Ever feel like you're doing all the right Christian things but not necessarily growing closer to God?
You attend church, pray, read Scripture, and genuinely love Jesus. Yet sometimes your spiritual life feels stuck, distracted, or disconnected.
What if spiritual growth isn't primarily about doing more—but about learning to live differently?
Join us for The Table, a welcoming online Bible study where we'll explore what Jesus actually teaches about spiritual growth.

### This Week: The Secret to a Growing Christian Life

We'll study John 15:1–11, where Jesus describes Himself as the true vine and His followers as the branches.
Together, we'll explore:

  • What does it really mean to abide in Christ?
  • Why do sincere Christians sometimes struggle to grow spiritually?
  • What's the relationship between spiritual disciplines and genuine transformation?
  • How can we cultivate a deeper relationship with Jesus amid everyday responsibilities?

### What to Expect

  • 30 minutes of engaging, substantive Bible teaching
  • 15 minutes of meaningful discussion
  • 15 minutes of fellowship and prayer
