On Sunday, 31st August, we welcomed guest speaker Jason Jr. Heron to close out our Summer Fruit campaign with a powerful and timely message on faithfulness. Drawing from both scripture and personal insight, Jason encouraged us to remain steadfast in our walk with God, especially in seasons of waiting and challenge. His message reminded us that true fruitfulness is rooted in consistent, faithful living—finishing well in all that God has called us to.

This week at Elim Northampton, we're honoured to welcome Pastor Mark Ryan as our special guest speaker.

Continuing our Summer Fruit series, Ps Mark unpacks the powerful and often underestimated fruit of the Spirit — Kindness. With wisdom, warmth, and biblical insight, he challenges us to live out a radical, Spirit-led kindness in a world that desperately needs it.

Whether you're part of our Elim family or just tuning in, this message will inspire and equip you to grow in your faith and reflect Christ in your everyday life.

📖 “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness...” – Galatians 5:22

In this uplifting message, our worship leader Donna Akodu unpacks the fruit of JOY as part of our Summer Fruits series on the Fruit of the Spirit. Drawing from Scripture and personal insight, Donna challenges us to pursue a joy that’s rooted not in circumstance, but in the unchanging presence of God. Be encouraged and inspired to live with a joy that overflows!

In this powerful message from our Summer Fruit series, Pastor Jason Heron dives into the third fruit of the Spirit—Peace. Preached on August 10th, this sermon explores what it truly means to live in the peace of God in a world full of anxiety, conflict, and uncertainty. Pastor Jason unpacks how peace is not just a feeling but a deep, abiding state that comes from trusting in God’s presence and promises.

Whether you're facing personal storms or simply longing for a more grounded, Spirit-led life, this message will encourage and challenge you to embrace the peace that only Christ can offer.

In his message titled "Fruitful Soil," Pastor Jason Heron explored the parable of the sower from Matthew 13. He highlighted how the same seed (God's Word) produces different results depending on the condition of the soil (our hearts). Pastor Jason challenged the congregation to examine the state of their own hearts, asking if they were like the path, the rocky ground, or the thorny ground, which all prevent the seed from taking root and bearing fruit. He emphasized that to be fruitful soil, our hearts must be prepared to receive and nurture God's Word, allowing it to grow deep roots and produce a harvest of righteousness. This powerful message served as a call to cultivate a receptive, soft, and weed-free heart so that we can bear abundant fruit for the Kingdom.

In this thought-provoking sermon, Pastor Jason Heron distinguishes between self-control and self-discipline. He explains that self-control is the ability to say "no" when tempted, while self-discipline is the strength to say "yes" even when your flesh resists. Drawing from Scripture, Pastor Jason challenges believers to embrace both qualities, showing how they are essential for living out the fruit of the Spirit in daily life.
