Jesus promised to send the Holy Spirit to be the Helper and the Spirit of truth. The Holy Spirit did come into the world, and he is convicting the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment. It is to our advantage that Jesus sent the Holy Spirit, because he now dwells in all believers. Verses: John 15: 26-16: 12, Matthew 13: 20-21, Acts 26: 9-11, Matthew 10: 28Pastor: Daniel Hendrickson

What if your relationship with God was never meant to feel distant?In John 15:12-17, Jesus says something extraordinary: “I no longer call you servants... Instead, I have called you friends.”In this episode of Friends with God, Joe explores the passage that inspired the name of the entire podcast and what it might mean to actually live every day as a friend of Jesus.Friendship isn't built through striving or checking religious boxes. It's built through presence, conversation, trust, love, and simply spending time together. Joe explores how prayer can become an ongoing conversation, how abiding means staying connected, and why Jesus' command to love one another may be far simpler and more powerful than we sometimes make it.What if Jesus isn't waiting somewhere far away for you to find Him? What if He's already sitting across the kitchen table?Grab your coffee. Open up John 15. And let's talk about what it means to be Friends with God.

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE: Jeremiah 10–12; John 14 Click HERE to give! One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on the Daily Radio Bible, a daily Bible-in-a-year podcast with 20-minute Scripture readings, Christ-centered devotion, and guided prayer. This daily Bible reading and devotional invites you to live as a citizen of Jesus' kingdom, reconciled, renewed, and deeply loved. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! On this 12th day of August, we journey through Jeremiah 10–12 and John 14 with Hunter, your Bible reading coach. In Jeremiah, we encounter the folly of idols, the faithfulness of the living God, and the prophet's struggle to understand what God is doing in the midst of injustice and suffering. Then, in John 14, Jesus draws his disciples into some of the deepest mysteries of our faith, revealing his union with the Father and promising the coming presence of the Holy Spirit. Yet amid these profound mysteries, Jesus gives his disciples something remarkably simple: follow me. There is so much about God, life, and faith that we may not fully understand, but we are not required to have everything figured out before we walk with Christ. We are invited to trust his presence, receive his peace, and go where he leads. Today's devotion reminds us that faith is not ultimately about mastering every mystery, but about learning to hear the voice of Jesus and respond when he says, "Come, let's be going." TODAY'S DEVOTION: There are some things about God that are simply beyond us. In John 14, Jesus is speaking to his disciples about some of the deepest mysteries imaginable. He tells them that he is in the Father and the Father is in him. He tells them that the Holy Spirit, the Advocate, will come and live within them. He tells them that somehow, through the Spirit, they will participate in this life and love that exists between the Father and the Son. That's a lot to take in. And you can almost feel Thomas and Philip trying to keep up. They want more explanation. They want Jesus to slow things down and make everything clearer. Thomas says, essentially, "We don't even know where you're going." Philip says, "Just show us the Father and we'll be satisfied." I understand that impulse. I think most of us do. There are so many things about faith that we want explained. There are mysteries we want solved and questions we want answered. We want greater clarity about God, about ourselves, about suffering, about the future, about what God is doing in our lives. But Jesus doesn't give his disciples a theological diagram that explains everything. Instead, he gives them himself. He tells them not to let their hearts be troubled. He promises them his peace. He promises the Spirit. He reminds them that they are not being abandoned. And then, at the end of the chapter, he says something remarkably ordinary and practical: "Come, let's be going." Come. Follow me. There is something beautiful about that. The mysteries are still mysteries. The disciples still don't understand everything. But Jesus is with them, and for now that is enough. They can follow him. And maybe that is enough for us today too. You don't have to understand everything before you follow Jesus. You don't have to solve every theological question or make sense of every circumstance in your life. There are things we may understand later that we simply cannot understand now. But we can hear his voice. We can receive his peace. We can trust the Spirit who lives within us. And we can follow. Jesus says that he is the way, the truth, and the life. The way is not simply information about God. The way is a person. And as we follow him, we begin to experience the life he has promised us. We discover his peace, his strength, his joy, and his presence along the way. So maybe today, instead of demanding an answer to every mystery, we can simply listen for the invitation of Jesus: Come, let's be going. Follow me. That's the prayer that I have for my own soul. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife and my daughters and my son. And that's a prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen. Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen. And now Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light. And where there is sadness, Joy. Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life. Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ. Amen.

What does it really mean to "abide" in Christ?In this episode of Friends with God, Joe explores one of Jesus' most powerful teachings from John 15:1-8, where Jesus calls Himself the true vine and us the branches. Instead of striving harder, performing better, or trying to earn God's approval, Joe reflects on a much simpler invitation: stay connected.Through everyday examples, practical application, and honest conversation, this episode explores how abiding isn't about doing more. It's about remaining rooted in Christ so that peace, joy, faith, and love naturally grow as the fruit of a life connected to Him.If you've been feeling spiritually exhausted or distracted, this conversation is a gentle reminder that the answer may not be trying harder. It may simply be staying close to the Vine.

