Identity leads naturally to purpose. Once we know who we are, we start asking what we're for. Jesus answers that question with a vivid image: a vine and its branches. We were created to be connected — to draw life from Him, to bear fruit through Him, and to find our fullest purpose not in achievement but in abiding. This message explores what it means to live a life rooted in Christ, and why the pursuit of purpose apart from Him always leaves us coming up short.
