Life by a Thousand Cuts - John 15:1–11

Life is not designed to avoid pain.
It is designed to be shaped by it.

In this week’s Weekly Jumpstart, Pastor John Widdifield teaches from John 15:1–11, where Jesus describes Himself as the true vine and the Father as the vinedresser.

Scripture makes a sober claim: you will be cut.
The only question is whether those cuts will slowly kill you—or make you alive.

This sermon explores the difference between death by a thousand cuts (life apart from Christ) and life by a thousand prunings (life abiding in Christ). It addresses suffering, anxiety, spiritual drift, pruning, and why modern attempts to numb pain cannot heal what only union with Christ can restore.

This is not a gentle faith.
But it is a good one.
