Dr. Tony Young Jr. delivers a timely message from John 15:1–8, where Jesus declares, “I am the true vine.” He reminds us that spiritual pruning—though painful—is necessary for growth. Just as a gardener trims away what hinders a plant, God lovingly removes the things in our lives that block us from bearing fruit.
Are we truly abiding in Christ, or just attending church? Dr. Young examines the difference, highlighting the fruit of the Spirit in Galatians 5 and challenging us to pursue deeper connection with Jesus. If you’ve ever wondered why hardship persists or how to know you’re growing in your faith, this message offers powerful insight and encouragement, calling us to surrender, be pruned, and thrive.
