In John 17:12-26 we see that Jesus sends His followers into the world as a distinct people, filled with His joy and set apart by His truth, to make Him known.

In this week’s sermon extra, Pastors Nick and Michael discuss The Gospel of John 15:2 and whether the things removed from our lives are always the work of the Lord, the result of living in a fallen world, or sometimes both. They also explore the idea of “liberating constraints” — how God can use limits, loss, and pruning to shape us into healthier and more fruitful people.
