1 John 2 pt13 - Truth Abiding In You by Ray Jensen

What if confidence in prayer isn't about saying more, but staying close? We trace John's surprising journey from a fiery Son of Thunder to the beloved disciple whose life was marked by abiding. John remained near enough to hear Jesus and be formed by his words. That shift from reaction to relationship becomes a practical framework for anyone who wants a steadier, deeper prayer life.In this episode, Tosha Williams walks us through some of the moments that shaped John's heart: God's command to “Listen to Him,” Jesus' rejection in Samaria, and the quiet choice to reflect glory rather than chase recognition. Instead of retelling the Transfiguration he witnessed, John lived it. He leaned into proximity, let Scripture root his desires, and recorded more of Jesus' words than anyone else in Scripture, including what Jesus said in John 15:4:  “Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me.” From his Gospel to the book of Revelation, John shows what it looks like to abide with Christ. This abiding led John to more and more confidence in prayer, which he reminded us of in 1 John 5:14, “And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us. And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him.”As we look at John's example, we learn why abiding redefines we encounter prayer, how listening aligns our wants with God's will, and how private devotion becomes our public witness. We offer simple, repeatable steps—silence, a short passage, one honest question—to help you start or restart an abiding rhythm that holds in real life. If you've felt hurried, reactive, or spiritually thin, this conversation offers language and practices that can anchor your days and shape your words with grace.Ready to let heaven meet here in your rhythms of prayer?

1 John 2 pt12 - Truth Abiding In You by Ray Jensen

Pruned to Bear MoreIn the finale of our Difference Makers series, Pastor Brad teaches from John 15 on abiding and pruning. Abiding isn't a quick recharge—it's a plugged-in life with Jesus that produces real fruit. Pruning removes what siphons our energy into “leaves” (appearance, busyness, distractions) so more life can flow into what matters most: love, joy, peace, and the good of others. We get practical with three areas—schedule, downtime, and relationships—and ask God for courage to cut what keeps us from fruitfulness.DATE: 08/31/2025SPEAKER: Brad Goode

Created to Worship Worship isn't just something we do on Sundays—it's a way of life that centers our hearts on God's greatness and reminds us who we are in Christ. In this message, Daniel McCoy helps us explore what it means to worship "in spirit and in truth" and how this rhythm of worship transforms our daily walk with Jesus. Whether you're a longtime believer or simply curious about following Christ, this teaching is a powerful reminder that we were created to worship—and when we do, God meets us in ways that renew and strengthen our souls. From our "Our Church" series at Iowa City Church.

