About this sermon

If joy is so critical to the Christian life, then how does it relate to saving faith? Is it the happy product of faith, or is it an essential piece of all saving faith? John Piper explores the relationship between our faith in Jesus and our joy in him. This video is the fourth of a six-part series on the theme of joy in the book of Philippians. https://desiringgod.org/joy
