Podcasts about abiding in christ

In John 15, we encounter the profound metaphor of Jesus as the True Vine, inviting us to 'abide' in Him. This powerful imagery challenges us to examine our spiritual connection and fruitfulness. Are we truly rooted in Christ? The passage reminds us that our ability to bear fruit isn't automatic – it requires intentional effort and a deep, abiding relationship with Jesus. Just as a vine dresser prunes branches for greater yield, God may 'cut back' areas of our lives that aren't productive. This process, while sometimes uncomfortable, ultimately leads to greater spiritual growth and impact. As we reflect on this, let's consider: What areas of our lives might God be pruning? How can we more fully abide in Christ, allowing His life-giving power to flow through us and produce abundant fruit?   Find a C3 Church Near You: https://www.c3churchglobal.com   If you want to give to help C3 Church Global plant new churches around the world, head to https://www.c3churchglobal.com/giving   Follow Me On Social Media: https://www.youtube.com/@Philpringle?sub_confirmation=1  https://instagram.com/philpringle https://www.facebook.com/psphilpringle https://www.tiktok.com/@philpringl https://twitter.com/philpringle    Purchase a copy of my books today: https://philpringle.com/store 

In this episode, we talk about the final "I Am" statement said by Jesus Christ in the Gospel of John: "I am the true vine." What does it mean for Jesus to be the vine, The Father as the vinedresser, and us as the branches, and what does this illustration say about God's work in us for our sanctification?   Order a copy of my book: Signs of the End: Amazon: https://amzn.to/3iDuwiA   LTS Website: https://www.lovingthescriptures.com/   Gospel of John Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLo4qXfT78rv1sllXLvq1uvxwrmaUG7XIB   Music: http://www.purple-planet.com

Genuine Christianity is a day-by-day decision to remain attached to Jesus, to agree with Him, and to seek a bond or union with Him deliberately. That bond with God begins at our spiritual birth, the moment of belief, a place where we are not meant to stay. This is the final message in the four-part series, "Rooted." Church Elder Mike Adkins concludes the series with a sermon titled "Abiding in Christ."

Jesus spoke frequently about abiding in Him. Constantly praying, listening, and obeying is how we best abide and experience a fruitful life.  When I speak in public, I have often experienced the fruitfulness of abiding. That's because I'm often seeking God fervently and following His lead.   As I speak, I have often felt the Holy ... The post Abiding in Christ appeared first on Unconventional Business Network.

The key to answered prayer isn't in asking harder—it's in staying close to Jesus and letting His words shape your heart.

In this powerful installment of Summer of Change, Pastor Ken Senchal unpacks why the Church is not optional—it's essential.

Sermon for the Midweek of Pentecost IV Wednesday, 9 July A+D 2025 Rev. Matthew D. Ruesch

Send us a textIn this final episode of our three-part series The Real Thing, we talk about something we often resist—God's holy disruptions. Using the story of Zacchaeus, we explore how Jesus didn't just stop by for a visit, but invited him into something lasting. The word used is meno—to abide—and it changes everything. This wasn't about tweaking a few behaviors; it was an invitation to step out of hiding and into real relationship.This was a difficult conversation to have. We share honestly about the struggle of letting go of control and embracing God's interruptions, including a tender story about a dog named Sevy. From the bleeding woman to Saul's blinding light, we reflect on how Jesus often disrupts before He restores. With breath prayers and practical tools, we invite you to consider where He might be gently disrupting your own “almost” life.

There are so many things we allow to consume our lives. Our careers, our families and friendships, or even church events and programs. These things can consume all of our energy, time, and resources and become idols. As Pastor Terry continues our study in the book of John today, he'll remind us that our central focus needs to be on Christ. We are called and invited to abide in Him on a moment-by-moment basis. This requires intentionally placing the things of this world lower in our list of priorities.

If you've ever felt stuck — trying to change but not seeing results — this episode is for you.

