This weekend, Pastor Greg reminds us that true discipleship starts with
abiding in Christ—staying connected to the Vine. In a culture that
celebrates independence, Jesus calls us to something radically different:
complete dependence on Him. In John 15, Jesus says, “Apart from Me, you can
do nothing.” That’s not limitation—it’s freedom. Spiritual independence
leads to separation, struggle, and ultimately, withering. But when we
abide—when we trust, rest, and rely on Jesus—we bear fruit, grow in truth,
and experience real liberty. Don’t buy the lie that strength comes from
self-reliance. Strength comes from surrender. Dependence on Jesus is where
true freedom begins. #NoIndependence #AbideInChrist #TrueFreedom #John15
