Abide in the Vine

About this episode

The absolute, most important single act of the children of God is making space to encounter our heavenly Father in the secret place. Abiding in God is the foundation on which every other aspect of the Christian life finds success. May we be marked by wonderful, satisfying, and fulfilling encounters with the presence of God as we look at John 15:1-17 this week.
