The 9 - Tapestry Community Church

Self-Control

November 5, 2023 • Pastor Phil Rikard • Luke 9:23

We are responsible for the decisions we make. God has given us the capacity to overcome and control that which does not honor Him. This message walks you through the keys to Spirit led self-control.

Gentleness

October 29, 2023 • Pastor Phil Rikard • Philippians 4:5

Gentleness rises from a soul secure in the love of God. This message walks us through how to be gentle in a hostile world.

Faithfulness

October 22, 2023 • Galatians 5:22–23, John 14:21

We are continuing in our series on the Fruit of the Spirit. This week Pastor Phil is teaching on faithfulness which is fostered through obedience.

Goodness

October 15, 2023 • Pastor Phil Rikard • Psalm 145:9

Goodness flows from the heart of God and manifest in the believer's life through compassion and service to others. On the heels of Tapestry's annual SERVE DAY, Pastor Phil interviews those who served and where they saw God's goodness in action.

Kindness

October 8, 2023 • Pastor Abram Ehl • Galatians 5:22

Associate Pastor Abram Ehl brings this message on kindness; focusing on the fact that Christians can show eternal kindness even when it is inconvenient.

Patience

October 1, 2023 • Pastor Phil Rikard • Psalm 37:7

Patience is not only a virtue; it is a fruit of the Spirit. Waiting is one of the most difficult things we do. Waiting for circumstances to change, waiting for God to show up in a situation, waiting for whatever, requires patience. This message walks us through what to do while you wait.

Peace

September 24, 2023 • Pastor Phil Rikard • John 14:27

The fruit of the Spirit is the manifestation of Jesus' character in the lives of those who follow Him. Prior to His departure to the right hand of the Father, Jesus left His disciples with something very important...PEACE. How does His peace differ from that of the world? Where do you need His peace today?

Joy

September 17, 2023 • Pastor Phil Rikard • Galatians 4:15

Joy in life and in faith increases as we stay in step with the Spirit. In other words, joy rises with our degree of dependence on God. Pastor Phil continues our focus on the fruit of the Spirit by walking us through what fills us with joy and what kills our joy.

Love

September 17, 2023 • Pastor Phil Rikard • Galatians 5:22–23

It's easy to be cynical, point fingers and say the world is going to hell in a hand basket. It's a far greater challenge to walk by the Spirit and be the change we'd like to see. This series takes a practical look at the fruit of the Spirit and how it manifests in our lives to impact those around us. This first message focuses on the foundation of that fruit...LOVE.
