Exploring Faith in 3D: The Secret to a Fruitful Life - July 19 2026 - Rev. Bob Solon

Jesus teaches that the secret to a fruitful, joyful, and faithful life is staying closely connected to Him.  Jesus is the true vine, and His followers are the branches.  Branches that remain connected to Him bear much fruit; apart from Him they can do nothing.  God lovingly prunes His people so they become even more fruitful.  Remaining in Christ means obeying His Word and living in His love.  Jesus' greatest command is to love one another as He has loved us.  He calls His followers friends, not servants, because He has revealed the Father's heart to them.  The world may reject Christ's followers just as it rejected Him, but the Holy Spirit will testify about Jesus and strengthen them. Main Theme Stay connected to Jesus, and your life will bear lasting fruit through love, obedience, and dependence on Him. Key Verse      "I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing." — John 15:5We would be delighted if you could join us in person for our Sunday morning worship service! It starts at 10 am every Sunday, and there are multiple Sunday School options available before the worship service. Children’s Church is also available during the worship service.Hope Wesleyan Church505 4th Ave NEIndependence, IA 50644
