Abiding allows us to repeatedly experience the personal reality of the Risen Christ.John 20:1-20Reverend Matthew LakeApril 20, 2025
The scripture says that anyone who is born of God cannot continue in sin because God's seed abides in him. What a blessed assurance He has given us in that it is He who makes us holy. On this broadcast Dr. Robinson reminds us that the Holy Seed abides in us, a son abides forever and the Law of the Lord has been written in our heart.

In this heartfelt episode of Your Weekly Calling, Bea reflects on John 15:5, where Jesus reminds us, “I am the vine, you are the branches.” Drawing from her current journey through Beth Moore's Chasing Vines study, Bea explores what it truly means to stay connected to Christ through every season of life—whether it's a time of waiting, struggle, or celebration.She shares three powerful truths: God is the Master Gardener – Every pruning season has a purpose. Though painful at times, God's careful work in our lives is always for our growth and good.Abiding in Christ Leads to Growth – Staying connected through prayer, worship, and time in the Word is vital. Apart from Him, we can do nothing.Your Life Has Purpose – Growth takes time. Whether you're in a season of planting, waiting, or harvesting, nothing is wasted in God's vineyard.Follow the show here:https://www.instagram.com/workadviceforme/Leave us a review on iTunes and Spotify.This show is brought to you by The Hopecast Networkhttps://www.instagram.com/hopecastnetwork/
20250413PM - Ministered in the evening service at ‘Incite Church', Pastor Lloyd Jansen van Rensburg ministered on, ‘Abiding'.
I. Introduction: The Vine and the BranchesII. Union with ChristIII. Abiding in Christ
Today's 5th chapter of John includes the words of Jesus to the religious leaders who were jealous of his popularity: these men were not of the same calibre as Nicodemus who came to Jesus by night. Jesus tells them, “You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life” [v.39] Their motive in searching God's word was self-centred, they would gain prestige in the eyes of others – and – they took it for granted – prestige in the eyes of God. In contrast Jesus said, “I do not receive glory from people” [v.41] He then said, “I know that you do not have the love of God within you.” They had too much self-love! We need to meditate carefully on Jesus' words – what is it to love God – as distinct from knowing he exists and reading about him in his word?Love arises from a relationship; Jesus asks them, “How can you believe, when you receive glory from one another and do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?” [v.44] Glory? Another word would be praise – patting one another on the back over achievements – this is constantly happening in sports. But God does not pat us on the back! Some words Paul addressed to the Romans have application, “ … a Jew is one inwardly, and circumcision is a matter of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter. His praise is not from man, but from God.” [2 v.29]The jealous Jewish leaders condemned Jesus for healing on the Sabbath and “even calling God his own Father.” [v.18] Jesus had said, “the Son can do nothing of his own accord, but only what he sees the Father doing” [v.19] He tells them, “His voice you have never heard, his form you have never seen, and you do not have his word abiding in you.” [v.38]God's word has to come ‘alive' in the minds of those who read it. The result will be an overwhelming sense of humility – greatly beyond human comprehension. It includes an awed contemplation from the depth of our hearts – what the Creator of all things must be likeWhen his word really abides in a human heart it lays the foundation for a true and wonderful relationship with God. The end result is an even more awesome contemplation – for the Master said, initially to his disciples, – “If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.” But totally committed disciples know what to ask for! Contemplate what Jesus asked for! When we come to ch. 17 v.20 we will read, “I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word …” And the result of that belief? Read what Jesus goes on to say.
Abiding in Christ redefines our expectations by helping us connect with Jesus rather than observing Jesus from a distance.John 12:12-16Reverend Matthew LakeApril 13, 2025

Is He at the center? In this Sunday's message, "The Table of Abiding," Pastor Josh invited us to respond to Jesus' invitation to draw near and abide. Abiding is a life fueled by hunger for more of Him, knowing that apart from Him, we can do nothing. His Word promises that when we draw near to God, He will draw near to us. He's knocking on our hearts, and the choice is ours—will we draw near and let Him capture our hearts? Will we abide and make Him the center of everything? Recorded at Hope Church in Springfield, MO.
Abiding in Jesus is the key to a life of spiritual growth, strength, and fruitfulness. Just as branches cannot bear fruit apart from the vine, we cannot thrive apart from Christ. When we remain in Him, He nourishes us, transforms us, and produces in us the lasting fruit of His Spirit that impacts the world […]

This message reflects on the sorrow the disciples felt as Jesus prepared to leave them, revealing how their confusion, fear, and grief would soon be transformed into lasting joy through His resurrection. Just as their pain gave way to joy, we too can abide in hope by anchoring our joy in Jesus, who offers direct access to God, the power of prayer in His name, and the assurance of the Father's love. Despite trials in this world, Christ's victory gives us peace and an unshakable joy that no one can take away.

