What if one tiny word shaped the entire witness of the Church?

Jesus said: “By this all people will know that you are my disciples—if you love one another.” (John 13:35)

That "IF" is doing a lot of work.

It means our witness isn’t automatic. It means the world will know we follow Jesus—not by our doctrine, our worship, or our branding—but if we love one another.

In this message, we explore:

💥 Why Jesus made love the non-negotiable evidence of discipleship

💥 What keeps us from loving like He loved

💥 How love transforms ordinary churches into communities that reflect Christ to the world

You might think this is Christianity 101—but sometimes the most basic truths are the ones we most need to return to.

Do you feel disconnected from God or like your faith is running dry?

Maybe you carry a quiet sense that something’s missing… that all your effort still leaves you exhausted, restless, or stuck in survival mode. Jesus offers something better.

He says, “I am the True Vine, and my Father is the Gardener.” These ancient words speak directly to our lives today: life apart from Jesus will always leave us dry and disconnected. But when we remain in Him, we discover a renewal that runs deep—one that transforms not only us but also the world around us.

We’ll explore what it means to abide in Jesus, trust God’s pruning hand, and bear fruit that truly lasts.

If you're longing to thrive again, come hear how God's love, a love like no other, meets us in the wilderness and draws us back into the life he calls us to live.

John 15:1-17

No Greater Love

This Sunday we celebrate Pentecost—the Church’s birthday and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. In today’s world, “freedom” gets tossed around as doing whatever we please, rejecting authority, even discarding moral boundaries. But when Paul declares that “where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom” (2 Cor 3:17), he isn’t talking about license—he’s pointing to the Gospel’s true liberty.

In this message, you’ll discover:

• How Isaiah 61 lays the foundation for Spirit-empowered freedom—freedom from poverty, mourning, and bondage, and freedom for healing, hope, and mission.

• The way Jesus inaugurated that Isaiah promise in his ministry—bringing good news to the poor, binding up the brokenhearted, and lifting every yoke.

• What it looks like today to live under the Spirit’s liberating reign—calling us both to embrace God’s grace and to step into the work of justice and compassion.
