Abide To Grow
Manage episode 523317855 series 2993661
We reflect on John 15 and explore how real growth comes from abiding in Christ, not from striving or self-reliance. Through context, imagery, and simple practices, we show how connection produces natural fruit like patience, clarity, and peace.
• the vine and branches as the core metaphor
• why effort without connection leads to spiritual dryness
• how remain in me means ongoing relationship
• cultural meaning of vineyards and fruitfulness
• three simple practices to reconnect with Jesus
• a short, guided closing prayer for renewal
Jesus, I thank you for being the true vine. Help me remain connected to you today. Let your life, your strength, and your peace flow into every part of my heart. Produce in me the fruit I cannot create on my own. And teach me to depend on you in all things. Amen.
