Rev. Cyril A. Stevens – Sermon 0201A recorded on July 27, 1980 teaching from John 15:11 – These Things Have I Spoken Unto You: Abide in Me as I in You. Pastor Cyril A. Stevens preaches on John 15:11, emphasizing the abiding relationship between believers and Christ. Pastor Stevens uses John 15 to establish the importance…

12 This is my commandment, that you love one another, as I have loved you.Hoc est praeceptum meum, ut diligatis invicem, sicut dilexi vos. 13 Greater love than this no man hath, that a man lay down his life for his friends.Majorem hac dilectionem nemo habet, ut animam suam ponat qui pro amicis suis. 14 You are my friends, if you do the things that I command you.Vos amici mei estis, si feceritis quae ego praecipio vobis. 15 I will not now call you servants: for the servant knoweth not what his lord doth. But I have called you friends: because all things whatsoever I have heard of my Father, I have made known to you.Jam non dicam vos servos : quia servus nescit quid faciat dominus ejus. Vos autem dixi amicos : quia omnia quaecumque audivi a Patre meo, nota feci vobis. 16 You have not chosen me: but I have chosen you; and have appointed you, that you should go, and should bring forth fruit; and your fruit should remain: that whatsoever you shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.Non vos me elegistis, sed ego elegi vos, et posui vos ut eatis, et fructum afferatis, et fructus vester maneat : ut quodcumque petieritis Patrem in nomine meo, det vobis.Of the noble family of Lellis, St Camillus, when still a young priest, consecrated his life to the service of the sick, even those striken with the plague.

Do the ordinary tasks of my day actually matter to God?You're doing all of it — the meals, the laundry, the emails, the driving, the remembering. And somewhere in the middle of it a question surfaces. Does any of this actually matter? This episode is about what happens when we move through our lives productive but not present, and what abiding in the ordinary actually looks like.Through the story of Brother Lawrence and the theology of Andrew Murray's The True Vine, this episode reframes the mundane as the very place God is forming you. The laundry isn't the obstacle to your spiritual life. It is your spiritual life.In This Episode•Why productivity without presence leaves us spiritually exhausted•How Brother Lawrence practiced God's presence in unglamorous ordinary work•What Psalm 16 teaches us about security and presence in our assigned portion•How Murray reframes pruning as God's precision formation in everyday life•The three questions that help you abide in the ordinary instead of just endure itKey Takeaways•The ordinary moments of your day are not the obstacle to your spiritual life — they are your spiritual life•Abiding is a connection you maintain in the middle of the doing, not a feeling you chase•The laundry is the pruning — God is actively forming you in the mundane moments•The fruit grows while you remain connected to the vine — not when you finally finish the listSeries NoteEpisode three of the Simply Remain series, which began on episode 156.Keywords•Abiding in God in everyday life•Christian women and spiritual exhaustion•Finding God in the ordinary•Spiritual formation in daily routines•John 15 abiding and fruit•Andrew Murray The True VineIf you want to take this work and apply it, visit myhappyvault.com.

During his public ministry, Jesus brought hope and healing to the broken. In this message on John 5:1-15, Tim Stobbe, pastor emeritus of Waypoint North in Gig Harbor, WA, teaches on Jesus' healing of a disabled man, showing how Jesus' concern is not just for the man's body but for his soul.

If you have ever felt like God is waiting to cut you off for not being a "good enough" Christian, you need to hear this. For years, John 15 has been taught with a translation bias that makes God look like a harsh gardener ready to throw you away.In this message, we look at the original Greek of John 15 and discover how a Good Father actually tends to His branches. We explore the massive difference between "dead works" (doing good things out of human effort) and bearing true, lasting fruit through your connection to Jesus. Whether you are raising kids, working as an engineer, or preparing to serve thousands through outreach initiatives like The Overflow, the source of your fruit is what matters.Finally, we look at what it means to transition from being a servant to being called a "friend of God"—a title reserved for only four people in the Old Testament, but freely given to you under the New Covenant.

Mark Winner discusses John 15:7—“If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.”

Send us Fan MailIn this sixth episode of our Loud Longings, Holy God series, we explore what it means to stay with Jesus when cravings, difficult emotions, or overwhelming situations make us want to escape. Beginning with a simple breath prayer and Jesus' invitation in John 15 to "abide in Me," we talk about how urges often feel urgent and permanent, even though they rise and fall like waves. Together, we consider how remaining present with God instead of reacting immediately can help us experience His peace in the middle of the struggle.We also discuss the difference between relying on willpower and abiding in relationship with Christ. Looking at the disciples in the storm, we're reminded that Jesus' presence doesn't always remove the storm, but it does change how we walk through it. We close with a simple practice for moments of temptation: pause, take a slow breath, notice what's happening in your body, and pray, "Jesus, I'm staying." If you've ever felt trapped by the need for immediate relief, we hope this conversation encourages you to remain with the One who is already with you.If this connects with you, subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find the show.Support the showLearn more about our Revelation Within Community: https://www.revelationwithin.org

