Trying Harder Isn’t Working | Loving God On Purpose | John 15 | Wednesday, April 1, 2026

Why does spiritual growth feel so frustrating sometimes? In this message from John 15, we look at Jesus’ teaching on the vine and the branches and why trying harder is never the same thing as abiding in Christ. A lot of people stay busy spiritually but still feel dry, disconnected, and stuck in the same patterns. This sermon walks through what real connection to Christ actually looks like, how God uses His Word to cleanse and shape us, and why lasting fruit only comes through abiding. Because without Him, we can do nothing.
