Tom Logue - August 30th 2026 What would your life look like if you really believed Jesus when He said, “Apart from me you can do nothing”? As we continue exploring Who We Are and the values that shape our church, we come to our third value: Dependence. Like a child depends on a loving father, followers of Jesus were made to live in continual dependence on God—not relying on our own strength, wisdom, or resources. In John 15, Jesus gives us the picture of the vine and the branches and repeatedly calls His disciples to remain in Him. To stay with Him. To live every part of life aware of His presence, seeking His guidance, and relying on His power. Because self-reliance doesn't lead to freedom—it leads to withering. But when we remain with Jesus, He produces the spiritual fruit in us that we could never produce on our own. Jesus didn't just teach this kind of dependence—He modeled it. And for those who are in Christ, the same Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead now lives in us. What might change if, instead of relying on yourself, you learned to stay with Jesus and depend on Him in everything you do?
