Picture a branch.

If that branch is on the ground, it's dead.

A severed branch bears no fruit.

However, if that same branch is connected to a tree or vine, it's alive.

In John 15, Jesus says that the same is true of us.

Specifically, He tells us to 'abide' in Him (as a branch on a vine).

But what does the word 'abide' really mean?

That will be the focus of today's study.

John: What It Means To Abide In Christ

You are not alone.

You have a divine 'intercessor.'

And when life gets hard, the Son pleads your case to His Father.

But what does He say? What does He ask for?

That will be the focus of today's study in John 17.

John: The High Priestly Prayer

Jesus, 1. The World, 0.

It wasn't even close.

Herod, Pilate, the devil, and all the Pharisees could not stop Christ's victory.

They didn't even delay it.

In John 16, Jesus said He had overcome the world - but what does that mean for you and I as believers?

John: Jesus Has Overcome The World

Some believe the world is a 'neutral' place.

But they're wrong.

The world is filled with light and shadow; good and evil, angels and demons.

The world is not neutral. It is spiritually polarized.

And that's just what Jesus told His disciples in John 15.
