The Spiritual Fruit of Love
10-23-2016
Tutti frutti flavor is multiple fruits wrapped into one to give a singular flavor. This is what the Fruit of the Spirit is. That is why the word “fruit” is singular and not plural. The Spirit of God is trying to produce this fruit in us. All of us as Christians should be producing all of these characteristics as a single unit in our lives. It is something that we are to be doing. It is something that is supposed to be a part of our life. It is the way by which we demonstrate Christ through our actions, our thinking, and our character. And in this message we will be talking about love.
Scripture References: Matthew 7:16-18, Galatians 5:22-23, Romans 5:5, Philippians 2:3, Matthew 22:37-39, Ephesians 5:2, Matthew 5:43-44, John 15:12-13, 1 Corinthians 13:4-7, Philippians 1:9, Ephesians 3:17-19

Would You Care To Make That A Christ Supreme?
10-23-2016
You can go to McDonald’s and get a regular sized order of fries. But, if you want, you can super-size your order. When you super-size you are just getting more of the same thing, more fries. And when you go to Taco Bell, you can buy a regular taco. But, if you want, you can get a taco supreme. A taco supreme has been upgraded qualitatively, having more ingredients, making it better. In the Christian life you have the same option. When you come to Christ you can make a qualitative change. Jesus is qualitatively different. He is the Supreme One. So the title of this message is, “Would You Care to Make that a Christ Supreme?”

Prized Possessions
10-16-2016
Two weeks ago we started a new series in the book of Colossians called “Diamond” because that is what God is doing in your life. God is making diamonds out of us as Christians. We all have prized possessions. A prized possession is something that is your pride and joy, your treasure, or your obsession. They come in many forms. Your prized possession may be some item that was passed down to you from a relative, your physical appearance, your job, or your pet. But every prized possession that we own or identify with is temporary. We will not always have it. So what do I have as a Christian that I cannot lose?

Tasty Spiritual Fruit

Tutti frutti is actually a taste. It is multiple fruit flavors combined to make one flavor. Our new sermon series will look at the very, very, tasty, tutti frutti taste of the Spirit of God as He works to produce the fruit of the spirit in our lives.

From God With Love
10-02-2016
Diamonds are formed at great depths in the Earth under great temperature and pressure. They are the hardest natural material known, and as such, they are not given to impurities. This causes them to be very valuable. Diamonds are also useful due to their durability. That is what we are to be to Christ: valuable and useful. We need to have spiritual depth who can go through the great pressures of life and allow those pressures to make us more valuable. We are not to be subject to the impurities of life. And we are to be people that are useful to Jesus Christ. That is what the book of Colossians is about.
Scripture References: Colossians 1:1-2, Romans 8:28-30
