Crossroads Worship | How to Bear Fruit
We all want fruit. Not just that stuff that gets baked into a muffin, the good stuff: love, joy, peace, patience, and all that. But every gardener knows if you really want your vines to give you the best stuff, it's gotta be pruned first.
This week, our Campus Pastors walk us through an immersive experience that show you how you can remain connected to the True Vine, and how that will get us to that real fruit that you're wanting.
Recorded live at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Lord, I recognize that those words are presumptive, that all of us, it could seem like singing those words doesn't mean that we're all in a place of just immediate trust, that we don't question anything. you're doing. But that's not true. Some of us in this room have doubts. My prayer is that we wouldn't allow those doubts to pull us away from you, but that it would cause us to ask more questions. God, why does life look like this? Why is this situation happening? Why is this cancer present, God? Will I ever get through it? Would we come to you? Because you said, if we seek, we will find. And that's in every season. Whether things are rough or whether we're on the mountaintop. God, will we learn to trust you? Will we learn to lean on you? Because when we lean on you, that's where our safety is. That's where peace and comfort is. So we thank you for all you have available to us. But we lean into you more today. It's in Jesus name I pray. Amen. Amen. I love it when we get to sing together in this room. It's a special time. Hey, if you're new or this is your first time, I want you to know I love that you came. And what I'm getting ready to say, maybe you can tune me out a little bit. Because while this weekend is different than the norm, there's something we do every weekend for those of us who call this place home. We trust God with our money so that we can give to the incredible things he's doing in the city, in our church, and in the world. You know, and it's a discipline to walk with him every day and to walk with him
with our pocketbooks. And I do that. It's a discipline I put in place because it helps me to grow in my reliance to God. And if I can test it, I can trust it. And he's proven time and time and again that he's trustworthy, that he's got me. So if you want to join that with me, you can do that at Crossroads.net slash give. I'm so glad you're here. Hey, why don't you turn to someone, give them your credit card number real quick and your account number. No, just tell them, hey, we're a big family and you can have a seat.
