Fruit ou légume ? Il est parfois difficile de faire le distinguo. Spontanément, on a tendance à se dire que tout ce qui est sucré (pommes, pêches, cerises) est un fruit alors que tout ce qu'on mange plutôt salé est un légume. Sauf que petit problème : dans le monde, on ne mange pas toujours les fruits et légumes de la même façon. Par exemple l'avocat, grand classique des entrées salées, peut aussi se manger en dessert sucré, au Brésil... Dans "Ah Ouais ?", Florian Gazan répond en une minute chrono à toutes les questions essentielles, existentielles, parfois complètement absurdes, qui vous traversent la tête.

We live in a culture in which many believe that the fruit of the spirit are character traits people are born with, and those who are not born with these attributes must work to attain them. In reality, we do not bear fruit through our own efforts but by yielding to the Holy Spirit. In this series, we'll dissect each fruit, differentiating real fruit from its worldly counterpart.

In this stirring lesson, Brother Singh reminds us that abiding in Christ is not measured by gifts, emotions, or outward success, but by the quiet fruit of a transformed life. True discipleship is attested through obedience, humility, and the love that reflects the very nature of Christ. Paul referred to these qualities as the Fruit of the Spirit.

Unnecessarily crammed with junk, this year's spooky six-pack is an adjunct party that no one ever wanted to be invited to, as we're on to our ninth iteration of the infamous Torture Test. We both try to outdo one another by attacking our flavor weaknesses - or just finding straight-up old catastrophes of beers that were probably never good in the first place. The goal is to avoid the Cuvée of Doom, but we can't avoid descriptors like "rancid piña colada," "wet basement cardboard," dirty old pennies," "liquified grandma's candy," and "diet medicine." But also, you can find out what keeps Ryan awake at night, and Craig realizes he can't coast on last year's domination anymore.

Everyone wants to do convenient things. We want it so bad that we even created stores called convenience stores! Yet, having things readily available isn't always a good thing. Today, Pastor Ken says our culture has twisted the word of God to only believe in things that are convenient for them. If it's hard, take it out. If it seems undoable, don't do it. Our culture is always looking out for itself above all. You must be different! Stand for the Gospel and watch as you make an impact on those around you!

Shiur given by Rabbi Bezalel Rudinsky on Dvar Halacha Birchas Hapairos. Shiur recorded in Yeshivas Ohr Reuven, Monsey, NY.

God has been planting us in good soil so we may grow and learn all that He needs to teach us for the harvest that is coming. This harvest is producing good fruit that includes divine wisdom, revelation, healing, authority, provision, and so much more. These blessings will flow from Heaven to empower the Body of Christ. The world needs what this harvest will bring in. It will provide much more than we expect or need because our God wants to bless us abundantly. The Fruit of Heaven is going to pour out over us, and it will be a beautiful sight to behold. Amen!

When I was younger, I remember doing something bad that I thought my parents didn't know I did. They would never confront me about it because they wanted to teach me a lesson on coming clean on my own terms. Today, Pastor Ken says God doesn't have space for unconfessed sin. In fact, He won't even tolerate it. To be forgiven by God, you must come clean and confess all your sin, not just some of it. He loves you and desires a relationship with you that's built on the truths of the Gospel!

Matthew 6:1-4 NIV  1 “Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven. 2 So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 3 But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4 so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.”Matthew 6:5-8 NIV  5 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. 8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.”Matthew 6:16-18 NIV  16 “When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do, for they disfigure their faces to show others they are fasting. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 17 But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, 18 so that it will not be obvious to others that you are fasting, but only to your Father, who is unseen; and your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.”1. Fasting brings clarity to our COMMUNICATION.Matthew 6:16-18 NASB16 “Whenever you fast, do not put on a gloomy face as the hypocrites do, for they neglect their appearance so that they will be noticed by men when they are fasting. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full. 17 But you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face 18 so that your fasting will not be noticed by men, but by your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you.”Fasting - Going without food.BIBLICAL FASTING - refraining from food for a spiritual purpose.

What does true gentleness look like — not as weakness, but as strength under control? In this week's Cultivate series message, Pastor Tim Ghali, Interim Teaching & Discipleship Pastor, unpacks the story of Jesus and the Samaritan Woman (John 4:1–26) to show how God's Spirit cultivates gentleness in us — especially in a world that rewards power, pride, and harshness. Jesus' gentle engagement with the woman at the well shows us how gentleness restores dignity, opens doors to transformation, and reflects the heart of God to those around us. Key Themes: Gentleness as a fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22–23) How Jesus models strength through compassion Restoring others through Spirit-led humility Living gently in a harsh and hurried world

When I was younger, my cousins and I had a secret code in which we would talk to each other so other people couldn't understand us. This was our way of telling secrets to each other and communicating without drawing attention to ourselves. Today, Pastor Ken says God talks to you just as you need to be spoken to. Much like my cousins and I, God knows how He needs to communicate with you so you can understand Him. You don't have to communicate with God the same way as those around you!

