Abide: Staying Connected to the Vine
•
James Douglas
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this message from Gospel of John 15, we explore Jesus’ call to “abide.” He is the Vine—we are the branches. Our job isn’t to strive harder or clean ourselves up, but to stay connected to Him.
Discover how distraction keeps us from abiding, why fruit only comes through surrender, and how obedience flows from love—not legalism. When we remain in Jesus, the Father prunes, lifts, and produces lasting fruit in us.
Apart from Him, we can do nothing. But in Him, we find joy, strength, and life.
