Fruit of the Spirit : Summer Series

Part 9: Self-control

August 22, 2021 • Pastor Luke Uran • Galatians 5

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.

Part 6: Goodness

August 1, 2021 • Pastor Josh Pardee • Exodus 34:5–7, Exodus 33:19

God defines goodness and extends it to everyone, whether or not they receive it with gratitude. Is it realistic to believe we can live accordingly?

Part 5: Kindness

July 25, 2021 • Pastor Luke Uran

For a look at Christlike kindness during a dark time, we turn to the Old Testament story of Ruth, Naomi and Boaz.

Part 4: Patience

July 18, 2021 • Pastor Luke Uran

Long-suffering patience and forgiveness don't exactly fit our competitive, consumer culture. But they are the way of Jesus and they reveal a lot about how much we trust God.

Part 3: Peace

July 11, 2021 • Pastor Josh Pardee

We all like the idea of peace ... but we think too small. This week we look at true, deep peace as proclaimed and modeled by Jesus. It's available right now.

Part 2: Joy

July 4, 2021 • Pastor Luke Uran

Often, we let our circumstances dictate our state of mind and heart. The Apostle Paul understood this. In his letter to the Philippian church, he outlines a better way to live joyfully.

Part 1: Love

June 27, 2021 • Pastor Luke Uran

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.
