We’re so glad you’ve chosen to join us in worship today. Over the next hour, we will sing a few songs, join together in prayer, and hear a message that speaks to how truth and faith intersect with our lives today. In a world that pulls us in so many directions, this time of worship helps us remember what is most important as we turn our hearts and minds toward God.

We’d love to know you’re here today, so take a moment to fill out the Connection Card found in this worship guide, which includes a place where you can let us know about prayer concerns and/or questions you might have. Place the Connection Card into the offering plate/basket or into a BLUE BOX, found at each exit. Thanks again for gathering with us today at Crossings!

FaithfulnessFruitology series, part seven / Galatians 5:22-25PASTOR DEIDRE FRANKLIN

But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things! – Galatians 5:22-23

EXPERIMENTPut this card somewhere you will see it each day.

STOP & ThinkThink of someone who has modeled the steadfast faithfulness of God toward you (stuck by you in good times & bad; has been patient & kind toward you, even when you weren’t so lovable). Send a note or email telling how much his/her faithfulness has meant to you.

Read Hebrews 11Choose one person from this chapter—often referred to as the “Hall of Faith”—and read his story in the Old Testament. Reflect on the faithfulness that led to him being included in Hebrews 11.

THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT IS FAITHFULNESS.For the Lord is good; His steadfast love endures forever, and His faithfulness to all generations. - PSALM 100:5

One who is faithful in a very little is also faithful in much... - LUKE 16:10
