Patience truly is a virtue, and a fruit of the Spirit that should be embraced rather than eschewed.

This message explores the relationship between vine and branches. A healthy vine will send nourishment to its branches, and healthy branches will bear healthy fruit. So, if Jesus is the vine, and we are the branches, then what hinders many believers from expressing the fruit of the Spirit? Through this message, the shade is lifted and the primary enemy of peace is revealed. It may be very different than you think.

The thieves of a believer’s joy are not the cares of this world. The thieves of joy are much more sinister. The thieves that rob believers of their joy are: condemnation, conditions, comparison, and commandments. Through the message, I want us to see that these menacing thieves lose their strength in the presence of new covenant truth. Through a correct understanding of the Gospel, these thieves will never pickpocket your soul again.
