(A) Last week we looked at the first cluster of fruit that the Holy Spirit wants to produce in our lives — Love, Joy, and Peace. From these foundational fruits, we see the next cluster. (B) The second cluster of fruits produced by the Holy Spirit … Longsuffering, Kindness, and Goodness. Galatians 5:22 1. Longsuffering – […]

“The Fruit of the Spirit’’ Part I
The Apostle Paul, in Ephesians 5:18, wrote, “Do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit.” It is wonderful to be “born of the Holy Spirit” at our conversion. At this point, the Holy Spirit comes into our lives and the Bible says our bodies become the “temples […]
“Meet the Lord of Hosts”
Introduction: · Throughout the Scriptures, there are many names for God that reveal to us His character and how He longs to relate to us. Let me give you several examples before we get into our study for today. · He is Jehovah Roi – This name portrays Him as “The Lord is my Shepherd.” He is […]
“Behold — The Lamb of God!”
Recently I gave a sermon, in our church service, based on the use of the word – ‘BEHOLD!’ This word appears numerous times in the book of Revelation. As I mentioned in that service, the word ‘BEHOLD’ is a Greek imperative that means to see or look. It is a verb intended to ‘arouse attention’ […]
“Our God is Holy!”
Recently in a morning text meditation, I used Revelation 15:3-4 to convey the awesomeness of God. It reads like this – “Great and marvelous are Your works, Lord God, the Almighty; righteous and true are Your ways, King of the nations! Who will not fear You, Lord, and glorify Your name? For You alone are […]
“Wait!”
Are you ever or always in a hurry? Would you say your life is characterized by rushing? Perhaps you are like the guy who was always impatient. He knew that wasn’t a good trait so he prayed to the LORD and said, “LORD, I want more patience, and I want it right now!” Many people find it […]
“Consecrated To Christ”
I have an old Webster’s Dictionary and it defines the word ‘consecrate’ as follows: to set apart as sacred. Another word I like is the word ‘capitulate’ which Webster defines as “to surrender on conditions agreed upon”. Many years ago, we had a very intelligent lawyer attending our church. I had talked to him on […]
“Giving Our All to Christ”
Someone once said, “He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep, to gain what he cannot lose.” In Matthew 16:24-26, Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose […]
“Teach Us to Pray”
Richard Chenevix Trench (1807-1886) wrote the following prayer: “Lord, what a change within us one short hour Spent in thy presence will prevail to make! What heavy burdens from our bosoms take, What parched grounds refresh as with a shower! We kneel, and all around us seems to lower; We rise, and all, the distant […]
“Jesus – Our Only Source of Hope”
What do you do when you are faced with a desperate situation? Where do you turn for help? In the Gospel of Mark 5:21-42, we have two very desperate situations. 1. A leader in the synagogue, named Jairus came to Jesus because his little girl was dying. He was desperate. 2. A woman, who had […]
