In week three of our nine-week series "Drought: Experiencing the Fruit of the Spirit in Dry Seasons," Pastor David explores the concept of peace as one of the fruits of the Spirit found in Galatians 5:22-23. He explains that spiritual fruit, including peace, comes in seasons, much like physical fruit. The pastor emphasizes that peace can be cultivated through perspective, especially by embracing Jesus' promise in John 14:27: "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."Pastor David highlights the importance of faith in accepting God's peace, distinguishing between belief in God's existence and relying on Him for our existence. He argues that peace grows in proportion to our faith, which is directly correlated to the depth of our prayer life. He also addresses the need to confront problems rather than ignore them, stating that sometimes peace can only be found on the other side of dealing with difficult situations. He concludes by describing peace as the outgrowth of our partnership with God, exemplified in the serene imagery of Psalm 23, despite life's challenges.We invite you to connect with us: https://linktr.ee/faithmcrichmondtx
