In this midweek check-in, we are reminded that faithfulness is about trusting that God will remain faithful in our journey — and all the highs and lows that make it up.

Faithfulness is about God, not us. It's learning to trust that God remains faithful even when it feels or seems like He's not.

Today, we’re looking at three closely connected fruits of the Spirit — kindness, goodness, and gentleness — and how they shape the way we forgive. True forgiveness isn’t always easy, but when these qualities take root in us, they help us respond with the same grace we’ve received.

The life of Joseph in the Old Testament may be compared to the life of Jesus in many ways, including the fruits of his spirit. 

In this midweek check-in, we explore patience and self-control through the timeless fable of the Tortoise and the Hare. These quiet but powerful Fruits of the Spirit remind us that faith isn’t about speed or flash, but about steady endurance and daily discipline.

Our natural instinct in stressful situations is to react immediately. But the harder, supernatural work of the Spirit is to help us pause instead of pushing forward. 

Happiness depends on things, but true joy and peace are found through God’s Spirit.

This week on our midweek check-in, we’re talking about the very first fruit: love. Not the warm, fuzzy kind, but agapē love — the sacrificial love that looks like Jesus. From Esther’s courageous choice to a parent’s everyday sacrifices, we’ll explore how real love chooses someone else’s good, even when it costs us.

We're kicking off Week One of the Fruit of the Spirit series with the big daddy of them all—looooooooove! Not just any love but agapē love—the kind of love that looks like Jesus. And that's the best kind of love there is.
