Peace

Fruit of the Spirit

September 1, 2019 • Bryan Dugger • Romans 12:14–21, Philippians 4:4–7

Having peace is more than merely being free from worry or insecurity. Fundamentally, peace is about the abiding assurance of one's ongoing security - especially in the context of relationships. Most notably, there is a peace that comes from the Holy Spirit that is rooted in a wholeness and completeness in one's relationship with God. This is a peace we should be bearing in our life.

Self-Control

November 3, 2019 • Bryan Dugger • Daniel 1:1–9

God wants His people to exercise disciplined self-restraint while trusting Him to handle the "big picture" of our circumstances. Self-control, then, is about the proper fulfilling of our desires and living submitted to God's perfect will.

Gentleness

October 27, 2019 • Bryan Dugger • Matthew 11:28–30, Galatians 6:1–2

Gentleness is not a weakness. It is a kind and humble empathy that is neither easily provoked nor slow to forgive. Even more, it is a virtue and fruit of the Holy Spirit that God expects and enables Christians to possess and display.

Faithfulness

October 13, 2019 • Bryan Dugger • Proverbs 3:1–6, Colossians 4:7–9

God's faithfulness to you is unmatched. And because we are shown this incomparable faithfulness, He expects us to follow His example.
