This week we finally crest the peak of our reading of Spurgeon's sermons, crossing the halfway line in our reading through the Passmore & Alabaster collection of his preaching. This address, on love as the first fruit of the Spirit, is a fitting marker for the occasion. The sermon bears many of Spurgeon's hallmarks: richly doctrinal and practical and experimental; full of a lively sense of the Holy Spirit; rising to a Christ-centred crescendo; pleading for the holiness of God's people and the salvation of the lost; a thorough sense of the text in its context; an inventive and engaging outline; a delight in the grace of our heavenly Father; a lively hope of heaven; a plain call to penetrating self-examination. In one sense there is nothing remarkable about the sermon. In another sense, the fact that this is a further sermon showing a consistent richness of substance and a sustained intensity of spirituality makes it notable not because it stands out but because it is more of the same, and it warms our hearts.

Fruit of the Spirit: Gal 5.16-24 | Naomi Jones | 13/11/2025
Our words serve as spiritual health monitors, revealing the true condition of our hearts. Jesus teaches that just as a tree is known by its fruit, our inner spiritual condition is revealed through our outward words and actions. The Pharisees focused on external appearances while neglecting internal transformation, living an outside-in faith rather than inside-out. Genuine character isn't about trying harder but training wisely and becoming a Yes, Lord person who surrenders completely to God. Our words don't just slip out - they overflow from what's stored in our hearts, and we'll be held accountable for every careless word we speak.
A Dallas, Texas intersection turned into my holy ground! It was the Light cutting through fog, life breaking into death. In this episode, I share how a near-collision at Midway & Alpha became the moment God moved me from religion to relationship—and how your testimony can do the same in someone else's life. This Godcast moves from story to Scripture to Savior, showing testimony isn't self-spotlight, but God speaking through redeemed lives. Grace doesn't quiet us... it sends us. Not with tales of our Egypt, but with Exodus steps. Not eloquence, but “Jesus Christ, and Him crucified.” Not culture's noise and confusion... but with the living Word, sharp and tender. Now, GO! Testify where He placed your feet on dry ground; not the bondage you left behind, but the freedom He gave you to live in. Then invite someone to that same Deliverer. Today! God's Word: Key passages: John 9; Acts 9; 1 John 5:9–11; Revelation 12:11; plus, Genesis 1, Exodus 25, Psalm 118, Ezekiel 37, Ephesians 2 & 6, Hebrews 4 & 13, and more. You will be able to glean the rest of them from the transcript, amen?Email: walkingtheway3@gmail.com
Sermon by Rev. Sam McGlothlinFor our current sermon series - Fruit of the SpiritScripture Reading: Matthew 4:1-11
Speaker: Robert ConnClosing out Fresh Picked by looking at “The Harvest, a reminder that the Fruit of the Spirit isn't something we manufacture, but something that grows in us when we stay connected to Jesus. Each fruit has a “climate” where it grows best, and Satan offers us counterfeit versions. The goal isn't just to taste fruit from others, but to bear it ourselves. Our task is to guard what God is growing, prune what's in the way, and share the fruit He produces. From fruit tasting to fruit bearing, that's the harvest Jesus invites us into. Need Prayer?
In this honest and weighty message kicking off the Sermon on the Mount, Pastor Karl walks through the Beatitudes—the nine “blessed are” statements that reveal the heart attitudes Jesus demands of every true disciple. From spiritual poverty and mourning over sin to meekness, insatiable hunger for righteousness, mercy, purity of heart, peacemaking, and even rejoicing in persecution, these aren't optional extras; they're the non-negotiable “be-attitudes” that must mark every citizen of God's kingdom.When these attitudes shape us, we naturally become the salt of the earth and the light of the world—distinct from culture, preserving what is decaying, and shining so brightly that others see our good works and glorify our Father in heaven. A convicting reminder that following Jesus was never meant to look like the world around us.Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 9:00am & 10:30am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

Rev. Rodney Henderson Exodus 34:1-9
Send us a text Unity in the Spirit isn't a nostalgic slogan or a distant goal—it's Christianity in the present tense. In this episode, we explore Paul's call to “keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace” as a lived, right-now reality we guard rather than a trophy we earn. Drawing on Jesus' prayer in John 17 and the fruit of the Spirit in Galatians 5, we name practical ways unity becomes embodied in everyday church life: slowing our speech, blessing across differences, confessing quickly, sharing the Table, and praying “Come, Holy Spirit” in the space between us. If you're weary of division, this conversation invites you into a hopeful, present-moment apprenticeship with Jesus—where the Spirit stitches diverse people into one Body, today.

Almost all of us have parts of our lives we really want to see changed, but change is really hard. And it's very possible to mistake a morally restrained heart for a supernaturally changed heart. If you squeeze a rubber ball and then take your hand away, it snaps right back to where it was. You restrained the rubber ball temporarily, but you didn't really change it. Almost all of us have that rubber ball experience. We try to change parts of our lives, and we put a lot of willpower behind it. Then as soon as circumstances change, it snaps right back. 1 Corinthians 13 tells us that a supernaturally changed heart 1) is not the same as a busy life in service of others, 2) is not the same as a morally committed life, but 3) is meeting love as a power and as a person. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on April 11, 2010. Series: The Real Signs of the Spirit. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13:1-13. Today's podcast is brought to you by Gospel in Life, the site for all sermons, books, study guides and resources from Timothy Keller and Redeemer Presbyterian Church.

GOD MOVES FIRST! And no one, not one, will be able to deny it!Before breath, before belief, before obedience — His love initiates, His Spirit awakens, and His workmanship forms a disciple who doesn't just learn truth but lives it. In every season — wilderness, joy, trial, abundance — His movement produces our motion: worship translated into action, fruit becoming seed, testimony turning into disciple-making. This isn't self-powered striving but Spirit-led transformation — the Vine's life flowing through branches that bear divine eternal fruit. And when His disciples “GO,” they don't go alone; they ride the current of the same divine love that parted seas, causes deliverance, and walked out of that tomb. He moves first; and we move with Him together!God's Word:Genesis 1; Genesis 2:21; Exodus 14:21; Matthew 5:45; Romans 8:28; Genesis 50:20; John 1:12–13; John 6:28–29; Colossians 1:13; Psalm 139:13; 1 John 4:19; John 3:16; John 6:44; Romans 5:8; Luke 19:10; Genesis 1:3; Genesis 2:7; Matthew 4:4; Philippians 4:6–7; 1 Peter 1:6–7; Revelation 12:11; James 1:2–4; 2 Corinthians 12:9; 2 Corinthians 9:8; Galatians 6:1; James 1:5; Colossians 3:23–24; Acts 16:25–34; Acts 8:26–39; Matthew 14:29; 1 Peter 3:15; John 9:3; 2 Corinthians 3:3; John 1:14; Jeremiah 1:5; Psalm 139:13–14; 1 John 4:8; Galatians 5:22–23; John 15:1–8; Romans 8:29; Luke 9:23; Acts 1:8; 2 Corinthians 5:20; Matthew 28:19; Romans 12:21; Hebrews 4:12; John 8:11; Luke 17:14; Mark 10:52; John 4:16; Mark 5:19; Luke 7:50; Matthew 9:13; Matthew 28:7; John 15:4–5; Ephesians 2:10; Philippians 1:6; 1 Thessalonians 1:5; James 1:18; 1 Corinthians 15:23; Mark 16:15 Email: walkingtheway3@gmail.com