Principle 76 – Abiding in Christ   Psalm 80:1-19We must live in close fellowship with the Lord Jesus Christ, drawing our strength from Him.NEW! - Let us know what you think of the program! Support the show

Listen to the sermon 'Abiding In Christ In The Last Hour' by Jeremy Burrage from the 1 John series, based on 1 John 2:18-27.

Sometimes we can get in a rut of seeing the work of God's Kingdom or a life of righteousness as a burden. The reality is that this is an incredible privilege to be a part of God's will for the world. As Pastor Terry will encourage us in today's message, this journey will be full of challenges and struggles, but God wants to use all of that to grow you as His Child and to use you in reaching the lost and broken. When you focus on the eternal value of this work, you can find joy in the hardest times.

Have you ever felt stuck—spiritually dry, emotionally exhausted, or like you're running in circles trying to grow but not seeing any lasting change? In this week's episode of OneChurch Podcast, Pastor Ken Senchal reveals a truth that could unlock your next breakthrough: change doesn't come from trying harder—it comes from staying connected to Christ. Rooted in Ephesians 1 and John 15, this message explores what it really means to live “in Christ”—and why so many believers never experience the fullness of that identity. Pastor Ken also shares how spiritual disciplines like daily prayer aren't religious rituals—they're lifelines that keep us aligned with God's voice and power.

In this episode of The Grove Podcast, Shelley Giglio sits down with the legendary CeCe Winans — the best-selling female gospel artist of all time — for a heartfelt conversation about legacy, surrender, and what it really means to live a life marked by Jesus.CeCe's voice and influence have shaped generations of worshippers, but it's her deep love for Jesus and her desire to reflect Him clearly that shines most. She shares honestly about the challenge of dying to self, the joy of walking humbly with God, and the kind of legacy she hopes to leave — not of fame or applause, but pure faith in Jesus. Whether you're in a season of building, leading, parenting, or simply learning how to abide, CeCe's words will stir your heart toward a legacy that reflects Christ.The Grove is an extension of all God is doing here at Passion City Church in Atlanta, Georgia, to serve and care for women everywhere.

Following Jesus is the beginning — not the end — of the journey. In this episode, Pastor Ken invites us into a deeper walk of faith, where change is not only expected, but necessary. Through scripture, real-life examples, and deep spiritual insight, discover: What it means to live fully in Christ How to stay connected when life feels disconnected The truth about spiritual growth, pruning, and submission Whether you're just beginning your walk or feeling spiritually stuck, this message will help you re-align your life with God's best for you.

This message began with a personal testimony about a healing and reconciling trip, showcasing God's power to restore broken relationships. Then Ed shared messages rooted in Isaiah 60 and 61, emphasizing God's promises to transform, redeem, and deliver through Christ. We reflected on how abiding in Christ brings peace, righteousness, and freedom from spiritual oppression.The conversation highlighted the role of Jesus as protector, the importance of patience and submission in spiritual growth, and how God replaces sorrow with joy. Testimonies were shared about God's tangible love and the way His word continues to guide and heal. The meeting concluded with heartfelt prayers of gratitude and a reminder of the gospel call to serve others in humility and love.

In this powerful follow-up episode, Steve Wood explores the deep connection between abiding in Christ and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, as taught in 1 John. Learn why union with Christ isn't just a theological concept—it's the foundation of lifelong faith, especially for young Catholics preparing for Confirmation. Discover how CCC 1309 highlights the true goal of formation: a transforming relationship with Christ through the Spirit—not religious checklists. With insights from Pope Benedict XVI and practical encouragement for youth leaders and parents, this episode calls for a Spirit-filled renewal in the Church.

