This One Thing

Join us as Pastor Matt Smith shares part 1 of a new series we are calling, “Fruitful”.

In this new series, we are attentively walking through each of the fruits of the Spirit that Paul
outlines in Galatians 5. Love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
gentleness and self-control are not by-products of our circumstances, but the outpouring of one
who loves God and is led by the Spirit.

The first of these fruits is love - a word we over-use & misuse to cover everything from Chick-Fil-A
sauce to our spouse. More than just a shortcoming of the English language, our
misunderstanding and misapplication of love is a result of not fully understanding and
accepting God’s great love for us. The love that a follower of Jesus demonstrates to the world
should and must look different than any other love encountered on earth.
