Abide and Stay: Finding Joy in the Vine

Sometimes we spend so much time asking God, “Show me where to go… tell me what to change… point me to the next step…” that we forget to ask the most important question: “Lord… where do You want me to stay?”

In this sermon, we dive into John 15:1-11, where Jesus calls us to abide in Him... stay, remain, root down, and trust the Vine. Abiding isn’t standing still; it’s sitting firmly in Him, letting Him prune what needs to go and strengthen what should remain. True growth, fruitfulness, and joy come not from constant movement, but from connection, trust, and faithfulness right where He has planted us.

Let this message encourage you to stop running, stop yanking yourself out of God’s hands, and find the fullness of joy that comes from abiding in Him. Stay rooted. Grow. Trust. Let the Vine do the work.
