Abiding in the True Vine: From Failure to Fruitfulness
Pastor Harris delivers a faithful, expository treatment of [John 15](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+15&version=KJV), effectively using agricultural imagery to explain the believer's union with Christ. The sermon is theologically sound, correctly distinguishing between the security of salvation and the conditionality of fellowship. While it omits a detailed presentation of the cross (pardoned due to the expository context), it successfully focuses on the practical outworking of the gospel in the believer's daily life.
