John 15:5
New International Version (NIV)
5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.
Pastor Peter began a new sermon series on what it means to be just “WITH” God. God is usually a priority in our lives, but how often is He THE priority? We often ask and receive things from God, or do things for God, but do we ever just BE with God? In John 15:5, Jesus warns that abiding in Him is a matter of life and death. We are dependent on Jesus for life, and can only grow as a result of being connected to Him. Growing is a result of simply being in communion with God, not something we must do. Do we have a yearning to be with God as an end in itself rather than just as a means for comfort and provision? In the coming weeks, NOC will explore ways to just be WITH God.
