Full Sermon // September 13, 2026
This week is the third for our series centered around the Fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:16-25). This week we looked at what Scripture says on peace. Our Executive Pastor Diane Solberg preached on the topic finishing with a testimony of peace that you won’t want to miss hearing.
Notes from Sunday’s Sermon:
The fruit of the Spirit are ALL outcomes of a life lived by the power of the Spirit.
If the fruit isn’t growing, check your source.
Based on the whole story of Scripture, what does it look like for (FRUIT) to flow out of me through the power of the Holy Spirit?
Based on the whole story of Scripture, what does it look like for PEACE to flow out of me through the power of the Holy Spirit?
What is this peace, really? And how is it different from what the world calls peace?
Where does peace come from?
How do we walk in it?
Peace was never about the going still. It’s about keeping our eyes on the One who’s already walking toward us through them.
First: Peace with God comes before the peace of God.
Second: lasting peace is a result of sanctification.
A divided heart cannot hold peace.
Peace that’s planted deep doesn’t disappear the moment life gets hard. It holds.
Peace that stays private isn’t the fruit Paul is describing. Fruit is grown to be given away.
It just overflowed, because that’s what the fruit of the Spirit does when it’s real.
Peace was never meant to be the absence of hard days.
It’s the inner assurance that because God is sovereign, whatever happens - it is well with my soul.
The peace of God is not reserved for people whose lives are calm. It is promised to people who belong to Christ and who keep yielding to His Spirit - especially in the storm.
