Reject Convenient Christianity: Abiding in the True Vine • John 15 • Episode 70
Jul 20, 2026 • Julie Kyker
Though the disciples could not see what was ahead – Jesus betrayed and arrested, his death, his body sealed in a tomb, the third day being raised, seeing him, hearing him, eating with him, being present at his ascension – their minds would be open once they experienced the outpouring of God’s Holy Spirit. On this eve, as Jesus said remain in me their obedience was essential. As you read carefully John, chapter fifteen, ask the Holy Spirit to help you hear Jesus’ words. This passage is full of imagery. Hear the intimate yet urgent tone in the Lord’s voice. Ask the Lord to help you understand what remaining in the vine means in context of this setting with the disciples, and also for you.
