Don't live on old fruit.

God didn't save us so we could spend the rest of our lives talking about what He did ten years ago.

Jesus calls us to abide.
And abiding produces fruit.

Love.
Joy.
Peace.
Longsuffering.
Gentleness.
Goodness.
Faith.
Meekness.
Temperance.

What is God developing in you right now?

What if the thing God wants to remove from our life isn't bad?

We tend to ask:
“Is this wrong?”

But sometimes the better question is:
“Is this helping me bear more fruit?”

The Vinedresser knows what the branch needs.
Trust the Vinedresser.

Do we trust the Vinedresser?

It's easy to trust God when He's adding something to our lives.
But what happens when He starts taking something away?

John 15 teaches us that the Father is the Vinedresser. He cultivates. He prunes. He determines what stays and what goes.

Sometimes God's pruning isn't removing something sinful.
Sometimes He's removing something that is simply keeping us from bearing more fruit.

The question is:
Do I trust the Father enough to let Him work in me, on me, and through me?

John 15:1-14

What a great start to Revival! 🙌 We kicked things off Saturday night with a great outing at the Lake County Captains. Then on Sunday, we enjoyed wonderful choir and special music, along with two great messages from God’s Word.

We’re excited for the next three days of "Junior Revival" for 4-year-olds to middle school running alongside our main services! Pray that God will work in the hearts and lives of our young people—and in the hearts and lives of the whole family! 🙏

I’m so thankful for this transparent testimony.

Over the last couple of months, as we’ve watched two prominent preachers fall, we’ve discussed in our home the danger of growing up in a Christian environment and missing our real need for Christ.

When you don’t grow up around Christianity, your sin can be very clear, and the change at salvation can be very evident. But when you grow up in church, hear Bible preaching, and are surrounded by Christian people, it can be easy to become familiar with Christianity without ever truly recognizing your own sin and need for a Savior.

Have your children in church. Give them a biblical home. Surround them with God’s Word. But don’t mistake a Christian environment for genuine salvation.

It is possible to have Jesus’ truth all around you and still miss Jesus Himself.

We need to pray for our children without ceasing!
