The Fruit of the Spirit is Love……
Bearing the fruit of love in our lives requires us to first know the love of God.
Examine the character of God’s love and how we should apply it in our own lives as we read selected Psalms and Proverbs during April.

New Testament Fruit
New Testament Fruit
“Be on your guard against false religious teachers, who come to you dressed up as sheep but are really greedy wolves. You can tell them by their fruit. Do you pick a bunch of grapes from a thorn-bush or figs from a clump of thistles? Every good tree produces good fruit, but a bad tree produces bad fruit. A good tree is incapable of producing bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot produce good fruit. The tree that fails to produce good fruit is cut down and burnt. So you may know men by their fruit.”
Let us learn to keep our eyes open, to listen and know. The Spirit of God will always guide us into truth….people, may not.
The Word of God is our lifeline. Don’t let go!
Bearing Good Fruit
Where’s the Fruit?
Winter and spring are the times when natural fruit, such as oranges, grow and ripen. When they are ripe, they are perfectly fit for God’s plan for their use.
God’s plan for us is to grow and continually ripen to become perfectly fit for His purpose for our lives.
Join us as we continue studying Scriptures on fruit during February.
God’s Plan for Fruit
It’s all about fruit
This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples. John 15:8
The Bible has a lot to say about God’s plan for fruit.
Our 2022 Bible Reading is all about fruit.
Get started with the January plan and look forward to a year of increasing fruit in your life!
Making Decisions
My Decision: My Results
Every decision yields results or consequences, whether good or bad.
Learn more about what God has already decided when we make choices.
God always rewards righteousness and always rejects unrighteous (wrong) decisions.
End 2021 with an increased understanding of God’s view on our decisions.
Who me?
Responsibility Takes Work
Who does God say is responsible?
What does God say we are responsibile for?
Study this important topic during November through daily Bible study.
God’s Reasoning
What is God’s Reason?
God’s reasoning is often not the same as ours.
Understanding God’s reasoning helps us be at peace as we trust in Him.
The more we understand of God’s reasons, the easier our life becomes.
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. Isaiah 55:8
God’s Purpose
God Purpose Prevails
Everything God brings to pass points to His purpose.
Sometimes it’s defeating and destroying the works of darkness.
Sometimes it’s manifesting righteousness.
Join us during September as God reveals His purposes through the Word.
Press On…
Don’t Give Up!
Ever felt like God was silent?
Hearing from God and receiving answers to our prayers sometimes takes more time than we would like.
Be encouraged to stay tuned in to God. Stay in the Word.
7 “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
Matthew 7:7-8
Now I Understand, God. Thank you!
So that you may understand
Our loving Heavenly Father always desires to shed light on, to illuminate His Word so we will understand. He greatly desires that we come to know Him more, as much as He knows us.
There is no limit to the depth of our understanding of His Word.
The Word is alive, because Jesus is alive and Jesus is the Word.
Let it come to life for you everyday.