I'd love to hear from you!Talk from the women's conference at Fellowship Community Church on May 3rd, 2025. Have you ever noticed how certain songs, thoughts, or messages play on constant repeat in your mind? In our noisy world, we're constantly listening to something, but what voice truly shapes who we are becoming?Through personal stories of navigating blindness and the pressure to achieve, Ginny Owens unpacks the transformative power of "abiding" in Christ—the ancient spiritual practice that changes everything. Drawing from Jesus' powerful teaching in John 15 about the vine and branches, she reveals how we are always connected to some source of nourishment, whether it's career success, relationships, social validation, or Christ himself.The revolutionary truth is that we don't manufacture fruit in our lives—we carry it from whatever source we're plugged into. "What you revere is what you will resemble," Jenny explains, challenging us to examine what voice truly speaks loudest in our daily lives. Are we drawing life from temporary sources that ultimately leave us withering, or from the true vine who offers eternal nourishment?This message explores why God's pruning process, though painful, always leads to greater fruitfulness. Ginny vulnerably shares her journey from making "polite prayers" that created walls between herself and God to discovering the freedom of bringing her authentic heart to Jesus. She offers practical strategies—see, savor, and sing—for making Christ's voice the dominant soundtrack of your life.Whether you're feeling disconnected from God, struggling with anxiety, or simply desiring a more authentic spiritual life, this episode will help you recognize what's truly playing on repeat in your mind and how to tune into the voice that brings genuine transformation.

In our busy lives, we often lose sight of what truly matters—bearing fruit for God rather than simply staying busy. John 14:21 teaches that love for God manifests in love for others. While we may engage in good activities, we must ensure they fulfill God's purpose. Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar discuss how easy it is to mistake productivity for fruitfulness, just as Martha was consumed with tasks while Mary chose to abide with Jesus. God is the vine, and we are the branches. True fruitfulness comes from abiding in Him, not just from doing His work. If our efforts lead to stress, pride, or anxiety, we are likely not growing spiritually. Many people are so caught up in ministry or service that they neglect their relationship with God. This is dangerous because it shifts our focus from Him to our own efforts.Busyness is often celebrated in today's culture, but scripture warns that it can be a distraction. Rest should not merely serve to improve our productivity; it should be a time to abide in God. We must ensure that our actions are motivated by love. Without love, our best efforts are meaningless. Love, at its core, is genuine care for God and others. True fruitfulness should be an effortless outcome of abiding in Christ. As we grow in our relationship with Him, we should be moved by the fruits of the Spirit to share the gospel. Our love for God deepens as we understand His love for us.God works so we can rest, and resting is an act of defiance against the false gods of busyness and self-reliance. Jesus left His throne to bring us into His kingdom, calling us to be faithful rather than to strive for immediate fruitfulness. God knows what we need and what is best for us. When raising children, we must ask whether we are teaching them to be busy or to be fruitful. Too often, we are simply in survival mode rather than guiding them to abide in Christ. Resting in the Lord allows us to slow down and reflect on His will. Service without seeking the Lord is harmful. Colossians 1:10 teaches that true fruitfulness comes from increasing in our  knowledge of God. To walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, we must devote ourselves to knowing His heart.Abiding in Christ requires time. Like any relationship, our connection with God deepens when we invest in it. Never approach ministry or service without first communing with Jesus. Fruitfulness cannot exist apart from truth, and it cannot be separated from Christ. Ultimately, our goal is not to achieve visible results but to remain faithful, trusting that God will bring about the fruit in His perfect timing.Send us a textThanks for listening!

As John 14:21 reminds us, love for God is reflected in love for others, and our actions should be rooted in His purpose rather than mere busyness. Just as Martha was consumed with tasks while Mary chose to sit with Jesus, we must prioritize our relationship with God over constant activity. While today's culture celebrates busyness, Scripture warns that it can be a distraction, and true rest should be a time to abide in God, not just recharge for more work. Without love, our efforts are meaningless, and true fruitfulness should be the natural outcome of a deep relationship with Christ. God calls us to faithfulness rather than immediate results, and when we prioritize abiding in Him, He brings forth the fruit in His perfect timing.
