    People of the Passion - "Mary"

    Play Episode Listen Later Mar 1, 2020 19:14


    This week we explore Mary, Jesus’ mother and the impact of her faith. The minute Mary agreed to be Jesus’ mother she became a Person of the Passion, one of the main characters in the story of Jesus’ last day. After the Christmas story we don’t hear much about Mary until we find her “near the cross” when her son Jesus was crucified. It was at this moment of deep grief we witness Mary’s deep faith.

    Known By Your Fruit - Fruit of the Spirit

    Play Episode Listen Later Oct 13, 2019 20:56


    Jesus promised the gift of the Holy Spirit to lead and empower every Christian (Acts 2:8).  However, as Paul points out in Galatians 5, there is a constant battle between the Holy Spirit and our own sinful desires.  Paul introduces the fruit of the spirit to help Christians identify the evidence of the Holy Spirit in their lives with the nine “fruit” (attributes) he outlines in this passage that all Christians should be producing in their lives.  As we give the Holy Spirit more control of our lives, the Spirit shapes us to be more like Jesus and rid our lives of the evil things in our sinful nature.

    Take the next step. You can play it safe and fly 2000 feet above the highest mountain, or you can learn to be a better pilot and fly through the valleys. We become better neighbors and love people better when we fly with them through the valley’s rather than play it safe and stay clear of their struggles. Playing it safe doesn’t help us grow. Being brave means our trust in God grows, our need for God grows. God is with us in the valley, growing our faith in Him. We don’t need to have every step through the valley planned, we just need to be ready to take the next step.
