Pain is never easy—but what if it’s not punishment, but pruning? In this message, we’ll explore Jesus’ teaching in John 15 to uncover the truth: that God prunes those He loves to bring greater fruit in their lives. Instead of resisting hardship, we’ll learn how to recognize the hand of the loving Gardener and partner with the Holy Spirit’s transforming work—so that righteousness, peace, and joy can flourish in us and through us.

What if the secret to a blessed, fruitful life isn’t about doing more—but about what (and who) you walk away from? Psalm 1 offers a surprising path to lasting growth. Come discover the quiet power that changes everything.

Join us this week with a new message from our special guest speaker John Elmer, from the Syracuse Vineyard!

What if church wasn’t a stage for a few, but a place where everyone has a part to play? What if the Spirit of God is inviting you—right now—to get off the sidelines and into the story? This week, discover the deep joy of knowing you’re not just invited to watch, but empowered to participate. Because the Kingdom isn’t built by professionals—it’s built by people like you, showing up, saying yes, and stepping into the game. Through honest stories and gentle challenge, we’re reminded that following Jesus was never meant to be passive. It’s personal, it’s practical, and it’s meant to be shared. You don’t need a platform to make an impact—you just need a heart willing to play.
