That Your Joy May Be Full
2w ago00:39:11Tap to summarizeWhat if the joy your soul is searching for is found not in striving harder, but in abiding deeper? In this final message from our Abide series through John 15, we explore Jesus’ invitation to remain in His love and discover the deep, lasting joy that flows from staying connected to Him. As Jesus reminds His disciples of the Father’s love, the beauty of obedience, and the fullness of His joy, we are invited to stop looking for satisfaction everywhere else and learn to rest in the unchanging love of Christ.
Transcribe →The Fruit of Abiding in Jesus
3w ago00:36:01Tap to summarizeWhat happens when we truly stay connected to Jesus? In this message from John 15, we explore the fruit that naturally grows from an abiding relationship with Christ. Jesus promises that as we remain in Him, our lives begin to change from the inside out: prayer becomes powerful, desires begin aligning with God’s heart, and real spiritual fruit starts to grow. This message is an invitation to stop striving to manufacture transformation and instead learn to stay close to Jesus, trusting Him to produce the kind of life only He can grow.
Transcribe →Trusting Him To Keep You
4w ago00:43:33Tap to summarizeWhat if abiding in Jesus isn’t about trying harder… but learning to trust Him more? In this message from John 15, we continue exploring what it means to live connected to Jesus and discover that abiding is not reserved for “super-spiritual” people. It’s an invitation for weak, tired, distracted people to rest in the strength and faithfulness of Christ. As Jesus calls us to “abide in Him,” we’ll explore how true spiritual life flows not from striving or performance, but from dependence, surrender, and trusting Jesus to hold onto us even in our weakness. Because abiding is not the strong holding onto Jesus… it’s Jesus faithfully holding onto the weak.
Transcribe →Abide in ME
May 300:38:18Tap to summarizeWhere are you looking for life? Most of us don’t intentionally drift from Jesus, but over time, we start trying to find life in other places. Work, relationships, success, control… and for a while, it seems to work. Until it doesn’t. In John 15, Jesus gives a simple but powerful invitation: “Abide in Me.” Using the picture of a vine and branches, He shows us that real life, lasting fruit, and true transformation are only found when we stay connected to Him. This message explores what it means to be “in Christ,” why connection to Jesus is essential, and how the posture of our hearts shapes our relationship with Him.
Transcribe →The Care of the Vinedresser
Apr 2600:40:17Tap to summarizeIn John 15:1–2, Jesus reveals the heart of the Father as the Vinedresser who is actively at work in our lives. His goal is simple: that we would bear fruit. And He accomplishes that in two ways—He lifts us when we’re weak and not producing, and He prunes us when we are growing so we can bear even more fruit. What often feels like loss or hardship may actually be God’s loving care, shaping us and drawing us deeper into dependence on Jesus. This message reframes both struggle and growth through the lens of God’s goodness, reminding us that as we remain connected to Christ, we can trust the Father to do whatever is necessary to produce a life marked by love, joy, peace, and true spiritual fruit.
Transcribe →Living Connected to Jesus
Apr 1900:38:18Tap to summarizeAre you spiritually tired, restless, or feeling disconnected from God? In this opening message from Abide: Living Connected to Jesus, we look at Jesus’ invitation in John 15 to remain in Him and discover the life, peace, and rest our souls long for. The secret of true rest is not trying harder for Jesus, but staying connected to Jesus.

The Ascension of Christ
Apr 1200:33:54Tap to summarizeIn this final message from The Road to the Resurrection, we look at one of the most overlooked moments in the story of Jesus: the Ascension. What happened after the resurrection, and what is Jesus doing right now? In this message, we explore the 40 days following Easter, the meaning of Jesus being seated at the right hand of the Father, and why it matters for our lives today. If you’ve ever felt like Jesus is distant, like the weight is back on you, or wondered who is really in control, this message is for you. The Ascension reminds us that Jesus didn’t disappear—He is reigning, ruling, and actively at work right now.
Transcribe →Once You See It, You Can’t Unsee It
Apr 500:37:16Tap to summarizeThe resurrection of Jesus is the best news in history—and it changes everything. In “Once You See It, You Can’t Unsee It,” we look at how Jesus’ first followers went from heartbreak to hope when they realized He was alive. The same is true for us today: when we see who Jesus really is and what He has done, it reshapes how we view our lives, our struggles, and our future. Once you see it, you can’t unsee it.
Transcribe →The worst day became the best day.
Apr 301:10:07Tap to summarizeGood Friday looks like the darkest day in history, the day Jesus died. But what if that moment of death was actually the moment everything changed? In this message, we’ll explore how the cross of Christ turned the worst day into the best day, defeating sin and death and offering new life to all who believe.
