The Fruit of the Spirit: Kindness
In this sermon, we examine kindness, a fruit of the Spirit from Galatians 5:22-23, as a Christ-like action meeting human needs with sympathy, not just a gentle disposition. Rooted in God’s grace through Jesus (Romans 2:4, Ephesians 2), it enables believers to show kindness to the ungrateful, as taught in Luke 6, serving as a powerful witness to Christ, exemplified by Allison’s kindness through letters mission.
The Fruit of the Spirit: Patience
In our summer series on the fruit of the Spirit from Galatians 5, we explore how the Holy Spirit empowers believers to bear good fruit. Today’s focus is patience, meaning “long-suffering,” which counters our impatient, control-seeking nature. By rooting ourselves in God’s gracious patience, seen in His mercy toward Israel and Jesus’ endurance on the cross, we cultivate patience to endure trials, forgive others, and shine as witnesses to Christ’s love in an impatient world through the Spirit’s work.
The Fruit of the Spirit: Peace
In this sermon series on Galatians 5, we examine how spiritual fruit depends on the soil of our lives. True peace, unlike Roman control, is a divine gift from reconciliation with God through faith in Jesus, bringing well-being and freedom from fear. This peace enables us to trust God amid chaos, making our lives a witness to Christ’s hope in a dark world.
The Fruit of the Spirit: Joy
This sermon examines the fruit of the Spirit, emphasizing joy as a key Christian witness per Galatians 5. Joy, a divine command, stems from the Holy Spirit and Jesus, the source of unshakable joy (Psalm 16:11, John 15:11), not worldly circumstances. Rooted in Christ’s grace, this joy testifies to others, reflecting God’s grace amid suffering, as Spurgeon said, a Christian’s life is their best sermon. If lacking joy, we must repent and root ourselves in Jesus, the living water, for true joy.
The Fruit of the Spirit: Love
On Father’s Day, God calls men to initiate love and forgiveness, as Jesus did. The sermon series on the fruit of the Spirit highlights love as the core, producing joy, peace, and patience when rooted in the gospel. Despite Satan’s deceptive lies, true fruitfulness comes from trusting Christ’s righteousness. Though our “buckets leak,” Paul’s prayer in Ephesians 3 shows we can love sacrificially by being filled with the Spirit to grasp Christ’s boundless love.
Pentecost: Boldness for Mission
On Pentecost, we celebrate the Holy Spirit’s transformative power, fulfilling God’s promise to dwell with us, as seen in Acts 2, when the Spirit enabled bold gospel proclamation, reversing Babel’s confusion for Christ’s glory. The Spirit assures us as God’s children, empowering us to witness through lives bearing love and joy, embodying, as D.L. Moody said, a sermon for the 99 who read the Christian over the Bible.
The Ascended Lord: Our King, Our Home, Our Call
Transcendent moments in nature, literature, or worship awaken a longing for a lasting home beyond this world. Jesus Christ’s ascension, a triumphant enthronement as King, reveals Him as our true home, interceding and preparing a place for us, empowering us to boldly witness His hope and reign until His return.
The Helper Who Points Us To Jesus
In John 14:21-29, Jesus promises His anxious disciples the Holy Spirit, a helper who guides them in truth, teaches and recalls His words, empowers bold living for Him, transforms hearts, and assures them they are never alone.

A mother’s sacrificial love, guidance, and protection, though imperfect, mirror God’s providence and find ultimate fulfillment in Jesus, who loves us, knows us intimately, and secures us eternally (John 10:22-30).
