This week, co-lead pastor Alex preached the next sermon in our series called Follow me: What it means to be a disciple of Jesus. He walked us through John 15:1-17 where we see the famous instructions of Jesus to remain in him, the True Vine. From these versus we first unpacked what it actually means to remain or abide in Jesus; using the words of A. W. Tozer as a helpful guide, "habitual, conscious communion with God." Then we talked about the beauty of remaining with God, which is that we actually get to personally KNOW the living God! What an amazing reality! Lastly, remaining in Jesus affords us the privilege of bearing fruit according to our passage! What a joy it is to know that our God, despite our weakness and shortcomings has given us a way to know him intimately and become like him increasingly through the power of the Holy Spirit.
