This six-week series from the Gospel of John focuses on a block of teaching by Jesus concerning the Christian life and the role of the Holy Spirit in living out our faith. In this series, we will see the relevancy of Jesus’s teaching for our lives today as we seek to be his faithful witnesses to the world.

Points to ponder:

Bible study questions are from the 'Hope lives' series.

1. What "fruit" will be the outcome of abiding in Jesus?

2. What does this passage say is required for "abiding" in Jesus?

3. What do you think Jesus meant by the command "abide in my love" (verse 9); what are you doing when you are actively fulfilling this command, "abide in my love"?
