Abide | FDF | Pastor Rob & Laura Koke | Shoreline Church | Sermon

This week, Pastors Rob and Laura team-teach a heartfelt message on *Abiding*—the daily, life-giving connection with Jesus that transforms everything.

We’ve talked about **who He is** and **who we are**… now it's time to talk about *who we’re connected to*.

Because here's the truth: **Without connection, nothing works.**

🪴 From garage doors to grapevines, fake trees to tea mugs, Rob and Laura bring everyday moments to life with one central takeaway:

**You can’t live as a Fully Devoted Follower without staying connected to Jesus.**

about this message

Drawing from John 15 and their own stories, they unpack the spiritual practice of abiding—not as a checklist or a “Sunday-only” kind of faith, but a continual, intimate relationship with God.

Learn how to:

✔ Recognize where your emotional home is

✔ Keep your spiritual appointments

✔ Say no to the right things so you can say yes to the best things

✔ Live with all-day awareness of God’s presence

And discover the *true gift of abiding*: not just strength or peace or clarity—but the joy of being **fully loved by God**.
