## Resource

Pastor Kevin explores the profound message of abiding in Christ during adversity. Discover how God uses pruning for spiritual growth, shaping us into fruitful branches connected to the true Vine. Strengthen your faith in God by understanding His purpose in every season. Scriptures Referenced Genesis 50:20; 2 Chronicles 36:15-21; Proverbs 3:5-6; Isaiah 5:1-7; Jeremiah 2:21; John 15:1-5; Romans 5:3-5, 8:28-29, 8:38-39, 11:16-18, 2 Corinthians 4:16-18, 12:9; Philippians 2:8-11; Colossians 1:17; James 1:2-4 Key Insights Abiding in Christ during adversity strengthens your faith in God. Pruning is a sign of God’s love and His commitment to your growth. True spiritual growth often comes through discomfort and discipline. Your identity in Christ is unshakeable, even when circumstances change. God’s grip on you sustains you, not your grip on Him. Trusting God doesn’t require understanding every detail of His plan. https://springhouse.captivate.fm/episode/pruned-to-grow Subscribe & Follow the Podcast Download our app Our Website Online Tithes & Offerings Join our Livestream Gathering Times Sundays, 9:00 AM Sundays, 11:00 AM Thursdays, 6:00 PM Contact Info Springhouse Church 14119 Old Nashville Highway Smyrna TN 37167 615-459-3421 CCLI License  2070006
