4. Patience: Just Don’t Quit

01hr 32m

Nick Brennt continues the series on the fruits of the Holy Spirit with a message of enduring patience. He articulates that impatience and frustration in our lives stems from our lack of faith in the goodness of God, and challenges us to have a new perspective of the Lord’s love for us. It’s of the upmost importance that the modern believer has confidence in the goodness of God so that they will have the patience to endure the hardships that we experience in a broken world. Nick leaves us with the desire to endure hardships that God gives us to make us more like Him, and to not quit in the face of suffering.

He then provokes us by giving testimonies from Amy Carmichael’s life as a missionary to India. He challenges the listener to look at their own lives and see where they can exhibit more Godly kindness and to take action.

6. The Heart of the Matter

01hr 34m

Zach Nash speaks on Godly kindness. He highlights the humility of God to pour out His kindness on us. He reads Matthew 11 and reminds us that Jesus came to take our burdens, not be our task master. He then reminds us that as Christians our lives should be filled with so much hope and kindness that it draws the lost.

7. Peace in the Age of Anxiety

01hr 19m

Chloe Mack speaks on the final fruit of the Spirit- peace. She highlights the current mental health epidemic within Gen Z and the extreme view surrounding it. She shares her own testimony of how Jesus healed her from anxiety and explains that sometimes it’s a process, instead of a quick moment.

8. Self-Mastery

01hr 29m

Nick Brennt finishes our series on the fruits of the Spirit with a teaching on self control. He explains how in Greek the words for self control directly translate to “self-mastery”. He emphasizes that the mastery over yourself is one of the most important fruits of the Holy Spirit that we receive because the other fruits flow out of self control. Nick challenges us to let go of striving for self control by ourselves, and to receive the love of Jesus and let Him be your master.
