Truth and the Life, and the True Vine.Whether your Christmas season has been full or heavy, joyful or exhausting, this episode calls us back to what truly sustains us — Christ at the centre.As we prepare to step into a new year, we are reminded that Jesus is not only who we need at Christmas, but who we need every day.“Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28)Jesus says: Come to Me.
Jesus invites us to remain in him by living out his command to love others the way he loves us. And when we do, we stay connected to the Vine, who strengthens our lives so that we might bear lasting fruit.
