Making Disciples, Reaching the Nations.

The True Vine

Brian Mathews • August 30, 2026 • John 15:1-17

Pastor Brian Mathews preached from John 15:1–17, where Jesus declares, “I am the true vine.” Spoken to his disciples on the night before his crucifixion, this passage calls the church to abide in Christ, trusting that apart from him we can do nothing — and that a life connected to the vine is a life that bears real, lasting fruit.
