"The Fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control."

This Sunday, we will explore how to grow the fruit of joy in our lives. Pastor and author Paul David Tripp notes, “A joyful life of grace towards others grows best in the soil of gratitude.” We bear the fruit of joy when we thank the Lord for being the “giver of immortal gladness.” He has turned mourning into dancing, shame into glory, and graves into gardens.

Series Summary:The world is constantly competing for our affection — pulling at our desires, shaping our habits, and promising a version of the good life that ultimately leaves us empty. But God made us to be planted in something better, tending to us in ways we may not even realize, growing the Fruit of the Spirit within us from the inside out. This summer, we'll explore Galatians 5 and discover how to position ourselves to receive what only God can produce — and what it looks like when we truly flourish.

In this passage from 1st Peter chapter 5 we see that Peter is speaking first to an elder audience about how it is that they are to shepherd the flock and the character that they are to exhibit while they are shepherding. Second, there is the call to those who are younger people in the life of the church to put on humility rather than pride. Third, Peter then encourages the church as to how they manage adversity, anxiety, and demonic attack. Forth, there is also a final encouragement of how God's grace and healing will restore them after they have lived faithfully.



We’ll explore one of life’s most important questions: What does a changed life actually look like for someone following Jesus? In 1 Peter 4, we’ll discover how Christ transforms our mindset, priorities, relationships, and purpose—and why that transformation often becomes visible to the people around us. Join us as we learn how to live in such a way that people are pointed to Jesus.

The truth is this: a beautiful life, lived by a woman OR a man, single or married, can speak powerfully of the love and reality and transforming power of Jesus.
