Sermon Scripture: John 15:1-8

As Jesus describes himself as The Vine, and his friends as the branches, he is giving his followers key principles for finding peace and purpose in life — especially when things seem dark, bleak, or shallow.

When you and I today consider how to live and love as best we can in the midst of challenging circumstances, Jesus is reminding us that true satisfaction, true success, comes from intimacy in relationship with Jesus. And a beautiful byproduct of this kind of living is that we then are enabled to fulfill our purpose, to bear fruit.
