Abide in Communion
Pastor Jayson Workman
John 15:4-6
Introduction
An ABIDING life is an ABUNDANT life
A FRUITFUL life is a FULFILLED life
“If Jesus chose us for abundance, expects abundance, and created us to deeply desire it, how can we ever find fulfillment in a half empty basket?”
Quote: “It is the great concern of all of Christ’s disciples constantly to keep up a dependence upon Christ and communion with Him.” Matthew Henry
Quote: “Reading a book about a person is not the same thing as knowing the person who wrote the book.”
Challenge #1—Deepen the quality of devoted time
Challenge #2—Broaden devoted time
Quote: “More abiding means more of God in your life, more of Him in your activities, thoughts, and desires.” Bruce Wilkinson, Secrets of the Vine
So many who claim to follow Jesus function like they don’t need Him.
Quote: “Once you begin to cultivate a deeper communion with Jesus, you have no desire to return to the shallow life of a careless Christian.”
