My Notes (observations, insights, thoughts, questions, etc.)

You can’t bear fruit if you’re not rooted

• Abiding = Living Connected
• Abiding means relationship, not just routine
• Abide means to stay, to remain, to dwell, to stay connected

Jesus isn’t like Wi-Fi or Charging Cables

• You can’t stay spiritually strong with a spotty connection or just a quick charge.

Jesus is the Vine—we’re not.  Jesus is the source of life

Abiding is the only path to fruitfulness

The promise and the warning

Abiding brings fruit.  Separation brings frustration

Disconnection leads to decay

Abiding aligns our hearts with God’s will

and shapes our prayers

Bearing Fruit glorifies the Father & reveals who we belong to

Abiding is staying in the love of Jesus

Is your connection consistent or casual?
