Vine & Branches: A Study in John 15 | Week 5 – Formed by Love | August 24, 2025
Sermon Description:
So many things in life affect and shape and form us, from the family we grew up in to the experiences (both good and bad) that we’ve had. Even the world around us, with all its good and bad - can shape us more than we often realize. But in John 15, Jesus invites us to be shaped by the most powerful (and healthy) force in the Universe - the love of His Father. And this has practical edges, this invitation. We explore how Jesus’ invitation to remain in His love means we can take off our masks, stop hiding, and experience joy that lasts. This message explores how honesty and fidelity root us deeply in Christ so His love can shape us from the inside out.
