Abiding in Christ — John 15:1-17

Jesus is the vine, and we are the branches. And in order to bear fruit, we must stay connected to the vine. Because we cannot live out God’s purpose for our lives if we don’t. And in today’s Bible study, we’re looking at John 15, where Jesus gives 2 essential instructions: to abide in Him, and to continue in His love.Related videos:The Peace the World Can’t Give — https://youtu.be/w6_9Uf_vKfcJesus Washes the Disciples’ Feet — https://youtu.be/f3Zz-f-nq5gHey!
