This sermon invites us to welcome God’s refining fire—not as punishment, but as love. Jesus is committed to forming a church that is holy, radiant, and ready for His presence.

In Philippians 4:18–20 and Ephesians 5:6–20, we’re invited to live as worshippers in all of life — not just in song, but in our obedience, sacrifice, and joy. Paul reminds us that our offerings are “a fragrant aroma” pleasing to God, and that true worship shapes the way we walk, speak, and give thanks daily.

As we await the day Christ returns, Scripture calls us to stand firm, reject empty voices, be filled with the Spirit, and live lives marked by praise.

In this message, Pastor John Beohm unpacks Jesus’ words in John 15:1–8: “I am the true vine.” What does it mean to remain in Him, and why is He the only true source of life and growth?

We live in a world full of competing “vines” that promise fulfillment but leave us empty. Jesus makes a radical claim—that lasting fruit, real joy, and true transformation only come by abiding in Him.
