About this episode

This episode explores the importance of abiding in Christ as described in John 15:1-17, emphasizing the need to stay connected to Jesus to bear fruit in our lives.

Jesus is the vine, and we are the branches. And in order to bear fruit, we must stay connected to the vine. Because we cannot live out God’s purpose for our lives if we don’t. And in today’s Bible study, we’re looking at John 15, where Jesus gives 2 essential instructions: to abide in Him, and to continue in His love.
