Contributed by Tom Fuller on Mar 30, 2008

Many of your ideas about the Holy Spirit are wrong. What is the real role and purpose of Jesus representative on earth in your life?

The Holy Spirit is the best kept secret in Christianity mostly because His purpose and role have been misunderstood. The Holy Spirit is not a grand show master who makes it possible for you to do really cool stuff, or at least appear really cool so people are impressed. The Holy Spirit actually ...read more

The Fruit Of The Spirit "Love" Series

Contributed by Sean Harder on Dec 4, 2009

Love is the preeminent fruit of the Spirit. Without it there are no others.

The entire Bible is a love story. Not like a Harlequin romance, thankfully for us guys. We get to read about war, fishing and death too. But from the creation of the world, through love, for the protection of the Israelites because of love, to the sending of a Saviour out of love, for Jesus ...read more

Scripture: Galatians 5:22-23

The Fruit Of The Spirit "Joy" Series

Contributed by Sean Harder on Dec 4, 2009

This kind of Joy is really a "cheerful, calm, delight, and Christians should experience this joy more than any other people.

Well, we still have the Joy book, Philippians, fairly fresh in our minds from this winter. And as we talk about Joy as a fruit of the spirit we are talking not so much about jumping up and down for joy like when you win the lottery, though it might be like that I suppose. Sometimes I think people ...read more

Scripture: Galatians 5:22-23

The Fruit Of The Spirit "Peace" Series

Contributed by Sean Harder on Dec 4, 2009

Worldly peace never lasts, only the inner peace from our Lord is forever.

Someone once said: “Peace is the brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading.” Isn’t that true whether we’re talking about world peace or inner peace? It seems like it never lasts, and when we have it, we tend to expect that it will only be a matter of time before its ...read more

Scripture: Galatians 5:22-23

The Fruit Of The Spirit "Patience" Series

Contributed by Sean Harder on Dec 4, 2009

Patience is one the more visible fruit. What is patience according to God’s Word?

The word for patience here is “hypomonea” meaning cheerful endurance or perseverance, long-suffering or long-tempered. It is the fruit that allows us to look at people and not their circumstances or behaviour. The part of us that can see beyond the surface to find the true person that God created ...read more

Scripture: Galatians 5:22-23

The Fruit Of The Spirit "Kindness" Series

Contributed by Sean Harder on Dec 4, 2009

Acts of kindness should spread from one person to another until kindness takes everything over.

May I remind us all that Jesus was homeless after he left his job and the majority of the people in his culture thought he was crazy and they were scared of him. He was an outcast, sure he had a faithful group of followers, but the majority of people thought they were nuts too. “As you did to one ...read more

The Fruit Of The Spirit "Goodness" Series

Contributed by Sean Harder on Dec 4, 2009

Kindness is seen in our actions, goodness is seen in our character.

Show Vietnam video. What an amazing example of how goodness and love can overcome trauma of the past, hatred, language & cultural barriers, and bring forgiveness and immediate closeness between two people a world apart.

The Fruit Of The Spirit "Faithfulness" Series

Contributed by Sean Harder on Dec 4, 2009

The Greek translation of faithful is actually persuasive and trustworthy. How often is the second part missing in the church?

What is the worse thing that can happen in a marriage? Wouldn’t most people agree it is unfaithfulness, having an affair? Personally I believe that the most important aspect of love is trust and trustworthiness. Once trust is broken it’s incredibly difficult to totally regain it. It’s like our ...read more

Scripture: Galatians 5:22-23

The Fruit Of The Spirit "Gentleness" Series

Contributed by Sean Harder on Dec 4, 2009

Now we deal with gentleness, which is actually from the same root word as kindness, to be useful. However there are many more uses of the word in the Greek that have slightly different meaning like mildness, meekness, suitableness, and humility.

Begin by reading the Magnificat Luke 1 verses 46-49 and then Luke 2:13-19. I find that passage gives me a sense of the peacefulness and gentleness of the night of Christ’s birth. There’s no better display of gentleness in the Bible than Mary when she found out she was pregnant, and then gave ...read more

Being Spirit Filled

Contributed by Todd Catteau on Dec 19, 2008

What does the Bible say about getting your fill of the Holy Spirit? He yearns to live within us - do we yearn to be his host?
