Pruned For More

In the final message of our Take Root, Bear Fruit series, Pastor Claire teaches from John 15:1–8 on what it means to be pruned by God. Pruning isn’t punishment—it’s preparation for new growth. Just as a gardener cuts away diseased or overgrown branches so that a plant can flourish, God lovingly works in our lives to make room for His Spirit to bear more fruit.

This message invites us to trust the hands of the Gardener, even in seasons that feel like loss, and to practice Sabbath—a rhythm of pruning our work and striving to make space for rest, worship, and delight in God.
