12 26 2024 Abiding in Jesus · Your Daily Portion with L. David Harris

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: much because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: for today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: yesterday's portion of heavenly manna the word of God to
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: keep us through today's challenges. On this program, we are
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: going to change all of that. Let's experience God's words
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: today and receive the power we need to live healthy,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: vibrant lives. Welcome to your Daily Portion with your host,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: author speaker, Elle David Harris.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning, Good morning. It is Thursday, December
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: twenty six, twenty twenty four. Hello, my name is El
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: David Harris. I am your host, and this is your
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: Daily Portion where we give you God's Word every single day,
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: and today is no exception. We are continuing in our
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: Lesson study series themes in the Gospel of John and
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: our caption for today is abiding in Jesus. So we're
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: going to talk about that in just a moment. But
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: first I'd like to say welcome to you and ask
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: you to go over to your Daily Portion dot com.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: Please join our online community. I need you to pick
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: up the Companion Guide. You need the Companion Guide for
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: Life application based on this lesson study. You can see
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: it in your description there. If you're on social media
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: or on YouTube or in a podcasting aggregator. Side, if
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: you are just listening on radio or watching on television,
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: go to your Daily Portion dot com. Click that big
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: red button and you will see how to get that guide. Okay,
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: and that is again at your Daily Portion dot com.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: This is one of the ways that we continue to
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: build faith and fellowship. Let's go ahead and pray and
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: then we will get underway. Father in Heaven, thank you
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: for today. Please teach us to abide. Abide in Jesus.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: In Jesus name, I pray, Amen and Amen again. Okay.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: And so yesterday I didn't talk about the theology from
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: beneath because it was beneath me. Okay, I just made
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: that up. But really and truly, there are too many
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: times that we focus on the wrong side of the argument. Okay.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: So I will say very quickly and briefly that the
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: theology from beneath is always trying to examine and put
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: God under a microscope, put him on trial. And by
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: the way, when they do get to see godly movements,
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: then they are not obedient to what God says, And
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: so the theology from beneath really is about human argumentation.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: It's to determine whether God is worthy to be served,
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: Like if God doesn't act in the way that I
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: consider to be godly or god like, like, I won't
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: serve him. Come down now from the cross, and then
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: I will worship you, or wake my husband, wake my
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: child up who has died, or else I'm not going
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: to believe you. If you are God, then please pay
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: my rent for me. You see what I mean, Like
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: let the sun go backward. I seen you do it
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: in the Bible. And it's like, oh, so you think
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: you can put God on trial, like you can actually
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: put God to the test so that he has to
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: bow and scuffle and do what you say in order
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: to determine if he indeed is divine and holy and
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: omniscient and perfect. No no, no, no, no, no no no.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: God is not on trial. He is not on trial.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: That is the theology from beneath. We already talked about
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: yesterday what it's like from above, and so I'll share
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: just a little bit from him because we're talking about
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: abiding in Christ. And so I'm going to share just
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: a little bit of abide with me in that vein.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: This is what we're after the kind of relationship that abides.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: Abide with me, fast falls, the even tide, the dark,
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: nasty pens.
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: Lord with me, abide.
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: When a other he burs, fall and comforts flee hell
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: by the helpless sol.
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: Hebide with me, swift to its close.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: Ass out lies live little day, earth joy's growned, its glories,
• 5:11

• 5:27

  Speaker 3: and strength can be.

  Speaker 6: The cloud and sunshine.
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: Oh aby.

  Speaker 6: With me, a fear no fall with the at hand to.
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: Bless is they have no weight and tears, they have

  Speaker 4: no bittern.

• 7:35
  Speaker 5: Hands morning breaks and earth vain shadows.
• 7:43
  Speaker 7: Flee in life, in death, Oh Lord, aby with.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Me.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: If God forbid we should die, We're just looking forward
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: to the day when we will live again. If we
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: have faith in God. And so what I want you
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: to do today. I know I sang all the way
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: through this, but I want you to focus your attention
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: on John chapter fifteen. And I want you to see.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: I am the vine, the true vine, and my Father
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: is the Husbandman. Every branch in me that beareth not fruit,
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: he taketh away, and every branch that beareth fruit he
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: prunes it. He purges it that it may bring forth
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: more fruit. Now ye are clean through the word which
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: I have spoken to you. Here it comes. Abide in
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: me and I in you. That's why we sang today.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: That's why we listen today. That's why we paused in
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: this moment in time today, because we're running along sometimes
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: too quickly. We're on the hamster wheel of life, trying
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: to be successful, trying in our own strength to be holy.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: But Jesus is saying, I need you to pause. I
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: need you to determine. Are you connected to me? Abide
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: in me, Abide in me, and I in you. As
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: a branch cannot bear fruit of itself except abide in
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: the vine. No more can ye accept ye abide in me.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: Here it comes at the end of verse five. Accept
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: it it says the same, bringeth forth much fruit, for
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: without me you can do nothing. So that means you
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: can do all things through Christ, which strengthens you. Abide
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: in Jesus. Abide in Jesus. Abide in Jesus, and be
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: saved and help.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: Others too be Thanks for joining us listening. Friends. Always
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: remember we cannot live by bread alone, but by every
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: word that comes from the mouth of God. This has
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: been your daily portion with El. David Harris, make it
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: a great day.
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah,
