Over the past few weeks, our Fresh, Free & Fruity series at Home Church has helped us explore what it means to live fruitful lives — lives that are in step with the Spirit. The Apostle Paul gives us the foundation in Galatians 5:22–25: “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness […]

When was the last time you saw faithfulness and gentleness celebrated in our world? In a culture that glorifies self-promotion, quick success, and loud opinions, these two fruit of the Spirit seem almost forgotten. Yet they are essential qualities of a Christlike life—countercultural, revolutionary, and deeply transformative. The Apostle Paul reminds us in Galatians 5:22–23 that “the fruit […]
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. Against such things there is no law.” The Christian life is not just about what we do but who we are becoming. When the Holy Spirit is at work in us, He produces […]
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. But here’s the thing — we don’t just want to describe the fruit of the Spirit, we want to live it. The question is: Am I demonstrating, am I modelling […]
The Christian life is not meant to be lived in striving, exhaustion, or constant lack. It is meant to be marked by freedom, abundance, and fruitfulness through the power of the Holy Spirit. All too often, we talk about the gifts of the Spirit—prophecy, tongues, healing, and miracles—while neglecting the fruit of the Spirit. Yet […]
What does it mean to rise up the Jesus way? In this final part of the series, we turn our attention to integrity. Integrity is a word often used but not always understood. The dictionary defines it as “the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles” and also “the state of being whole or […]
When Jesus sat on the mountainside to teach, He laid out a new way of living that still challenges us today. In the Beatitudes, He said: “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.”(Matthew 5:8) Purity is not a popular word in today’s culture. For many, it brings up images of rules, […]
When Jesus sat on the mountainside and taught the crowds, He spoke words that still cut through the noise of our world today. Among His famous Beatitudes, He declared: “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.”(Matthew 5:9) These are more than poetic lines. They are a call to action, a […]
Have you noticed how offended our world is these days? Say one thing, post one opinion, make one wrong move—boom, offence. It’s everywhere. And if we’re honest, it’s not just “out there.” Offence sneaks into our churches, families, friendships, and even our own hearts. It’s subtle but powerful—and if we’re not careful, it can block […]
Have you ever looked around at your life, your job, your church, or even your family and thought, “How did I end up here?”—but not in a good way? Maybe you’ve sat in a room, surrounded by people, and quietly wondered, “Sooner or later they’re going to realise I don’t belong here.” You hear a voice that whispers, “You’re not […]
