Peace is a part of Jesus' character that the Holy Spirit is developing in every Christian. It's not dependent on what's happening around us but is rooted in God's unchanging presence. This peace was secured through Jesus and grows as we learn to surrender and trust Him. The Spirit's work in us is to shape our hearts so that Christ's peace becomes evident in our lives and overflows to others.

Today we begin a brand-new sermon series on the Fruit of the Spirit from Galatians 5 called A Life Worth Living. We start with the first two fruits—love and joy. Love is the foundation on which everything else is built, and a life worth living is rooted in God's love. From that love flows true joy—a deep satisfaction found not in circumstances, but in our relationship with Him.

Scripture: Galatians 5:22-23, Colossians 3:14, Romans 8:28-30

Our Lord Jesus came not to be served, but to serve. He knelt to wash His disciples' feet, showing the depth of His humility and love, reminding them that they were already completely clean. He calls His followers to do the same—serving others with that same spirit of humble obedience.

Scriptures: John 13: 1-15

As we conclude our time in Jonah, chapter 4 reveals a powerful truth: Feelings change, but God's character does not. While Jonah wrestles with frustration and anger, God remains patient, compassionate, and consistent—offering grace not just to Nineveh, but to Jonah too.

Scriptures: Jonah 4

Jonah 3 shows that a right relationship with God begins with repentance. God uses a rescued messenger with a simple message to spark the right response—turning hearts back to Him.

Scripture: Jonah 3

Today, we dive into Jonah 2 and wrestle with the powerful truths of this remarkable story. As we closely examine Jonah's journey, his confession, and his prayer, we seek to apply its timeless lessons to our daily lives.

Scripture: Jonah 2

A right relationship with God requires running toward repentance, not away from it. Disobedience is costly, and since God is in control, our faith should reflect trust, surrender, and alignment with His will.

Scripture: Jonah 1

1 Timothy 6 teaches that greed distorts godliness, turning faith into a tool for personal gain. It robs us of true contentment and traps us in endless striving. Paul reminds us that we came with nothing and leave with nothing. The way to fight greed is through generosity, which frees our hearts and realigns us with what truly matters.

Scripture: 1 Timothy 6

The Church holds a unique calling to care for people, embodying God's unmatched love and grace. In 1 Timothy 5, Paul offers clear and practical instructions on how this care should be lived out within the Church family.

Scriptures: 1 Timothy 5

In 1 Timothy 4, Paul reminds us that being a good servant of Christ Jesus means staying anchored in truth, consistently training in godliness, and faithfully teaching others. This passage calls us to spiritual discipline and devotion that leads to lasting impact.
