What does it really mean to abide in Christ—and how can it change your life into one marked by deep, lasting joy, no matter what you’re walking through? In this powerful sermon, Pastor Ron Cathcart unpacks Jesus’ life-giving words from John 15, revealing how abiding in Him unlocks the secret to bearing fruit and living a life filled with joy.
Staying connected to the true vine—Jesus—doesn’t just lead to momentary happiness; it leads to a life transformed. Pastor Ron helps us understand that true joy is found not in our strength, but in complete dependence on Jesus. As we abide in Him, His love and life begin to flow through us, producing the fruit of the Spirit and drawing us deeper into relationship with Him.
You’ll discover the key difference between happiness and joy—and why joy, rooted in God’s unchanging presence, can remain steady no matter your circumstances. Jesus invites us to a life of purpose, fruitfulness, and eternal impact, all beginning with abiding in Him.
