Pastor Chris Padiath - May 24, 2026
Faithfulness
In Week 4 of our Real Fruit series, Pastor Chris Padiath teaches from Colossians 1:3-14 and explores faithfulness as part of the fruit of the Spirit. Through the lives of Epaphras, Tychicus, and Onesimus, we see that faithfulness is not just a belief we hold, but a life we live. This message calls us to finish what we have started, remain available for the work of God, and pursue reconciliation when things need to be made right. As followers of Jesus, we are invited to become people who are steady, trustworthy, and faithful in the places God has called us.

From Series: "Real Fruit"
Most of us are familiar with love, joy, and peace—and many of us are actively working on self-control—but the Spirit desires to form all of His fruit within us. This series is not about behavior modification or trying harder in our own strength, but about learning to live life in the Spirit rather than the impulses of the flesh. As we abide in Christ, the Spirit produces fruit that reflects Jesus to a watching world. My prayer is that you will be challenged, shaped and transformed as we pursue a life that bears lasting, Spirit-formed fruit.
