This message launches the “Next” series with a simple foundation for following Jesus: be with Jesus, become like Jesus, and be on mission with Jesus. Rich teaches from John 15 that fruitfulness doesn’t come from striving—it comes from remaining (abiding) in Christ. He also challenges us to confront the quiet threat of distraction and ask, “Who or what is discipling you?” As we begin 21 Days of Prayer, this is an invitation to re-center your life on intimacy with Jesus and take a clear next step.
