More Than Bread
It's not enough to get into God's Word, we need to let His Word get into us. "More Than Bread" is a podcast featuring Pastor Dan Nold from Calvary Church in State College, PA. It focuses on simply reading the Bible (with a few comments) in the hopes that listening to God's Word, learning from God's Word and leaning into God's Word will shape our hearts, minds, and souls to bring us life. As Jesus said, "We do not live by bread alone, we live by every Word that comes from the mouth of God."
More Than Bread
Valuing God's Words #4 -- John 15:1-11 -- Am I sticking close to Jesus?
Everytime we open the Bible, it can be like sitting down with Jesus. I really believe that, no matter what page we are on. So here's what I want you to do for just a few moments; picture yourself with Jesus, walking by a stream, catching up over a grande coffee. You're sitting by a fire in a little cabin, or talking a walk in the afternoon with the snow gently falling, or like the disciples one Thursday night over 2000 years ago, you are walking through a vineyard. It's evening. You don't know it but Jesus is sharing his last thoughts before he dies on a cross.
And in the space of about 10 minutes he will use the word "remain" at least 8 times. It's a word that he wanted to leave with them...and speak to us. "Remain in me. Let my words remain in you...if you do, your life will be fruitful. In this episode we start to unpack what it means to remain.
