This past Sunday, my wife, Pastor Carolyn, gave an inspiring message about the importance of abiding in Christ. In this article today, I look forward to sharing some of Carolyn’s inspiring key points and her heartfelt story of abiding in Jesus, highlighting an important message about discipleship. I Am the Vine, and You Are the Branches (John 15:1-17) Jesus said in John 15:4, “Abide in me, and I in you. As a branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me.” (NKJV)
