Summary
As we end our week today on abiding in the True Vine, today we’ll explore how to abide in God’s promised joy. What does it mean for us to walk in joy and be people marked by joy in this world? How do we even go about doing that? May we be filled afresh with joy today as we seek these answers out.
Our Scripture for today comes from John 15:11, and today's worship is You Are My Joy by United Pursuit feat. Will Reagan.
