Following Jesus is not a self improvement project where spiritual fruit exists only to make our own lives easier. In “For Him. For Them.,” Part 10 of From the Vine, Pastor Josh Hersey teaches from John 15 that the work of a disciple is not to force fruit, but to abide in Jesus. When we remain connected to the Vine, His patience, love, generosity, and compassion begin to flow through us for the good of the people around us.

Through the story of Zacchaeus in Luke 19, we see that Jesus seeks people others overlook, calls them by name, and brings salvation into places religious people may avoid. This Christian sermon explores what it means to love people sacrificially, share your faith without having every answer, tell your testimony, identify your “plus one,” and let your light shine through practical acts of service. No one is too far gone for Jesus, and every follower of Christ has someone they can love, serve, invite, and point toward Him.

Have you ever wondered what it means to abide in Christ, how to share the gospel naturally, or how to reach someone who is close to you but far from God? This message offers a biblical and practical answer. Who is your plus one, and what step can you take to help them experience the hope and love of Jesus?
