Don't Dip

What does it look like to stay connected to Jesus when everything in you wants to pull away?

In this message from our series **The Gospel of John: What Does He Really Offer?**, Pastor Keith continues through John 15:1–17 with a message titled **“Don’t Dip.”**

Jesus describes Himself as the true Vine and reminds us that a fruitful Christian life doesn’t come from striving harder—it comes from remaining connected to Him.

**Bottom Line:** Fruitfulness is the byproduct of faithfulness.

🌿 **In this message:**
• The temptation to dip is often strongest when remaining matters most.
• Don’t mistake the Vinedresser’s help for harm.
• The evidence of remaining in Jesus is a life expressing itself in love toward others.

**John 15:5** — “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.”

As you listen, consider this question: **Where am I most tempted to disconnect instead of remain?**

Whether you’re walking through a difficult season, feeling disconnected from God, struggling to understand what He’s doing, or simply wanting to grow deeper in your faith, we pray this message encourages you to remain rooted in Jesus and trust the work God is doing in your life.

🙏 **May your life be marked by love, joy, faithfulness, and the lasting fruit that comes from abiding in Christ.**
