🍇 FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT SERIES 🍇

Day 2: Love- 1 Corinthians 13 (ESV)

We use the word “love” to describe everything, from our favorite food, to our favorite hobby, to talking about our pets, friends, and family. Love is also the first of the attributes listed in Galatians 5 as the fruit of the Spirit. So what is it?

1 Corinthians 13 is titled, The Way of Love. Paul spends 13 verses expounding upon what love is. In verses 1-3, Paul lists off all these amazing feats, understanding all knowledge, having enough faith to move mountains, and giving up everything he owns, even his own life, but if he does not have love, then it is all in vain. He gains nothing and is no better than a noisy gong.

In verses 4-7, Paul writes that love is patient and kind. It is not envious or boastful. It does not insist on its own way or rejoice at wrongdoing. Love rejoices in truth and endures all things. This is a kind of love that is hard for us to understand because this is not a love that comes naturally to us. This is God’s love. As we dwell in God’s presence, meditate on his word, and grow, the Holy Spirit will continue to mold and shape us. Through the gift of the Holy Spirit we can experience and show God’s love. Praise the Lord!

Paul concludes in verse 12-13, “For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known. So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.”

1 Corinthians 13:4-7 (ESV)

4 Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant
5 or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;
6 it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.
7 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Today we begin a new devotion series focused on the Fruit of the Spirit found in Galatians 5.

🍇 FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT SERIES 🍇

Day 1: The Fruit of the Spirit- Galatians 5:22-24

We find the well known passage about the fruit of the Spirit in the New Testament book of Galatians. This is a letter that the apostle Paul wrote to the churches of Galatia, and in chapter five, we find the passage we will spend this next series focused on.

Before Jesus ascended into Heaven, he promised his disciples that the Holy Spirit would come upon them, and even today, the Holy Spirit dwells in the hearts of Christians. The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity, which means that God himself dwells in us and with us, leading us, guiding us, and shaping us so our lives look more like Christ! Praise the Lord! In Galatians 5:16, Paul writes, “But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.”

What does walking by the Spirit look like? How does the Holy Spirit help us look more like Christ?

Galatians 5:22-24 (ESV)

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. 24 And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

📖Psalm Series📖

22 stanzas and 176 verses later, we have reached the end of the Psalm 119 Series. I hope that you have grown to cherish this passage as we learned how to delight in the Lord.

Continue to reread Psalm 119, meditating on the law of the Lord just as the psalmist modeled. Remind yourself of the faithfulness of the Lord, of his promises, and of his righteousness testimonies. Love him so deeply that your soul keeps his testimonies and praises him! When we seek Him, not just in good and easy times, but in the hard times and in the middle of trials, we learn to lean on and rely on him deeper. We learn that he is our sustainer.

Thank you, God, that you are there to hear our prayers.

If you do not know God as your Savior, sustainer, and shepherd, the invitation is open. There is One who knew no sin but still suffered on our behalf, paying the death penalty our sin deserves. He rose again three days later victorious! Defeating sin and death! He is our savior, Jesus Christ. He is the Good Shepherd who leaves the 99 to find the 1. Let him be the King of your heart and the Lord of your life.

Stay tuned for the next devotional series on the Fruit of the Spirit!

Summer staff training week is coming to a close, and we couldn’t be more thankful for this group. ❤️

This week has been filled with training, cleaning, preparing, learning, serving, laughing, and building friendships that will carry us through the summer. These photos capture a few of the fun moments along the way!

In just a few days, campers will begin arriving, and this team has worked hard to make sure everything is ready for an incredible summer.

Would you join us in praying for our staffers? Pray for strength, unity, wisdom, safety, and most importantly, that God would use them in a powerful way as they serve campers this summer.

We can’t wait to see what God has in store for Summer #101! ☀️

📖Day 22: Psalm Series 📖

This stanza is a beautiful conclusion of the truths that the psalmist has declared time and again throughout this chapter. In the first two verses, the psalmist writes, “Let my cry come before you… let my plea come before you.”

He asks for understanding and deliverance according to God’s word. In the next two verses, the psalmist writes that his lips will pour forth praise and his tongue will sing of God’s word. The psalmist continues to model for us the Christian response as we go through this life.

He prays for God’s hand to be ready to help him, to seek him out as he is a lost sheep. In Luke 15:4-7, Jesus tells the parable of the lost sheep where the Good Shepherd leaves the 99 to seek out his one lost sheep. And when he finds that lost lamb, he calls all his friends to rejoice. Jesus says, “Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.”

Psalm 119:169-176 (ESV)
169 Let my cry come before you, O Lord;
give me understanding according to your word!
170 Let my plea come before you;
deliver me according to your word.
171 My lips will pour forth praise,
for you teach me your statutes.
172 My tongue will sing of your word,
for all your commandments are right.
173 Let your hand be ready to help me,
for I have chosen your precepts.
174 I long for your salvation, O Lord,
and your law is my delight.
175 Let my soul live and praise you,
and let your rules help me.
176 I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek your servant,
for I do not forget your commandments.
