In this message from The Upper Room series, we explore Jesus’ powerful teaching in John 15:1–17, where He invites us to stop striving and start abiding. Using the image of the vine and branches, Jesus shows us that true life, growth, and love come not from religious performance, but from staying connected to Him. We’ll discover what it means to abide in Christ daily, trust God through the pruning process, bear lasting fruit, and live from the deep assurance that we are fully loved and called His friends. This is more than a message—it’s an invitation to make your home in Jesus.
