Vine & Branches: A Study in John 15 | Week 3 – The Art of Remaining | August 10, 2025

Sermon Description:

In a world full of distractions (and advertisements) it seems like something always trying to grab our attention, with the promise of a better life.  And at one point or another, all of us face that restless desire to escape where we are and chase something more—something that feels important (transcendent, even!).  But often those roads are dead-ends.

In John 15, Jesus invites us to remain in Him. Not hustle harder. Not find a better life somewhere else. But to stay rooted in Him—because that’s the only way to bear real, lasting fruit.  But how do we remain in a world of distractions, desires, and dopamine? How do we stay close when everything in us wants to wander?
