In this powerful conclusion to the Fruit of the Spirit series, Pastor Anthony Does unpacks John 15:1–17 to show that self-control flows not from willpower but from abiding in Christ. He highlights Jesus’ astonishing promises, answered prayer, lasting fruit, full joy, and friendship with God and reveals the single key that activates them: “abide” (meno), a call to remain, rest, and dwell in Him. Pastor Anthony concludes with three practical pathways to cultivate this life: reset small daily habits of abiding, let Scripture dwell richly in you through meditation and prayer, and lean into God’s pruning seasons with trust instead of resistance. The result is the Spirit’s joy, a resilient, defiant gladness that persists even in suffering, sealed with a Prayer of Relinquishment that surrenders our plans, fears, and need for control to the Vinedresser.
