Selfless Love | Shawn Williams Message

In this series about the 9 fruits of the spirit in the Bible, we will be exploring what it means to live like Jesus, with the Holy Spirit as our guide. We’ve been given 9 traits of Jesus that, when applied to our lives through the Holy Spirit, can help us live more like Him. Why? Because that’s what we’re called to do. The 9 “fruits of the spirit” reflect all the qualities we need to be more like Jesus in this world. We start with the fruit of the spirit ‘love’, and Pastor Shawn kicks us off with a teaching about God’s love and how we can reflect that onto others. -------------------------------- Our Mission: Love God.
