About this episode

In this episode, Mike discusses what it means to abide in the Lord and the significance of bearing fruit in a Christian's life.

What is success in God's eyes? Do you want a fruitful life? What does it mean to abide in the Lord and for Him to abide in us? In today's episode, Mike responds to listener mail and talks through the scripture on abiding -- what the Lord says and the results of abiding in Him. “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me." -- John chapter 15
