Are you truly abiding in Christ—or just hanging around Him?

In John 15:1–8, Jesus declares, “I am the true vine,” and calls His disciples to remain in Him if they are to bear fruit that lasts. In this urgent and beautiful metaphor, Jesus shows us the reality of spiritual union, the Father’s loving pruning, and the fatal danger of fruitlessness. In this sermon, Pastor Sebastian Petz unpacks what it means to be truly connected to Christ—and what happens when we’re not.

You’ll discover that the goal isn’t just spiritual productivity… it’s relational abiding. The Father doesn’t prune to harm us—He prunes to grow us. And apart from Christ, we can do nothing.

Join us as we walk verse-by-verse through this powerful passage and explore how to live a rooted, reliant, and fruitful life in Christ.
