Harvest Thanksgiving | John 15:1–17 | Bishop Darren McCartney

In this Harvest service at St Paul’s & St Barnabas, Belfast, we welcomed Bishop Darren McCartney, Rector of St Paul’s Lisburn, as our guest preacher. Preaching from John 15:1 - 17, Bishop Darren reflects on Jesus as the true vine, the Father as the gardener, and the call for believers to remain in Christ and bear fruit that lasts. He reminds us that pruning, though painful, leads to greater fruitfulness, and that abiding in Christ shapes our lives with the love and likeness of Jesus.Listen in as we give thanks for God’s goodness and are challenged to live fruitful lives rooted in Christ.
