Identity – Who Am I?In a world full of labels, God’s Word gives us the clearest answer to the question, Who am I? Genesis reminds us: we are God-created—not random, but intentionally made and lovingly crafted. We are God-like, created in His image to reflect His character and live in relationship with Him and others. And we are God-known—not just part of a plan, but central to His purpose. You are...

Self-control is the gatekeeper of a Spirit-filled life. Proverbs warns that a person without it is like a city without walls—vulnerable and exposed. But God doesn’t leave us defenseless. Titus reminds us that grace not only pardons our past, it empowers our present. Through grace, we learn to say no to destructive desires and yes to a life that reflects Christ. Self-control isn’t about willpower a... Read More

Romans 15 reminds us that following Christ isn’t passive—it’s a call to action. We’re called to steer those weaker in faith with grace and cheer for unity in the body. We’re called to reach boldly, preach with purpose, and share the hope of the gospel. And we’re called to kneel in prayer, partnering with others and appealing to God for His provision and power. The Christian life is more than belie... Read More

Gentleness isn’t weakness—it’s strength under control. Scripture describes it as a meek standing and a mild spirit, modeled perfectly by Jesus and Moses. Gentleness leans into soft speech and strong synergy with others, choosing patience over pride, and compassion over combat. As Paul tells Timothy, this fruit is key to restoring others and growing in spiritual maturity. Gentleness leads to soundn... Read More

Faithfulness. Unfailing consistent practice of loyalty regardless of extenuating circumstances. But there are always circumstances, right? Very legitimate things come up. Unexpected events, new opportunities, situations beyond your control. Does consistent loyalty even exist anymore? Has it ever? While man has a broken faithfulness at best, the good news is we serve a perfectly faithful Go... Read More

The story of David and Mephibosheth beautifully illustrates goodness and kindness in action. Mephibosheth, broken and in a low place, was sought out by David—who lifted him up, welcomed him, and gave him a place at the table. This is the heart of Spirit-filled kindness: seeking the overlooked, showing mercy, and extending grace. Just as David’s kindness reflected God’s love, we too are called to m... Read More

Patience isn’t easy—but it’s essential. James reminds us that God is slow to anger, giving space for growth, not just punishment. As believers, we’re called to mirror His patience, even when life feels frustrating. Trials are certain, but they aren’t wasted—they’re purposeful, shaping our faith. Like a farmer waits for the harvest, we wait on God, trusting that growth, though stubborn and slow, wi... Read More

In a world full of noise, stress, and inner battles, true peace can feel out of reach. But Scripture reminds us that peace isn’t found in our circumstances—it’s found in Christ. Though we wrestle with the war within—our sinful nature pulling one way, God’s Spirit calling another—there’s hope. But God… rich in mercy, offers new life, raises us up, and seats us beside Him. The path to peace isn’t av... Read More

True joy isn’t based on circumstances—it’s rooted in Christ. James reminds us that even in trials, we can have joy when we stand on God’s truth and His promises. But joy has enemies—discontent and sin can rob our hearts of peace. The good news? Joy grows when we live by the presence of the Spirit and for the person of our Savior. It’s not a surface feeling—it’s the deep, lasting fruit of a life su... Read More

Spiritual gifts are powerful—but without love, they’re empty. Paul reminds us in 1 Corinthians 13 that love gives meaning to our actions and depth to our witness. Love sacrifices, it defers, and it dies to self. It’s not about impressing with gifts, but expressing Christ through grace. Love is the fruit that makes the gifts fruitful. While gifts may fade, love remains—timeless, eternal, and essent... Read More
