    A series based on the Fruit of the Spirit, helping us reach our full potential.

    Fruit of the Spirit - Joy Galatians 5:22-23 April 15, 2018 I need to admit I’m kind of confused. I’m not really sure what’s going to make me happy! I was thinking about a new car.

    The season of Christmas is a time to experience comfort and joy from what God has done in Jesus.

    INTRODUCTION • We are in the Christmas season! • This season should be a time for joy, but many struggle with the concept of joy because their lives lay in ruin. • Sometimes, the ruin is self-inflicted; other times, the ruin is inflicted upon us. • There is hope! • I want to draw your attention to ...read more

    "I believe that the secret lies in the way Jesus looked at people, seeing beyond their weaknesses and failings"

    Thursday of 15th Week in Course Wisdom is depicted as having a feminine nature; from that the Fathers of the Church applied much of what we read in the Book of Wisdom either to the Blessed Virgin Mary or to the Church. But that has more to do with linguistics than theology. In Greek, the word ...read more

    If you and I have Jesus in common, our faith and love and passion for Christ will naturally be for each other as well.

    THE JOY OF BEING ONE I have a theory. It is a simple theory based on my observations of the Church. Here’s the theory: Put two people in the same room, leaving them alone, and in time they will find something to disagree about. I told you it was simple. The theory itself is one that I have ...read more

Each week, I’ve shared a core truth from each section of the book of Philippians, and I want to briefly remind you of those this ...read more

    The Spirit is the source of our joy.

    Fruit of the Spirit – JOY Galatians 5:22-3 What is this thing called Joy? Joy is a rather illusive thing to define. It’s like happiness, but it is much deeper than happiness, it is like pleasure but it is deeper than pleasure. C. Davis in the Evangelical Dictionary of Theology says this: “A ...read more

    Pain Turned Into Joy Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 12, 2009
    based on 12 ratings
     | 18,254 views

    It seems unreal that pain could be turned into joy. Yet pain is the very stuff of joy. It will come, not instantaneously, but completely. The risen Christ proves this, and can transform our disappointments, disillusionments, and shame into joy.

    “You will have pain, but y our pain will turn into joy.” That brings back memories of the doctor’s office and that giant needle moving ever closer. “This will hurt a little bit.” A little bit! When you are a year old, it hurts a lot, and there is no joy in it. No, I do not remember being one ...read more

    Bottom Line: Joy flourishes when we share in God’s mission together.

    Happy New Year! I’m so thankful that you’ve joined us in worship today! Let me guess — some of us probably made a resolution or two, did some self-evaluation, and set a few goals for the upcoming year. That’s something most of us do, and let me just say it’s a good thing. It’s important to take a ...read more
