    We are practicing this abiding in Christ as we worship together with the hope that it will continue after the benediction is pronounced and the postlude ends.

    Like the good shepherd of last week’s text, this week’s image of the vine is another extended metaphor, which also borrows from and adapts Old Testament imagery for Israel.

     | 607 views

    We are in a critical hour—an hour when the true worshippers must rise and seek the face of God. Revival will not come to those who are passive, distracted, or indifferent. It will come to those who cry out, break up their fallow ground, live in righteousness, and seek the Lord with all their hearts.

    Saul, the first king of Israel, had been a good and godly man at the beginning of his reign, but his rejection of God's plans for his life and his refusal to walk with the LORD brought about his inevitable downfall and demise.

     | 2,065 views

    The consequences of backsliding are severe and should never be taken lightly. It leads to a loss of fellowship with God, vulnerability to the enemy, a hardened heart, disqualification from divine purpose, and, ultimately, the risk of eternal separation from God.
