n today’s message, Pastor Jordan takes us somewhere deep—not just intellectually, but spiritually—to one of the most important conversations we can have about the Christian life: what it truly means to ABIDE in Jesus.

Many of us have responded to Jesus’ first invitation: “Come to Me” (salvation, forgiveness, soul-rest). But Jesus gives His disciples a second invitation that is just as life-changing:

“Abide in Me… remain in Me… dwell in Me.” (John 15:4–5)

Jesus teaches that this isn’t “advanced Christianity” or a spiritual bonus level—this is normal, everyday discipleship. Because apart from Him, we can do nothing. But when we learn to abide, we begin to live from the life of Christ—His peace, His righteousness, His wisdom, His power.

In this sermon you’ll learn:

What “abide” really means (remain, stay, dwell, make your home in Christ)

Why the Christian life isn’t mainly about striving—it’s about staying close to Jesus

How abiding recenters the soul so we live from Christ, not just for Christ (Galatians 2:20)

Why Jesus measures maturity not by perfection—but by how quickly we return to Him

How abiding fuels peace, steady joy, obedience, holiness, prayer, and worship

Why intimacy isn’t broken by weakness—it’s broken by distance and hiding

If you’ve ever felt stuck in cycles of distraction, anxiety, temptation, or spiritual burnout—this message will help you discover the freedom of unceasing communion with Jesus.
