Topic: Obedience, Growth

Book: John

Campus: FishHawk

Scripture: John 15:9-11

Following Jesus can feel heavy when faith turns into pressure, guilt, and constant striving. Many people keep showing up but feel exhausted, behind, or like they’re disappointing God. Jesus invites us into a different way, moving from trying harder to training with Him. Spiritual growth isn’t about earning God’s love or being perfect, it’s about abiding, staying connected. When faith shifts from performance to relationship, joy replaces exhaustion. Obedience isn’t about approval, it’s about experiencing love more fully. You don’t grow for God’s love, you grow from it, and that’s where real freedom, healing, and lasting joy begin.
