Peace

Every human heart desires to experience peace. Jesus said in John 14:27, “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you.” Peace is one of the nine fruits of the Spirit listed in Galatians 5:22-23. To have peace is to have confidence and rest in the wisdom and sovereignty of God more than your own. The peace that Jesus brings to our lives is a calmness in our hearts that comes from the understanding that our life is truly in the hands of a loving God. When we know the Peacemaker, we can be confident that He will produce the fruit of peace in us. --- The Bible tells us that the Holy Spirit produces types of fruit in the Christian life that reflect God’s character. The fruit of the Spirit that is manifest in the Christian life includes love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. In this sermon series, we will learn how this fruit is produced and what it looks like to reflect the fruit of the Spirit in our daily lives.