Mark Lohman // August 9, 2026

In this message from John 15:1–11, Pastor Kyle Toddy teaches how disciples of Jesus grow to become more like Christ. Using Jesus' picture of the vine and the branches, this sermon shows that spiritual growth does not happen passively. A disciple grows by abiding in Jesus, listening to His Word, communicating with Him, obeying His commands, and allowing the Father to prune what does not bear fruit.Scripture References:John 15:1–11John 13–17John 14:16–18John 3Matthew 7:24–27Philemon 1:101 Corinthians 3:1–31 Corinthians 13:111 Corinthians 14:20Hebrews 5:12–14At River Oak Church, we are a welcoming family of imperfect people who share a passion for God, a passion for others, and a passion for graciously sharing the good news of Jesus Christ.  We enjoy an informal environment and Christ-exalting modern worship, and we are committed to following the truth of God's Word.  We welcome you to come as you are, from wherever you've been, and join us!To support this ministry and help us continue to reach people all around the world click here: https://riveroakchurch.org/give/Support the show

John 15 continues, and we see that a vital part of our Christian life is that God will prune us to produce more fruit. thebridgebluffton.com

We open John 15 and sit with Jesus's invitation to stop striving for spiritual fruit and start remaining in him as the true vine. We talk honestly about weakness, suffering, and loss, and why the Father's pruning can be a sign of love, not rejection. • the disciples' fears as Jesus says he is going away • why “true vine” points beyond Israel to Jesus himself • abiding as making a home in Christ, not occasional visits • the difference between proximity to Jesus and abiding in Jesus • self-examination that looks for rootedness, not a religious resume • Noah's ark as a picture of resting while God navigates storms • branches that never bear fruit, and what chokes spiritual life • pruning as the Father's careful cultivation, even through pain • prayer shaped by God's Word and aligned with his will • being invited into the Father's love for the Son • joy that runs deeper than happiness and circumstances • the final invitation to come home, remain, and let fruit grow  If you want to learn more about the MidTree story or connect with us, go to our website HERE or text us at 812-MID-TREE.

Scripture: John 15:9-17 Preacher: Ronnie Goble

Message By Daniel Broyles 

Jesus said greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. Jesus calls us his friends, and he commands us to love one another in the same way he has loved us. When we live this way for Jesus, we can expect hatred from the world. Verses: John 15: 12-25, Mark 3: 13-15, Luke 6: 26 Pastor: Daniel Hendrickson

As followers of Christ we are called to bear fruit. But so often we can be tempted to think that is all falls on us to be responsible for that fruit. Bu in John 15, Jesus says He is the vine and we are the branches, reminding us that He is our source for bearing fruit, as long as we remain in Him.--Sermon by Pastor Kyle Kaminski--New to Heritage?

The treasures of thy love surmount the pow'r of numbers, speech, and thought. 6 I've learnt, that thou hast not desired off'rings and sacrifice alone; Nor blood of guiltless beasts required for man's transgression to atone. 7 I therefore come--come to fulfil the oracles thy books impart: 8 'Tis my delight to do thy will; thy law 'tis written in my heart.

What do you do when anxiety takes over, and you can't stop the spiral?You know the pattern. Something happens — a shift in your body, a moment of tension in your marriage, a number in your bank account — and before you've had a single conscious thought, your mind is already assigning meaning, the shame is already rising, and you're reacting from a place you didn't choose. The spiral moves faster than your intentions do. Most of us have been trying to outrun it. This episode is about something different.The gap between trigger and reaction is small. Most of us blow right past it. But that gap is where the Spirit lives — and learning to pause there is one of the most significant things you can practice. This isn't a coping strategy. It's abiding in its most raw and necessary form.This is the final episode of the Simply Remain series, and it brings everything home. We talk about the everyday spiral and the longer dormant seasons — the empty nest, the aging parent, the chapter of life that feels unrecognizable. In all of it, the invitation is the same. Remain.In This Episode • Why the spiral is not evidence that something is wrong with you — it's an invitation to abide • The pattern behind every trigger: sensation, thought, emotion, reaction • The gap between trigger and reaction and why that's where God lives • The difference between shame that drives you deeper and the Spirit that leads you gently back • The four P's: Panic, Pause, Pray, Praise — a practice for the hardest moments • What pruning actually means and why the Father works through his Word, not the trial aloneKey Takeaways • The spiral is the curriculum — your hardest moments are where abiding becomes real • Romans 8:26 — the Spirit intercedes in your weakness. That gap is not empty • Shame drives you deeper. The Spirit leads you back. You can tell them apart by where they take you • Some seasons are longer than a spiral — dormant winters where the root is still doing its work underground • The branch that holds on in winter is the branch that flourishes in springSeries NoteThis is episode four of the Simply Remain series.

Jesus continues to teach his disciples after they have celebrated the Passover, and at this point they are on their way to the Mount of Olives. During this discourse, Jesus emphasize relationships within the Trinity and today he'll expand to include the relationship between the Triune Godhead and Christ's disciples. Jesus begins by saying that his disciples are the branches and that he is the vine; they will only grow and bear fruit if they remain in Christ. His disciples are to relate to one another in the love of Christ, remaining in that love. Remaining in Christ means that they will also be persecuted because of their association with him, for those who hate Christ also hate his followers and his Father who sent him. At the end of the chapter, Jesus begins to teach on the Holy Spirit, which will continue in chapter 16. :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

Send me a Text Message!Remain. Mostly what I want to talk about, in this last episode of the series, is that word "remain." In Biblical Greek, it's the word meno.  It means to take a stand against difficult circumstances. But it was also used to refer to relationships, close personal relationships.  So maybe the sense of the word meno in John 15 is "to stick close even when it's difficult."Stick close to me and I will stick close to you. Regardless of how hard life is, let my words stick close. Stick close to my love. If you stick close, you will live a life that thrives, so stick close. See, if want to breakthrough to a life that thrives, we need to remain!

Send me a Text Message!In John 15 there is a serious call to love God's Words, to make them an always-there part of our hearts. Jesus uses the word, "remain." Remain in me. Let my words remain in you. Remain in my life. Remain. What we will find in this episode is that there is a connection that goes beyond metaphor into the land of mystical, a connection between Jesus, who is called "The Word" and the Word which we call our Bible. It's almost like God speaks and every time God opens his mouth, Jesus comes out. Here's the point, "I can't love Jesus, if I don't love the Word!

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.
