When we talk about the fruit of the Spirit there is an important distinction. This fruit is OF THE SPIRIT. Too often we attempt to substitute supernatural fruit for that of the synthetic man-made variety.

We are taking a break from our "Gospel of John" series and entering a mini-series entitled: "Markers of Maturity". In this video Pastor Lucas helps us frame the conversation as we discover the fruit of the Spirit.

Though we would like to know the mechanics of everything eternal and get a peek behind the curtain to see how God works we are confronted with the mystery.

But in pursuit of understanding the mystery let's not get distracted from the main thing. As we continue our series in John, Jesus makes some hard truth claims about both salvation and the end of days.

The opportunities for awe are all around us and yet we tend to miss them for any number of reasons. In this video Pastor Lisa encourages and challenges each of us to see the awe in Jesus and His works once again.

On the surface, we would all say we want to be healed but there is more to the question than what we see on the surface. As we look to the Healer in John's Gospel we find hope and a shift in our perspective.

Where do you turn when life doesn't go quite like you expect it to? We seek answers to this question from the Gospel of John and we also take a tour around the world to discover how Moms are celebrated.

"Is there a gap between what you're doing and what you were made to do"? This question might very well change you're life as you discover that living with purpose beats pursuing passion every day of the week.

Hope for one can bring healing to a community.

"Of whatever waters of comfort we drink, we shall thirst again. But whoever partakes of the Spirit of grace, and the comforts of the gospel, shall never want that which will abundantly satisfy his soul." - Matthew Henry

Unhealthy competition can kill your ability to authentically celebrate the successes of others. Pastor Markus shares a moment found in the Gospel of John when unhealthy competition causes some to miss the main thing.

It's the motive behind an act that gives it meaning. John gives us an insight into the motivation of God's heart and how He changes our standing when compared to His holiness.
