About this sermon

Jesus has a secret. In John 15, He reveals it. “These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full” (John 15:11). If you struggle to make the Christian life work, learn what it means to abide in Christ, bear fruit, and experience the lasting joy that Jesus Himself promises. Open your Bible to John 15 and learn the secret to a life of joy. Dr. James MacDonald preaches without apology straight from the pages of Scripture, provoking Christians to think and act on their faith.
