Drawing from John 15:1-9, Luke 6:39-40 and John Mark Comer’s *Practicing the Way*, this preach explores the deep spiritual truth that transformation doesn’t come through striving harder, but through *abiding deeper* in Christ.Spiritual formation is intentional, not accidental. Jesus calls us not just to do things *for* Him, but to be *with* Him. Abiding in Christ is the foundation of becoming like Christ. Practices like prayer, silence, Sabbath, and community aren’t burdens—they’re lifelines.Whether you're single, married, working, retired in school, or simply navigating modern life, you’ll be encouraged to slow down, be present, and abide in the love of Jesus.Where is your life abiding today? In Christ—or in distraction, hurry, and self-sufficiency?
