Something Fruity: love / joy / peace
Thursday, October 11, 2007

image rotation Tonight we kicked off a new series titled Something Fruity. Over the next three weeks we'll be looking at the nine different aspects of the Fruit of the Spirit. In the first session we learned that the Fruity of the Spirit is one thing. There aren't nine different fruits to pick and choose from, depending on which we like best. If you look at Galatians 5:22-23 we see that the language used when talking about the Fruit is singular and not plural. All aspects of the Fruit should be visible in the life of someone who has an active relationship with Jesus. Tonight we covered love, joy, and peace. As we seen in 1 Corinthians 13, the very core of love is unselfishness, putting the needs of others before your own. And Romans 15:13 shows us the only way to have true joy & peace in the midst of troubled times is to trust in the Lord. + Message Notes
