Fruits of the Spirit, Part 1

In this message, we explore what it means to bear the fruit of the Spirit and remain connected to Jesus, the true vine. From Galatians 5 and John 15, discover how the Holy Spirit shapes our character, leads us away from the works of the flesh, and produces lasting fruit in every believer.

Is the "Apocalypse" a terrifying end-of-the-world event, or something much more intimate? In Part 3 of our series, You Need an Apocalypse, we move beyond Hollywood depictions of destruction to embrace the true meaning of the Greek word apokaluptō—to unveil, lay open, and make known what has been hidden.

Join us as we explore Ephesians 1:16-23, where Paul prays for the "eyes of our understanding" to be enlightened to the incredible power of God toward us. Discover how a divine revelation (an apocalypse) is designed to bring an end to your old way of living, exposing the reality of who you are in Christ.

In this episode, we focus on what it means to be the Church—the body of Christ—filled with the fullness of Him who fills all in all.

Key Takeaways:

Defining Apocalypse: Moving from destruction to divine disclosure.

The Power in Us: Understanding the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead is active in believers.

We Are His Body: Exploring the church as the new humanity and the fullness of Jesus on earth.

The Unveiling: Allowing God to pull back the curtain on your life and purpose.

"Often – a divine revelation will bring an end to your current world and way of living. It Is Finished."

When you hear the word "apocalypse," do you think of Hollywood disasters, zombies, or the total destruction of the world? It’s time to change the narrative. In Part 2 of You Need an Apocalypse, we explore Revelation 1:10-13 to discover that the true biblical meaning of apocalypse (apokaluptō) isn't about destroying the world—it’s about pulling back the curtain to expose what is really going on.

In this episode, we dive into John’s vision of the7 gold lampstands and the crucial, comforting reality that the Son of Man is standing right in the middle of them. Learn how a true Divine Revelation often ends your old way of living, and why the first thing you need to notice is not the chaos, but Christ in the center.

Key Topics:

Redefining Apocalypse: Shifting from destruction to unveiling (uncovering what was veiled).

The Vision in Revelation 1: Jesus standing in the middle of the seven lampstands.

He's in the Middle: Finding Jesus in the center of the church and in the middle of our personal chaos.

The Divine Revelation: Allowing God to reveal what is hidden, leading to personal and spiritual transformation.

Scripture Reference: Revelation 1:10-13 (NLT) & Luke 10:21 (NLT)

You Need an Apocalypse is a bold message from Matthew 16:13-18 that redefines apocalypse as divine revelation — the moment God pulls back the curtain and reveals Jesus clearly. Set in the dark spiritual backdrop of Caesarea Philippi, this episode declares that Christ is building His church, and the gates of hell will not prevail against it.

Pastor Joel preaches on Jesus' final words on the cross, a series of profound messages leading up to his final culminating exclamation: "It is Finished" (John 19:30).
