IF You Abide in Me | Laying Aside the Weight (John 15:7)

What happens if we truly abide in Christ?

In this sermon from John 15:1–7, Pastor Eric Brown explores the condition behind spiritual fruit, endurance, and answered prayer. Jesus promises that “if you abide in Me… ask whatever you wish”—but that promise is rooted in surrender, obedience, and remaining connected to Him as the true Vine.

Through a powerful illustration of laying aside the weight, this message challenges believers to release sin, self-will, and burdens Jesus already carried on the cross, and to lean fully on the Holy Spirit for strength.

This episode invites listeners to examine what they are carrying, choose surrender over self-effort, and remain connected to Christ.
