Forward to Maturity Sermon Series – Fall 2026
The goal of the Christian life is not reaching a lowest common denominator of faith but rather “attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ” (Epe 4:13). The fruit of the Spirit describes the character of Christ, the goal toward which we are heading, and the people we are becoming. They are not a religious to-do list but something God works in us as we repent and believe the good news about Jesus.