https://square.link/u/UHRU92rp - Donate HereToday's reading takes us to John 15, where Jesus teaches that He is the true vine and we are the branches. After 2 Peter 1 calls us to grow in faith, virtue, knowledge, self-control, steadfastness, godliness, brotherly affection, and love, John 15 shows us where that fruit comes from: not from trying harder, but from abiding in Christ.Jesus reminds us that a branch cannot bear fruit by itself unless it remains in the vine. Fruitfulness is the evidence of living union with Him, and spiritual barrenness is a warning sign that something is disconnected within. So today, read John 15 and ask the Lord to strengthen your inward life: abide in Him, receive from Him, and let His life produce fruit through you.

This week, Ryan Patrick Murphy shares a message from John 15:1-17 titled "Fruit That Will Last," closing out the series "In the Cool of the Garden: Hearing God's Voice in All of Life." The sermon answers the question the whole series has been building toward: what is the goal of hearing God's voice? Rooted in Jesus' final discourse to the disciples before the cross -- delivered not in an upper room but in a garden -- the answer is fruit that lasts into eternity.Ryan walks through five keys to fruitful obedience, moving from the gardening reality of pruning (which God does not to punish us but to prepare us for more fruit) to the rhythm of abiding and working that echoes the original creation pattern in Genesis. From there the message turns to a lifestyle of intimacy and intercession -- where God's words move from something we hear to something that lives inside us -- before landing on lovingly obeying the clear commands of Scripture and, finally, the surprising truth that fruitful obedience looks like joy. Along the way, Ryan names the Fruit of the Spirit from Galatians 5 as the primary biblical definition of fruit that lasts, and takes an honest look at how thoroughly our screens are discipling us compared to the presence of God -- calling the community not to guilt but to a renewed vision of what consistent abiding actually produces.The theological anchor of the message is that fruitful obedience is not performance -- it is the natural outgrowth of remaining in Jesus. Hearing God's voice is never the end in itself; it is always in service of a deeper union with him that transforms character, aligns desire, and makes our prayers more effective because our hearts are being shaped by his. Obedience and joy, Ryan argues, are not opposites. God's commandments are not the rules of a cosmic killjoy -- they are the design of a father who knows the pathway to life and wants to set us on it.Ultimately, this message is an invitation to give God a simple yes. Whether you are in a season of pruning, confusion, suffering, or just the ordinary grind, Jesus is calling you to remain in him, let his words get on the inside of you, and trust that the fruit is coming -- fruit that will outlast every external marker of success and last well into eternity.

John 15:9–25 is part of Jesus' farewell teaching to His disciples on the night before His crucifixion. In this passage, Jesus calls His followers to remain in His love, obey His commandments, and love one another as He has loved them—even to the point of sacrificial service and devotion. He also warns that, because they belong to Him, they will face opposition from the world. The passage highlights the close relationship between love, obedience, friendship with Christ, and faithful perseverance in the face of persecution.

Have you ever felt spiritually stuck? Like you're doing all the right things but still feel disconnected from God? In this episode, Madi and Grant unpack one of Jesus' most powerful teachings in John 15: abiding. So often we focus on producing fruit, finding our purpose, or becoming the person God has called us to be, but Jesus points us to something deeper. Before fruitfulness comes connection. Before impact comes intimacy. Together, Madi and Grant discuss why so many Christians are exhausted from striving, what it actually means to remain in Christ, and how abiding is less about trying harder and more about staying close to Jesus. They talk about the subtle ways we drift from dependence on God, why pruning is a necessary part of growth, and how a vibrant relationship with Jesus transforms every area of our lives. Our prayer is that this episode would encourage you to slow down, draw near to Jesus, and experience the peace, joy, and fruit that come from remaining in Him. New episodes every Thursday at 7am EST

What if the greatest evangelist in your church isn't the person on stage? In John 4, the Samaritan woman encounters Jesus at a well and everything changes. She wasn't a pastor, theologian, missionary, or Bible scholar. She had a complicated past, a broken reputation, and more questions than answers. Yet after one encounter with Jesus, she became one of the first people in Scripture to bring an entire city to Christ. This powerful message from Pastor Byron Ellis explores how evangelism is not about having all the answers. It's about sharing what Jesus has done in your life. The Samaritan woman teaches us that God loves using ordinary people with imperfect stories to reach others with the Gospel. If you've ever felt unqualified, ashamed, or afraid to talk about your faith, this sermon will encourage you to take your next step in sharing Jesus with the people around you. Your testimony may be the bridge God uses to change someone else's eternity.
