Guest speaker Pastor Stu Hodges takes us to John 15, where Jesus teaches that a joyful life is a fruitful life—but the key isn’t working harder, it’s staying connected. Through the picture of the vine and branches, we discover that fruit comes not from striving but from remaining in Jesus, our source. If you’ve ever felt the pressure to do more and earn your way to joy, this message is an invitation to stop striving and simply stay connected.