Teaching from James 3:13-18, by Dr Zach Kilpatrick.

What if the freedom we've been chasing our whole lives isn't really freedom at all? Clair takes us on a journey through the entire biblical narrative and Galatians 5 to discover what true freedom actually means. We trace freedom from its origins in Eden's garden, where God's first command was 'You are free to eat from any tree,' through the Exodus, the prophets, and ultimately to Jesus Christ who fulfills the entire story. The message challenges our culture's obsession with personal autonomy and reveals that genuine freedom isn't found in the absence of boundaries, but within them. Like children who thrive under authoritative parenting with both high warmth and high boundaries, we discover that safety creates the space where freedom flourishes. Paul's passionate letter to the Galatians warns against two dangerous ditches: legalism, where we try to earn God's love through performance, and license, where we use grace as a hall pass for selfishness. Instead, we're invited into something far more beautiful: freedom from the slavery of sin and fear, freedom for loving and serving others, and freedom to be filled by the Holy Spirit Himself. This isn't about rowing harder with our own strength; it's about raising our sails and letting God's wind move us forward. When we understand that we're freed from saving ourselves, we're finally free to become who we were created to be.

True freedom in Christ produces fruit that reflects His Spirit. Join us as we learn how to walk by the Spirit and let His character shape our lives from the inside out.

We know the presence of the Lord in our lives by the fruit of the Spirit that others find within us.  What happens, though, when that fruit rots on the vine?  How do we reset ourselves from the shadow sides of our gifts? Speaker: Pastor Jae Newman Part of the series “Roots of the Fruits”

I don't know about you, but I find I can easily make commitments. I can decide I really want to do something and set my mind to do it. But if I don't have a plan as to how it gets done, it just remains good intentions that usually don't become reality. So, what I'm hoping is that you will not only be inspired to reflect Christ more on your job, but you'll have some specific actions that will make a difference in your life and in your workplace. So, here's my fourth suggestion (view part one for the first three suggestions) as to how we can more perfectly reflect Christ on our jobs: Be Transparent and Vulnerable Jesus gave us clear instructions as to how we are to live as Christ-followers in our worlds. In Matthew 5:14-16 we read from his sermon on the mount: You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven. In other words, we're not called to be undercover Christians. Even in our post-Christian culture, Jesus' challenge does not change. We are not to hide our lamp—our witness—as Christ-followers, and that includes on our jobs. The challenge we face is how to do that naturally, organically, and not in an unnecessarily offensive way. Someone has said that too often we Christians are more interested in giving out the right news instead of the good news. We believe we're right, based on God's Word, and we never compromise those beliefs. But we do it through being real, not with a know-it-all attitude or arrogance of any kind. You and I must be approachable, real, and transparent in the way we live if we ever hope to have influence in our world today. If you project a plastic image to those around you, an image of “I've got this all figured out, and my life is always together,” then who can ever relate to you? Let me ask you: Do you fake happiness even when you are sad about something? Do you share personal struggles and concerns with coworkers appropriately? Can you and do you naturally talk about how God has helped you through hard times, how he has answered your prayers? Are you willing to be vulnerable, admit your mistakes, or talk about your struggles? Or are you trying not to show a trace of doubt or misgivings or let anyone see the pain in your life? If so, you are putting up a barrier between you and others, and they just don't know how to relate to someone who seems to always be in control! Living a transparent and authentic life means being yourself, without any pretensions. There was a woman who worked for me many years ago who was just always perfect. She was vocal about her faith, but she was also vocal about how perfectly she did her job. She subtly would let everyone else know they should be like her and do their work like she did. Now, she was an excellent worker, but she made everyone else in the department uncomfortable by her perfectionist demeanor. I often wondered what she was like at home with her husband. And I noticed that she really had no connections in our office; she worked in an isolated atmosphere. That's never going to be an effective way to reflect Christ. So, one powerful way you and I can reflect Christ—be like Jesus—in our workplaces is to be transparent, inviting, and willing to share our lives, the good and the bad, with others. Reflect Christ by Developing the Fruit of the Spirit I come to the fifth suggestion for reflecting Christ on your job, and it is to consistently display the fruit of God's Spirit in your life. Honestly, this is an impossible assignment until and unless you become intentional about bearing much fruit. In John 15:8 Jesus said, This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.

What is the difference between kindness and gentleness? Was Jesus a good example of being kind? Join Haston today as we continue through the Fruit of the Spirit, and discuss kindness.
