As we open a summer series about the fruit of the Spirit, we look first at what these qualities say about a person, and how to get them. Then, we look at love from the lens of one of the Bible's most-quoted passages.
In the final week of this series, we look at how a Spirit-led life enables us to bear all of the fruit mentioned by Paul, including the Christlike trait of self-control — which a self-indulgent culture tends to dismiss.
Part 8: Gentleness
August 15, 2021 • Pastor Luke Uran • Galatians 5:22–23, Matthew 11:28–29, 1 Thessalonians 2:1–12
In our competitive culture, gentleness can be overlooked or even dismissed as weakness. A look at the life and words of Jesus, and later Paul, reveals a very different picture.
Part 7: Faithfulness
August 8, 2021 • Pastor Luke Uran • Luke 10:38–42, Galatians 5:22–23
A familiar story — Jesus' conversation with Mary and Martha — sheds light on what a life of faithfulness looks like. It's deeper than the way we all tend to understand this passage.
