Whether you make New Year’s resolutions or not, you probably have areas of your life that you would like to change. But the path to change, as we all know, isn’t always an easy one. It can be difficult to break old habits, make new ones, and incorporate fresh rhythms into our lives. In this week’s message from John 15, Pastor J.D. helps us to see that our growth as disciples isn’t a matter of steeling ourselves and willing new routines and habits into existence. Rather, this growth is a natural byproduct of abiding in Jesus as he abides in us. And it is this true connection to Jesus that will produce fruit that lasts into eternity.
