Pastor Jim Ellis turns to John 15:12–14 to explore how Jesus prunes our lives so that we can truly fulfill His commandment to love one another. While pruning can be painful, it is the process God uses to shape a community defined by sacrificial, life-laying-down love. Moving from abiding to action, we are invited to actively co-labor with God in the world.
