Every Christian I know wants to live an effective life for Jesus.

The key to succeeding in this is abiding in Him.

Abiding in Christ is foundational to sintering your whole life around God.

Tapping into Christ's presence and power is what will allow you to bear good fruit in

this life.

It's my hope that after today, you are more equipped and empowered to live out a life

centered around God.

Welcome to the 1st of Teen Podcast.

Our verse for today comes from John 15-5.

Scripture says, Whoever abides in me and I in Him, He is that bears much fruit.

For apart from me, you can do nothing.

So often, out of a right desire to do good in God-honoring works, we try and force fruit

out of ourselves.

Without taking the time to rest and receive the nutrients we can only get from abiding

in our Heavenly Father.

A branch disconnected from an apple tree can no more produce good fruit than you and

I can do good works apart from continually abiding in the love, grace and presence of

God.

Without truly sintering our lives around meeting with God, we'll never produce the fruit

we're created to make.

Jesus taught us in John 15-5.

I am the true vine and my father is the vine dresser.
