This is the story from John's gospel of Jesus' invitation to some new disciples to come and follow him. The text is John 1:35-51.

The second half of a sermon series on things lost and found, sheep, coins, and a son, from Luke chapter 15:11-32.

So Jesus talks about those who were lost but now are found and God's joy, just as he sits and eats with taxcollectors and sinners. All from Luke 15:1-10.

The last of the fruit of the Spirit is self-control and in my mind it is the most difficult. Or maybe the one I least like to let shine! The scripture reading is about King David from 1 Samuel 26:1=23.

Gentleness is a fruit of the Spirit. Be gentle just as Jesus was! From 1 Thessalonians 2:1-12

This sermon looks at the fruit of the Spirit faithfulness using the story of Israel's experience in 2 Chronicles 20:20-30!

We are talking about the fruit of the Spirit "goodness". And looking at Psalm 107. God is kind because he is good, and so should we be.

One of the fruit of the Spirit is kindness. King David shared it with Saul' grandson. We are to share it with the world.

Patience is one of the fruits of the Spirit, but boy is it one that is really hard to put to work. The scriptura is from Matthew 18:21-35 where Jesus answers Peter's question about forgiveness, and reveals God's patience in the process!

Studying the fruit of the Spirit we come to peace, and look at Isaiah 43:1-7!