  Theme: “Abide in Me” — Living in Continuous Union with Christ Pastor Matthew's sermon centered on John 15:1–8, where Jesus describes Himself as the true vine and His followers as the branches. The message explored what it means to truly abide — to live in continual fellowship, obedience, and dependence on Christ rather than drifting in and out of relationship with Him. Opening Challenge — The Call to Be the Church in Battle Pastor began by reminding the congregation that church is not a comfort zone but a place of kingdom warfare: “If you just come here to feel better, you're in the wrong spot. But if you come here to do warfare and be part of the kingdom of God, you're in the right spot.” He announced upcoming baptisms as outward signs of abiding faith, underscoring that commitment to Christ must be continuous, not seasonal. The Vine and the Branches (John 15:1–8) Jesus says, “I am the true vine, and My Father is the vine dresser.” God's desire is not attendance or numbers, but fruit — the visible results of spiritual life. “Every branch that bears fruit, He prunes.” Pastor noted pruning can feel painful, but it's how God refines us for greater fruitfulness. Greek Word Study: The word abide comes from the Greek meno — meaning to dwell, continue, tarry, or remain. “Nothing in that definition says you can run in and out on the Lord. Abiding isn't convenience — it's commitment.” Abiding Produces Fruit and Eternal Impact Without the vine, branches can do nothing. Pastor warned that even successful lives apart from Christ accomplish nothing eternal: “If you're a father or mother not walking with God, you may give your kids everything this world offers — but you're doing nothing eternal in their lives.” He contrasted earthly inheritance with spiritual legacy, reminding parents of David's last desire: “When David died, he didn't talk about his possessions — he said, ‘I want to see you on the other side.'” The Power of Abiding Faith Pastor shared a personal story from his time working in the coal mines. While working with a coworker who had backslidden, an equipment alarm malfunctioned. Pastor quoted John 15:7, declaring: “If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you shall ask what you will, and it shall be done unto you.” He prayed over the system, and despite the electrical connection being physically broken, the alarm set successfully — a miraculous sign that led his coworker to repent on the spot. “That wasn't just setting an alarm — that was God showing a man He still loved him and was calling him home.” The Secret of Strength — Dwelling in His Presence (Psalm 91) Linking John 15 with Psalm 91, Pastor explained that abiding is dwelling in the secret place of the Most High, living under the shadow of His protection. “Some people just want to date Jesus — visit Him when it's convenient. But we're called to marry Him, to take Him home, to walk with Him every day.” True abiding keeps believers under divine covering: “He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall take refuge.” Warnings Against Neglect Pastor identified two of Scripture's most sobering warnings: Judges 16:20 — “The Spirit of the Lord departed from Samson, and he knew it not.” Luke 19:44 — “You did not recognize the time of your visitation.” These verses illustrate the danger of taking God's presence for granted. “The most terrifying thing isn't hellfire — it's that the Spirit could walk out of your life and you wouldn't even notice.” He urged believers not to become so busy or distracted that their priorities drift from God: “If you've got too much going on to spend time with God, you've got too much going on.” Three Voices in Psalm 91 Pastor unpacked Psalm 91 as a conversation between three voices: The author (Moses or David) declaring, “He is my refuge.” The witness, telling another believer, “Because you have made the Lord your dwelling place…” God Himself, responding: “Because he has set his love upon Me, I will deliver him.” He emphasized that effective witnesses live what they preach: “This ‘my' has convinced the ‘your' to make his God their God — that's powerful witnessing.” The Eternal View — God Outside of Time Using an illustration of a parade, Pastor explained that God sees the entire timeline of history at once: “You and I are standing on the street watching one float at a time. God sees the whole parade — beginning to end.” Because God knows the end from the beginning, believers can trust Him and call things that are not as though they were, provided they are abiding in His Word. Closing Appeal — Abide and Be Rescued Pastor closed by inviting unbelievers and prodigals to come home: “If you're trapped in sin, God saw your condition and sent His Son to rescue you. He didn't bargain — He paid it all.” He urged believers to realign their priorities and renew their commitment to abide daily, not occasionally: “You should have decided yesterday that you weren't quitting today.” Communion and baptisms followed as symbols of continual abiding in Christ. Core Message “Abide in Me.” Stay connected, remain faithful, dwell daily, and continue in His presence. Without abiding, there is no fruit; without the vine, there is no life.

Abiding in Prayer Life can sometimes feel like we're paddling hard against the wind—trying our best but getting nowhere. Yet God never intended for us to move through life on our own strength. In this message, Pastor Tom reminds us that prayer is how we lift the sails of our hearts to catch the power and direction of the Holy Spirit. Discover how to move from striving to abiding, and experience the peace and strength that come when we stop paddling and start praying. From our "Our Church" series at Iowa City Church.

We unpack Ezra 4's subtle trap—when adversaries ask to “help” build—and why holy separation protects purpose, favor, and joy. We call listeners to renewed minds, deeper abiding, and a witness shaped by truth and love, not cultural pressure.• The Ezra 4 invitation to mix and its hidden danger• Separation as sanctification, not superiority• Identity as carriers of glory from glory to glory• Renewed minds resisting cultural molds• Jesus as fully God and fully man, shaping self-understanding• Your body is the temple, and worship is a whole-life posture• Abiding over striving, producing fruit and joy• Guarding your voice from causes that breed hatred• Grace received internally versus law achieved externally• A call to rebuild the house without compromise

