What does it mean to truly abide in Christ? Pastor Wes opens our new fall series, Becoming Mature: Five Marks of a Healthy Disciple, by taking us deep into John 15 and the powerful imagery of the vine and the branches.One of the most striking truths from the message: not every season of life is a harvest. Sometimes God prunes what is bearing fruit so it can bear even more. Those dry, difficult seasons are not signs of failure. They may be the very work of a loving Father shaping you for greater fruitfulness.The heart of abiding is this -- we do not obey God to earn His love. We obey as a response to it. When the love of Christ takes root in us, it changes our desires, our prayers, and our lives from the inside out. We would love to have you join us next Sunday as this series continues.
