What's up online family. Aaron Smith here. Hey, we are so excited that you have tuned into the

Upper Room Dallas podcast. This weekend I preached a message out of John 15 where Jesus says,

I am the true vine. Abide in me and I in you. And my prayer is as you listen to this message,

you feel the leadership of Jesus inviting you to slow down in the season, to abide in him, to rest in his words, and to prioritize first love. And so I'm praying

that you're encouraged, that you're built with faith, and that you see Jesus a little more as you

listen to this. I love you. Thanks for tuning in.

How are you tonight?

Good.

If you have your Bible is open up to John 15.

How many of you want to encounter God tonight?

More than we already have.

I'm going to open the Bible, obviously, had you opened to John 15.

We're going to read the Bible.

I'm going to tell you some stories.

And then we're going to pray at the end of the night.

And I'm believing that God is about to drop a bomb in this room of his love.

I feel it so strong. Last night and this morning, both right here, I think this is the portals over here,

but there was someone this morning and there was someone last night. Last night it was a guy he was visiting from South Korea and he was so encountering the love of God he couldn't even talk to me

I was trying to ask him questions and he couldn't get the words out so I ended up just put my arms

around him and said let's just pray and the love of God just began to wash him and this morning there was a

there was a woman she came up to me and um long story short same thing she just started weeping she she encountered the love of god and

um when we left service this morning um my my goal my agenda was to take a nap
