In this sermon series on Galatians 5, we examine how spiritual fruit depends on the soil of our lives. True peace, unlike Roman control, is a divine gift from reconciliation with God through faith in Jesus, bringing well-being and freedom from fear. This peace enables us to trust God amid chaos, making our lives a witness to Christ’s hope in a dark world.

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.
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.
