Abiding in Christ

John 15:1–11 | This is that time where countless New Year's resolutions are made... And a few weeks from now is the time when many of these resolutions are broken.

As a year comes to an end, we naturally begin to think about what we want to do with the next one, but with every broken resolution, we are reminded that we don't possess the power to carry out many of the goals we make for ourselves. What if we spend so much time making good spiritual goals for 2019 but don't understand what needs to be true in our life in order to actually carry these out?

Let's take the last message of the year and focus not on all the specific things we want to do, but on understanding what needs to be true in our life in order to do what God wants us to do.

We'll talk about five powerful outcomes that will be true for our life if we will abide in Christ. This, more than anything else, may prepare us for 2019 to be one of the most fruitful year's for the Lord yet.

2 Corinthians 5:13–21 | Have you ever met someone that appears to be “love-struck?" Do you know what I mean? You find this person “singing in the rain” or gazing at the moon "like a big pizza pie." We all have to admit that we tend to act a little crazy when we are in love, don’t we? In this week’s passage, Paul points out that it is not uncommon for people to think we have lost our minds when we are truly abiding in and reflecting on Jesus’ love for us. His love has the power to totally eclipse our lives and overcome our hearts in radical ways. The question Paul raises for us is, "Do we truly realize how much Jesus loves us?"
