John 15: 9-17 | By the love of Jesus, we are called friends. With Christ as our vine, we are invited to live as branches, firmly attached to God’s abiding promises. But attached to the vine, we also find ourselves surrounded by many, many other branches. So what does that mean for our lives together as a community? Join us as we consider the messy love that Jesus calls us to as we live together as one vine.