This week on That's a REACH, Matt, Taylor, Josh, and Taylor discuss what it truly means to ABIDE in Christ, How the modern church is to grow from the foundation of the early church and not grow away from it or disconnect from it, and how to live in the freedom that the Gospel provides while not taking advantage of God's grace, freely displaying the Gospel by our actions and words rather than tarnishing Gospel influence by our actions and words.Get connected! https://linktr.ee/reachtulsaTo send in a question, click the link below: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeX367n9aLUl3qn3xo7FQqPJZnQvC23ZQaNO6hdwbaz37jvkQ/viewform?fce_id=eb3746af-5fdd-42db-be4f-1a6206995d34

In this last episode of the book of 1st John, John brings this letter to a conclusion. His is encouragement to the young believers to abide in Jesus which brings assurance in all other areas of life. We can apply this to our lives today.
We're not just a church. We're a Family.Our Vision is clear, simple, and unique. Our vision is Jesus in you. Our vision is for the people of God to have a faith that holds them. The kind of faith that vanquishes doubt, verifies identity, and voraciously contends for inner peace. A faith that removes the past, clarifies the present, and breathes life into the future. Our vision is the Kingdom of God built within the people of this obscure, yet mighty generation. A kingdom so great that its purpose destroys the common lack of self worth. A kingdom that sharpens the eyes, tenses the muscles, and readies itself for the battle against darkness. A Kingdom that brings purpose and healing to those who have failed more than succeeded, who are sinners more than saints, and who have known more pain than pleasure. Our vision is to challenge the weak and unproductive church of our day. To step beyond those who are religiously immature and search out those who for their love for Christ cannot be offended. Our hope is to raise warriors instead of those who think God only exists to keep bad things from happening. To raise those who know that following Christ means suffering loss yet gaining all things. Our vision is clear, simple, and unique…. It is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
In this message, we explore Jesus' promise of the Holy Spirit—our Advocate and guide into all truth. As Jesus prepares to return to the Father, He assures us that the Spirit will convict, teach, and remind us of His words, helping us stay connected to Him. We'll also look at what it means to truly abide in Christ through Scripture, spiritual practices, and resisting the lies of the enemy

Presented by Lauren Stibgen Does the busyness of your daily life make you feel like you should just get away? Perhaps it's a weekend away with friends or with your spouse. You want to recharge from the anxiety you feel in the daily grind of work and home. I wasn't sure, but I had a hunch there would be articles about vacation anxiety. I was right. While the benefits of getting away include lowering stress, improving heart health, boosting creativity, strengthening relationships and keeping you healthy, it seems we need more rules of the road to take a good vacation these days. Taking this time away can add anxiety—financial, the care of your children or pets, leaving projects at work, and countless others. The truth is none of the things that cause you daily anxiety will disappear. They will be there when you come back. How can you incorporate the ultimate peace into your getaway, so it isn't just a runaway from your daily stress and anxiety? You know what I mean. How can you include Jesus in this time? How can you draw closer to Jesus in faith? Jesus is a proponent of getting away. “Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.” So they went away by themselves in a boat to a solitary place (Mark 6:31-32). You know the feeling of coming and going—days of no leisure and nothing to eat! We have all had these days. Knowing Jesus invited his disciples to recharge, you can be encouraged he wants this for you too. Be mindful of how you consider this time. It isn't an escape, but it can be a time to rest and be in God's Word. If you are spending the time to get away, make sure it is time spent reconnecting with your peace, Jesus. The only real escape for us in this world is Jesus. Abiding with Christ can give us a foretaste of the glory we will have in heaven. We know in heaven Jesus has prepared a space for us, and the Father's house has many rooms. One of the descriptors I love is in Revelation 4:6. … in front of the throne there was what looked like a sea of glass, clear as crystal (Revelation 4:6). If you have ever been near still and serene water, you will know why this is so striking. It feels so calm. I am in awe knowing heaven has a sea of glass that I can enjoy for eternity.
Abiding in Him brings glory to the Father.
This is the third week of Spring Training: Abide. We'll focus together on John 15:1–17. Jesus teaches us that, just as a branch cannot survive apart from the vine, we cannot live apart from Him. Abiding in Jesus by the Holy Spirit is the only way we can find joy and bear fruit for God's kingdom. Today's episode is an audio version of content from the Abide book, which you can download from our website: firstdallas.org/abide We would love for you to partner with us to support the mission of First Baptist Dallas, which includes creating biblical resources like Spring Training: Abide, by giving online here: firstdallas.org/fbdgive This episode was hosted by Abigail Miller, our Director of Communications. The Scripture passage and the week's introduction were read by Andrew Bobo, our Associate Executive Pastor, Practical Theology.
With each I AM description, the more we know about Jesus, the more we want to know. We are drawn to Jesus because everything about Him is more satisfying than anything this world can offer! Abiding in Jesus is spiritually fruitful but it isn’t something we accomplish through sheer willpower. Listen in with Leah as we discuss how this intimate connection with Jesus and being rooted in God’s Word produces abundant life.
