Who We Are: Deep Roots. Lasting Fruit.


Listen Later

In this message from John 15, we explore what it means to build a life that endures. Jesus reminds us that lasting fruit never comes from effort alone, but from staying connected to the true source of life. Shallow faith may look healthy for a season, but only deep roots can withstand storms and produce fruit that lasts.

This sermon unpacks the difference between being near Jesus and abiding in Him, the slow rhythms that form spiritual depth, and why pruning, though painful, is often God’s way of preparing us for greater growth. Along the way, we’re reminded that discipleship is intentional, community is essential, and the fruit God grows in our lives is meant to bless others, especially in our homes, and to glorify Him for generations to come.

Deep roots are not built by accident, and lasting fruit doesn’t grow overnight. When we remain in Christ, God does a steady, faithful work that endures long after we are gone.
