Dry doesn’t mean dead. In the kickoff of our Psalms for the Summer series, Pastor Micah unpacks Psalm 42 — a raw, honest cry from the depths of a soul in distress. Have you ever felt like your prayers were hitting the ceiling? Like your worship felt empty? This message reminds us that even in the driest seasons, there’s a river that never runs dry — and His name is Jesus.

If you feel dry, distant, or disconnected, this one’s for you. There’s still water. There’s still hope. Go to the well.

Self-control isn’t just the last fruit of the Spirit—it’s the guardrail that protects them all. In this powerful and practical message, Pastor Micah unpacks how self-control is not about willpower or behavior management, but about Spirit-empowered surrender. It's the ability to say no to sin and self, and yes to the Spirit.

In this sermon, you’ll discover how grace doesn’t just save you—it teaches and empowers you to live a self-controlled, godly life. You’ll learn why living without self-control leaves you vulnerable, how it affects your witness, and why this fruit is key to sustaining every other fruit in your life.

This message will challenge and equip you to crucify the flesh, walk in the Spirit, and choose life daily.

In this message from our Aisle 9 series on the Fruit of the Spirit, we explore gentleness — not as weakness, but as strength surrendered to the Spirit. True gentleness isn't passive; it's powerful, steady, and led.

You’ll learn how meekness opens the door for transformation, how pride shuts it, and why gentleness is essential for restoring others, receiving the Word, and walking like Jesus.

This message will challenge your posture, confront pride, and call you to walk humbly with your God.

In this week’s message, Aisle 9: Faithfulness, Pastor Micah dives deep into the often-overlooked fruit of the Spirit: faithfulness. While faith is foundational, it’s faithfulness that builds the house, unlocks blessing, and reveals the true character of a believer. Using powerful Scripture, practical illustrations (like bricks and walls), and the life of Joseph as a blueprint, this message challenges us to stop chasing hype and start living holy.

You’ll be reminded that:

• God blesses faithfulness, not laziness.
• Faithfulness is your witness.
• The promise of God is often waiting on the other side of the obedience you’ve been avoiding.

If you’ve been praying for more but not faithful with what’s in your hand, this one’s for you.

It’s time to stop being full of faith… and start being faithful.

In this week’s message, Pastor Micah continues our Aisle 9 series by unpacking the Fruit of the Spirit: Goodness. In a world obsessed with appearances, God isn’t fooled by filters or packaging—He’s looking for fruit. Using a powerful illustration with two identical donut boxes, Pastor Micah challenges us to evaluate what we’re truly carrying. Is it something people can taste and see that the Lord is good—or just spiritual trash in a religious box?

We dive into Jesus' words in Matthew 7 and Paul’s in Romans 2 to expose how real goodness isn’t just being nice, it’s a Spirit-empowered life that leads others to repentance, not through fear, but by revealing the goodness of God. This message will stir you to live with substance, not just image, and give you practical ways to work your works and let your life reflect the God who did a good work in you.

In this powerful message, Pastor Micah unpacks what true kindness looks like—not as a soft or passive trait, but as a Spirit-empowered strength that heals, restores, and reflects the heart of the Father. Drawing from Matthew 7 and Galatians 5, we’re reminded that you will know a tree by its fruit—and the fruit of the Spirit reveals who we truly follow.

Kindness isn’t just what God does—it’s who He is. It’s checed—His covenant loyalty, His love in action. From how we correct our children to how we speak to strangers, kindness transforms moments of conflict into opportunities for restoration.

This episode will challenge and encourage you to walk in the Spirit, speak with grace, and live in a way that helps others encounter the Father’s kindness—especially when they least expect it.

In this message, Pastor Micah shares a timely and challenging word from our Aisle 9 series on the fruit of the Spirit—focusing on patience, or as Scripture often calls it, longsuffering.

