In this encouraging episode, Pastor Juan Espino dives into John 15:1–8, reminding us of Jesus’ invitation to remain in Him—the true vine. Just as branches depend on the vine for life, strength, and fruitfulness, we too can only fulfill our purpose when we stay connected to Jesus.
Pastor Juan reaffirms the loving care of the Father, who tends to us as the gardener—pruning, shaping, and cleansing us through His Word. As 2 Timothy 3:16–17 teaches, God’s Word equips us, corrects us, and prepares us for every good work. Though the process of pruning may not always feel easy, it is through it that we grow stronger, bear fruit, and reflect His character more fully.
This message also reminds us that remaining in Christ is much like being part of the body of Christ described in 1 Corinthians 12 and Ephesians 4. Just as the body must stay united and connected to the Head—who is Christ—we, too, must remain rooted in Him and connected to one another. Only together, abiding in the same Spirit, can we grow and mature into the fullness of God’s purpose for His people.
