This week will continue the series Rooted: Spiritual Fruit in a Divided World, focusing on joy. The key scripture passage is Philippians 4:4-9.
Jesus teaches that God is a generous Father who invites us to ask, seek, and knock with confidence. While the world often operates from fear and scarcity, God’s kingdom is marked by trust in His provision and goodness.
Jesus speaks directly to our anxieties and fears, reminding us that our Heavenly Father knows what we need. Rather than being consumed by worry, we are invited to trust God and seek His kingdom first. We’ll look at how wonder, gratitude, and trust can replace fear and striving.
In a world of likes, clicks and shares, Jesus warns against practicing faith for attention or applause. Instead, He invites us into a sincere and deeply personal relationship with God through generosity, prayer, and fasting. We will reflect on our motivation when it comes to spiritual habits and practices.
