Patience

Living by the Spirit's Power

July 27, 2014 • Pastor Doug Vance

How is patience not passive? What are some examples the early church showed patience and living in harmony as well as waiting through difficult times? How is God patient with us?

Gentleness

August 24, 2014 • Pastor Doug Vance

Meekness does not mean weakness. We all have power in some way. Gentleness is allowing God to guide that power so that the result is love instead of destruction.

Faithfulness

August 17, 2014 • Pastor Jamey Stuart

http://faithfulness...so rare but essential. Since it is such a rare commodity, the only real way to examine faithfulness is to study God himself. When we do, we get a glimpse of what this quality should look like in us. God is faithful to keep his promises (shouldn't we be people of our word?). God is faithful even when we suffer (don't doubt God based on your current circumstances). God is faithful when we sin (shouldn't we stick with those who disappoint us?). God also rewards faithfulness, in the life to come, AND this life.

Goodness

August 10, 2014 • Pastor Mark Kent

How good is good? We seem to have a variety of standards as to how good we are. I think most of us are using the wrong comparison in measuring our goodness. We will talk about the standard and what we need to do to raise our personal standards.
