Love

The sermon series uses some of Forrest’s most famous quotes in our exploration of the fruit of the Spirit listed in Galatians 5:22-23: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. The Galatians passage is used weekly, along with another scripture passage in which the “fruit of the day” is evident. May our faith be more “fruit-full” as we run the race set before us with perseverance and endurance, keeping our eyes on Jesus, and encourage others to run alongside us. Run, First UMC, Run! 

This sermon examines the fruit of love using Hebrews 12 where verse 1 says “Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us.”
