What does real spiritual fruit actually come from?
In John 15:1–17, Jesus reminds weary disciples, and weary believers, that lasting fruit, deep joy, and genuine love do not come from striving harder, but from remaining connected to Him, the true Vine.
In this sermon, we explore how life flows from union with Christ, how obedience is meant to protect joy rather than diminish it, and how love for one another becomes the visible fruit of a life rooted in grace.
This message is an invitation to stop performing, stop hustling for spiritual results, and return to the only place where life and fruit truly grow—abiding in Christ.
