#2 - How Disciples Grow

In this message, we explore the essence of discipleship through Jesus' teachings in John 15. The central theme revolves around 'abiding in Christ' - not just practicing spiritual disciplines, but truly making our home in Jesus. We're reminded that spiritual growth isn't about achieving, but about abiding. This profound insight challenges us to shift our focus from mere religious activities to cultivating a deep, abiding relationship with Christ. The imagery of the vine and branches beautifully illustrates our dependence on Jesus for spiritual nourishment and fruitfulness. As we reflect on this, we're encouraged to let God take control of our lives, allow His words to dwell richly within us, and express His love to others. This message invites us to swim in the ocean of God's love, respecting His commandments as the boundaries that keep us thriving in His grace.
