The Fruit of the Spirit: Joy

This sermon examines the fruit of the Spirit, emphasizing joy as a key Christian witness per Galatians 5. Joy, a divine command, stems from the Holy Spirit and Jesus, the source of unshakable joy (Psalm 16:11, John 15:11), not worldly circumstances. Rooted in Christ’s grace, this joy testifies to others, reflecting God’s grace amid suffering, as Spurgeon said, a Christian’s life is their best sermon. If lacking joy, we must repent and root ourselves in Jesus, the living water, for true joy.

The Fruit of the Spirit: Love

On Father’s Day, God calls men to initiate love and forgiveness, as Jesus did. The sermon series on the fruit of the Spirit highlights love as the core, producing joy, peace, and patience when rooted in the gospel. Despite Satan’s deceptive lies, true fruitfulness comes from trusting Christ’s righteousness. Though our “buckets leak,” Paul’s prayer in Ephesians 3 shows we can love sacrificially by being filled with the Spirit to grasp Christ’s boundless love.

Pentecost: Boldness for Mission

On Pentecost, we celebrate the Holy Spirit’s transformative power, fulfilling God’s promise to dwell with us, as seen in Acts 2, when the Spirit enabled bold gospel proclamation, reversing Babel’s confusion for Christ’s glory. The Spirit assures us as God’s children, empowering us to witness through lives bearing love and joy, embodying, as D.L. Moody said, a sermon for the 99 who read the Christian over the Bible.

The Ascended Lord: Our King, Our Home, Our Call

Transcendent moments in nature, literature, or worship awaken a longing for a lasting home beyond this world. Jesus Christ’s ascension, a triumphant enthronement as King, reveals Him as our true home, interceding and preparing a place for us, empowering us to boldly witness His hope and reign until His return.
