On the first Sunday of 2024, Pastor Abbie starts the year off by unpacking what it really means to abide in Christ. Using the metaphor of vines and branches from John 15, she explores how abiding goes far beyond just waiting - it's about staying connected to Jesus through presence and intentional practices. Abbie issues a convicting yet hopeful call to prune the "dead things killing the rest of the life around us" and make space for the Spirit to work. When we surrender control, abiding in Christ produces lasting fruit in our lives and overflows to those around us. If you long for more of Jesus this year, this message is for you.
