Remain in Me: A Lectio Divina Practice on the True Vine (John 15:1–4)

Our culture constantly pushes us to do more and try harder. Jesus offers a different invitation: remain. This guided Lectio Divina centers on John 15:1–4 and invites you into a quiet, reflective space to experience the depth of the invitation to remain.Through four movements—listen, reflect, respond, and rest—you’ll engage the imagery of the vine and branches, noticing what word or phrase draws your attention. With slow readings, gentle prompts, and intentional silence, this practice helps shift your focus from striving to abiding.As you sit with this passage, you’ll be reminded that fruitfulness is not something we force—it flows naturally from staying connected to Christ. Whether you feel weary, distracted, or simply in need of stillness, this guided time offers a meaningful way to reconnect, receive, and rest in the life-giving presence of Jesus. Find a quiet place to listen.Narrator: Eric DorseyTake your next step at communitychristian.org.As we move toward the IGNITE Gathering, find more resources, gathering times, and ways to engage here.
