Summary
How do we abide? It seems straightforward, but we often struggle to put it into practice. This week, John Mark tackles this problem as we continue in the Practicing the Way vision series. In this episode, John Mark teaches about the importance of spending time with Jesus. Using key scriptures and church history examples to give a tangible vision of how to “practice the presence of God,” John Mark shows that through abiding, we have access to the peace and joy that Jesus promised as we adopt the spiritual disciplines that Jesus exemplified.
Key Scripture Passages: John 1v35-49; John 14v16-15v8; Galatians 5v13-26

| 0:44.2 | is to order your life around three goals. |
| 0:47.4 | The first goal is to be with Jesus. |
| 0:50.1 | The second is to become like Jesus, |
| 0:52.4 | and the third is to do what he did. |
| 0:54.7 | So over the next two weeks, I want to go deeper on each one of these goals and |