Have you ever felt your ministry energy start to fade a few months into the season? That sense of slowing down, coasting, or even drifting can happen to the best of us — but it doesn't have to keep you stuck. In this episode, Eric shares some thought around why drift happens — the human, spiritual, and cultural forces that quietly pull us off course — and how we can return to the fire of mission. Show Notes / Key Points: Naming the Drift Feeling flat or coasting in ministry is normal. Drift happens when we stop intentionally moving toward mission. Key insight: to drift, we simply need to do… nothing. Scripture: Philippians 3:13-14 NRSV Why Drift Happens Human side: fatigue, busyness, and familiarity. Rest and relational honesty help restore energy. (Matthew 11:28-30) Spiritual side: losing connection to Jesus and the Holy Spirit. Abiding in Him is the source of fruitfulness. (John 15:4-5, Romans 8:26) Cultural side: pressure for constant growth and visible success. Trust God's rhythms of pruning and seasons. (Ecclesiastes 3:1-2, 2 Corinthians 4:16-18) Returning to the Fire of Mission Return to relationship: spend time with Jesus, remember your identity as a beloved child of God. (1 John 4:19, Ephesians 2:10) Reconnect with the Holy Spirit: pray for guidance, boldness, and renewed vision. (Acts 1:8, Galatians 5:16) Remember your why and who: focus on the people God has placed in your life and ministry. (Matthew 28:19-20, 1 Peter 3:15) Reflect on your witness: love is the first way people encounter the Gospel. Re-engage in community: ministry flourishes in shared life, prayer, and encouragement. (Hebrews 10:24-25, 1 Thessalonians 5:11) Closing Encouragement The Spirit who called you is still with you. You can fan the flame of your God-given gift for mission. (2 Timothy 1:6-7) Proclaim Team Resources: In-person trainings, workshops, and leadership summits to help leaders refocus on mission. Examples: Accompaniment Masterclass, Rescue Project support, Alpha parish sessions. Proclaim is a movement of the Archdiocese of Vancouver inspiring disciples to proclaim Jesus in their homes and communities. The Proclaim podcast is a space where you listen to inspiring disciples talk all things around sharing Jesus with others, and learn how to step into your own missionary identity.

Sermon preached at Trinity Lutheran Church, Murdock, NE (26 October 2025). Text: John 8:31-36

Christian life is not a religion of rules but a relationship of communion with the Spirit. Like breath in our lungs, He is essential for our daily walk with Christ. Main Points Recognition of the Spirit (John 14:17) The world does not know Him, but we must. Recognizing His presence brings spiritual awareness. Abiding in the Spirit (John 15:4–5) Abiding means living in constant fellowship. The Spirit is the vine through which Christ's life flows. Surrender to the Spirit (Galatians 5:16, 25) Communion requires yielding. To walk by the Spirit is to let Him lead. Life Applications Cultivate daily recognition: pause throughout the day to acknowledge the Spirit's presence. Develop abiding habits: read, meditate, and pray with the Spirit's help. Practice surrender: obey the Spirit's promptings even when it costs. Theologian Quote “The Holy Spirit is the bond by which Christ effectually unites us to Himself.” – John Calvin Conclusion Communion with the Spirit transforms Christianity from ritual to relationship, from striving to abiding. Prayer “Spirit of God, teach us to recognize You, abide in You, and surrender to Your leading. Keep us in step with You each day. Amen.”

"Do you know what a slave needs to know? He needs to know that his Master has spoken clearly."  Hebrews 2:1-4 

John 15:1-11 teaches that real thriving is not measured by external success but by inward delight that comes from abiding in Jesus. The world defines thriving by achievement—status, possessions, productivity—but Jesus defines it by fruitfulness born from intimacy with Him. Like branches connected to the vine, believers bear fruit naturally when they remain in His love. Abiding is not a morning ritual but a continual relationship, a rhythm of dependence and communion that transforms ordinary moments into encounters with divine joy. In contrast to the anxious striving of Martha, Jesus invites His followers to sit, rest, and receive—to find the freedom and delight that achievement can never produce.

What is this business of abiding in Christ? It means that you take by faith all He has for you and receive in turn by faith all of His blessed presence, power, and enablement.
