The fruit of a life in Christ isn't just personal — it's communal. This closing message zooms out from individual growth to ask: what does it look like when a whole church grows good fruit together? Drawing from the picture of the early church in Acts 2 and the call of Hebrews 10, this sermon celebrates what Cumberland County Community Church is and calls the congregation into what it can be — a garden, not just a collection of individual plants#church #sermon #Jesus #Christian

Welcome back to our Fruit of the Spirit series!
The Prodigal Son is one of the greatest pictures of God's love in all of Scripture. This message brings the series to its emotional and theological heart: we can only love others because God first loved us. His love is the root of all the fruit.#church #prodigalson #sermon
The Parable of the Sower raises a challenging question: what kind of soil are you? This message explores what it means to walk by faith — trusting God's Word to take root and produce a harvest even when circumstances are uncertain.#church #sower #jesus #sermonhttps://linktr.ee/ccccmillville
How do we know if we are following Biblical wisdom? In chapter 3 of his epistle, James sets the standard with eight qualities of godly wisdom: First, godly wisdom is pure. False wisdom is characterized by bitter envy and selfish ambition; godly wisdom is characterized by purity of motive. Second, it is peace-loving. Selfish ambition can start a war, but God's wisdom can bring Truth and clarity where there is chaos. Third, it is considerate. Though you have strength and power, you control yourself so that when you have the opportunity to hurt somebody, you won't do it. Fourth, it is submissive. Being submissive means being willing to listen and willing to learn. To be submissive is to be humble and teachable, not a doormat to be walked over but meek, so that your strength is guided and submitted to God, making you gentle and kind. Fifth, it is full of mercy. The word used here actually has a double meaning: forgiving those who wrong us and then being willing in our hearts to help them. Sixth, it is full of good fruit. You cannot manufacture the fruit of the Spirit. True spiritual maturity happens from the inside out for those who are indwelt by the Spirit of God and are seeking His wisdom moment by moment. Seventh, it is impartial. Those who live by worldly wisdom cannot be impartial because they are always trying to please someone, but those who live by God's wisdom are consistent, single-minded, and authentic. Eighth, it's sincere. A sincere person is genuine, without hypocrisy, and wears no mask. Godly wisdom is the kind of wisdom that comes from the very heart of God. As you read and pray through God's Word continually, you will find that your life is producing purity, peace, gentleness, willingness, mercy, good fruit, impartiality, and sincerity—and that's how you'll know the Word of God is taking root. Join me in prayer. Precious Lord, thank You for answering my prayers for wisdom by giving it to me generously. As I spend time studying Your Word and listening to Your voice, I know these things will begin to take root in me. Help me to prioritize that time with You. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. The voice you hear on the MY Devotional podcast is digitally generated with Dr. Youssef's permission. If today's devotional stirred a question, burden, or need for prayer, you don't have to walk through it alone.

Friendship is such a sweet gift from the Lord *and* perhaps one of the key way he prunes us. In this episode, I'm sharing what a recent girls' trip to Prince Edward County reminded me about why lifelong loving of people is not optional (though definitely nuanced!) and why good fruit takes time to grow. It's been a while since I've done a lifestyle review but I've been feeling drawn to it again and hope you also enjoy some 'best of' recommendations as well as stories around those precious moments where we feel safe enough to open up and allow people into our God-given dreams for the season. If you prefer to read this episode as a newsletter, find it on Substack.
The first message in the series explores what it means to draw our strength from Jesus rather than ourselves. True spiritual strength isn't self-generated — it flows from staying connected to the source. #church #sermon #jesus #thevine #communitychurch

Good Fruit in Your Relationships (Galatians 5:16-25) Jack Napier
Pastor Micah Klutinoty preaches from 1 John 3:4-24 that true children of God bear good fruit as they actively abide in Christ. As we remain in Him, He produces confidence in our standing with God, grateful worship, growing purity, a pattern of righteousness instead of sin, genuine love for others, and clear evidence of the Holy Spirit's work in our lives.

What is success in God's eyes? Do you want a fruitful life? What does it mean to abide in the Lord and for Him to abide in us? In today's episode, Mike responds to listener mail and talks through the scripture on abiding -- what the Lord says and the results of abiding in Him. “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me." -- John chapter 15

Send a textVery seldom do we introduce a topic and chew on it for the entirety of our podcast. But today's conversation seemed to grow two new legs every time we gnawed and digested one. Tucked around the mysterious attraction church gossipers know all too well, we described an incident where David remembered all the details (including the name of the person who smugly scolded us) and Dr Dave agonized over whether his reaction was pleasing to Jesus or not. And now, with this recording, we may have entered a similar question of faithfulness into our moral ledger.

When a tree is planted in healthy soil next to a reliable source of water, abundant fruit is inevitable. As we put down deep roots in the Word of God, fruit will not just be a possibility in some seasons, but an inevitable reality in all seasons. Psalm 1; Matthew 7 Speaker: Kyle Idleman

In light of a series of miracles in our readings for today, Fr. Mike focuses on our Lord's compassion and our call to be merciful, as he is. He emphasizes the beauty of God's mercy and his offering of it despite our unworthiness. He also strikes a balance between the goodness of humanity as God's creation and our brokenness due to original sin. Today's readings are Luke 6-8 and Proverbs 26:1-3.
