God chose to have Jesus in the tomb during the Sabbath, where He rested. The disciples also rested, giving them time to process the events that had just happened, and to experience the miracle of the Resurrection on Sunday morning.

God shows His faithfulness to us with water. He created order out of chaos at the beginning of creation. He saved Noah and his family by providing an ark to float above the waters.

We have strayed from God and have been unfaithful. We have put ourselves first, made idols out of things in our lives. But God remains faithful to us.

Introduction to our new sermon series on the fruit of the Spirit. Each month we will focus on one of the fruits, starting with Love. As we delve into these fruits it is important for us to remember that we do not produce them with our own efforts. As we abide in God, His Spirit will bring forth these fruits in us.
