Jeremiah 29:1-14

God gives the people of God the mandate to seek the shalom (peace and prosperity) of the city. He says if the city does well, His people will do well. Sadly, this mandate is easily drowned out by the shalom of the self. In Jeremiah 29, God shows how he moves his people toward the pursuit of shalom for all.

The fruit of the Spirit is another way of talking about the divine life.  Cultivating the spiritual fruit of the Kingdom is the path in which we best bear the image of God in the world.  Within the current culture of rage, vitriol and aggression, love through kindness is a preposterous yet undeniable call of following Jesus.  This sermon from Pastor AJ Sherrill is a biblical and practical teaching as to how best to cultivate a love that sends us into the world with the aroma of Christ.
