068. Pruning for Fruit Bearing (John 15:1-6)
Dec 06, 2025
Waking up to Grace
We challenge the fear that hardship equals punishment and show how John 15 reframes trials as pruning for more fruit. We press into abiding as believing, freedom from guilt through the finished work of Christ, and a humble dependence that endures.
• abiding as active belief and dependence
• pruning as spiritual growth, not punishment
• lessons from gardening applied to John 15
• fruit that remains into eternity
• weakness as the place God’s power is strong
• freedom from guilt through the finished work of Christ
• different yields from the same faithful vine
• praying for pruning over seeking more forgiveness
