Finding Ministry and Freedom in the Midst of Suffering

What would most people say Christians do? Pray, read the Bible, make disciples, give generously, forgive, love, serve, go to church, and share the gospel. In our new series, “ABIDE”, JP looks to John 15 to focus our thoughts on a true disciple is one who abides in Jesus and fruit is produced. We also learn when we are pruned, bring it to God and trust him to teach you to abide in Him and bear more fruit.

John 15:1-8

The Father prunes fruitful branches

The Son produces fruit

The fruit of the Spirit proves a disciple
