What It Means to Abide in Jesus (John 15 Explained)
What does it really mean to abide in Jesus? In this episode, we dive deep into John 15:1–11, where Jesus calls Himself the True Vine and invites us to stay connected to Him as branches that bear fruit.
We explore the powerful truth that Jesus is the only source of true life, growth, and joy, and that apart from Him, we can do nothing. You’ll hear about the dangers of connecting your life to counterfeit “vines” like performance, approval, comfort, or religion—and discover the freedom of simply remaining in Christ.
You’ll also learn:
Why God prunes the fruitful—and how that process prepares you for even greater growth
How to cultivate a daily rhythm of abiding in Jesus
The difference between trying harder and staying connected
How fruitfulness flows not from effort, but from intimacy
This message will challenge and encourage you to stop striving and start abiding.
Your job isn’t to perform—it’s to remain.
🗝️ “Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself… neither can you, unless you abide in Me.” — John 15:4
