abide: a 7 day challenge

by Daryl Merrill

In this 7-day spiritual journey, Pastor Daryl Merrill guides you into the heart of what Jesus meant when He called us to remain, dwell, rest, and live in Him. Drawing from John 15 and other biblical passages, ABIDE offers a simple yet powerful daily rhythm to deepen your relationship with God in the new year.

Day 6 — Allowing God to produce His life in you

Day 7 — Remaining through every season