We live in a world addicted to speed and instant gratification, but the Spirit doesn’t move on our schedule—He moves on God’s. Through Matthew 7 and Galatians 5, Pastor Micah unpacks how patience is not passive waiting, but powerful maturity. It’s not the absence of movement—it’s the presence of trust.

You’ll be encouraged to see your waiting season as a charging station, where God prepares and empowers you for what’s ahead. Because the truth is: God’s power comes to the patient.

Whether you're in a season of delay or just need a reminder to slow down and trust God’s timing, this message will bring edification, exhortation, and comfort to your soul.

In this week’s message, Pastor Micah continues our Aisle 9 series on the Fruit of the Spirit with a deep and timely word on peace—not as a feeling, but as a fruit we’re called to grow and carry.

Drawing from Luke 10:5–6, Philippians 4:6–7, and Isaiah 26:3, Pastor Micah teaches that peacemakers carry the atmosphere of heaven with them. Jesus didn’t just give peace—He told us to carry it, offer it, and live from it. In a world full of conflict and chaos, the call isn’t to stir the storm but to speak to it.

You’ll hear powerful truths like:

• Peace is carried, not created—you walk into rooms releasing God’s presence.
• Peace is discerned—you can’t force it on others, but you can protect your heart.
• Peace is a guard, not a comfort zone—it protects your mind from enemy attacks.
• Peace is fruit, not a feeling—it grows when you're rooted in Christ, not ruled by your emotions.

Whether you're navigating tension in your home, your church, or your own thoughts, this episode equips you with a Kingdom mindset: go in peace, offer peace, and trust God with the response.

💡 Peace isn’t proven in calm—it’s proven in chaos. And by your fruit, they’ll know who you belong to.

This is Aisle 9: Peace. Let’s walk it out.

Some people walk into the room and bring chaos with them. But as followers of Jesus, we’re called to carry something different—peace. Not just the quiet kind, but the kind that makes things whole.

In this episode of Aisle 9, we’re talking about real peace—the kind that doesn’t flinch under pressure, hide from conflict, or settle for false harmony. We’ll unpack what Jesus meant when He said you’ll know people by their fruit, not their gifting or platform. Because peace is fruit. It’s spiritual, not circumstantial. And it’s not about being chill—it’s about being rooted.

We’ll talk about the difference between peacekeepers and peacemakers. One avoids conflict. The other brings healing. One protects comfort. The other restores order. One silences truth. The other speaks it in love.

You weren’t made to blend in with the chaos—you were made to walk in, speak peace, and leave the room better than you found it.

Because peacemakers don’t just change the atmosphere… they carry it.

Joy isn’t just a cute Instagram caption or something that happens when your day goes perfectly. It’s not reserved for when the kids behave, your spouse surprises you with coffee, or the sun hits just right for that family photo. Real joy—the kind that holds steady through chaos, pain, and unanswered prayers—isn’t rooted in our circumstances. It’s rooted in Christ.

In this episode, Pastor Chelsea unpacks the difference between happiness and Holy Spirit-empowered joy. Spoiler: one is a fleeting emotion, the other is deep, sustaining strength. Drawing from Galatians 5 and a whole garden of other Scriptures, she shows us that joy isn’t something you fake—it’s something you grow.

You’ll learn why joy is a fruit, not a feeling, and how rejoicing is actually the fertilizer that cultivates it. From Paul rejoicing in prison to Mary praising God in uncertainty, we’ll see that anchored gladness is possible—even in the pit. Even when your jeans don’t zip. Even when grief feels heavier than hope.

If you’ve felt like your joy is missing, this message will challenge you to check your soil. What are you planting? What are you feeding your spirit? And are you unknowingly sabotaging your own garden?

This week, you’ll be reminded that tears don’t cancel out joy—they water it. You’ll be encouraged to keep sowing even when it’s hard. And you’ll leave with practical, Spirit-led ways to tend to your soul so joy can grow.

Because when your joy is in Jesus, not even the hardest night can stop your morning from coming.
