Why is it important for us to...

Part one of what became a three part message to the churches. Life is made up of a series of choices. When it comes to our Christian faith we "choose" to follow Jesus Christ.

Our minds are powerful. They are capable of remarkable feats. We can transplant organs-we can land people on the moon and we are capable of so much good. But when happens when our mind is under attack and our thoughts become destructive rather than constructive?

The Bible tells us that we as believers in Christ have the fruit of the Spirit. Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness, and self-control.
