The apostle Paul writes in Galatians 5:22–23: “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.

Last week, Jordan kicked off our new series, Rise Up: Fresh, Free and Fruity! For the next few weeks, we’re diving into the Fruit of the Spirit in Galatians 5.

When Jesus preached the Sermon on the Mount, He turned the values of the world upside down. In a culture that often prizes power, success, and self-protection, Jesus called His followers to something radically different. In Matthew 5:7, He declares: "Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy." Mercy is not just a […]
There’s a deep stirring in the hearts of believers today — a desire to live out a faith that’s authentic, countercultural, and grounded in truth. In a world where justice is often synonymous with cancel culture, courtroom verdicts, or political protests, what does it really mean to seek justice the Jesus way? Let’s go back to […]
For the next six weeks, we’re exploring what it means to Rise Up the Jesus Way. This journey isn't about striving to become a better version of ourselves by worldly standards. It’s about embracing the radical, upside-down Kingdom that Jesus introduces in the Sermon on the Mount. At the heart of this manifesto—these Kingdom values—are the […]
