Embracing the Fruit of the Spirit:

Cultivating Christlike Character

Introduction: Embark on a transformative journey through the fruit of the Spirit as we explore the qualities that reflect the character of Christ. Join us on this enriching exploration of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control, and discover how they can shape our lives and relationships.

Scripture Passage: Galatians 5:22-23 (NIV) Cross References: John 15:1-17, Colossians 3:12-17, 2 Peter 1:5-8

Commentary: In Galatians 5, Paul lists the fruit of the Spirit as evidence of a life surrendered to Christ. These qualities—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control—flow from a heart transformed by the Holy Spirit and reflect the character of Christ Himself.

In John 15, Jesus uses the analogy of the vine and branches to illustrate the importance of abiding in Him to bear fruit. He emphasizes the intimate connection between abiding in His love and producing fruit that glorifies the Father.

Colossians 3 calls believers to clothe themselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience, bearing with one another and forgiving as the Lord has forgiven us. These virtues are essential for maintaining unity in the body of Christ.

In 2 Peter 1, believers are encouraged to make every effort to add to their faith goodness, knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness, mutual affection, and love. These qualities ensure that we will be effective and productive in our knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Broader Context:

Love:

1 Corinthians 13:4-7 - The characteristics of love as described by Paul.

John 13:34-35 - Jesus commands his disciples to love one another as He has loved them.

1 John 4:7-12 - Believers are called to love one another because love comes from God.

Joy:

Psalm 16:11 - In God's presence is fullness of joy.

Nehemiah 8:10 - The joy of the Lord is our strength.

John 15:11 - Jesus desires His joy to be in us, and for our joy to be complete.

Peace:

Isaiah 26:3 - God promises perfect peace to those whose minds are steadfast.

Romans 5:1 - Through faith in Jesus, we have peace with God.

Philippians 4:6-7 - God's peace guards our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

Patience:

Ecclesiastes 7:8 - Patience is better than pride.

Romans 12:12 - Believers are called to be patient in affliction.

James 5:7-8 - Be patient and stand firm, for the Lord's coming is near.

Kindness:

Ephesians 4:32 - Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other.

Proverbs 19:22 - What is desired in a man is kindness.

Colossians 3:12 - As God's chosen people, clothe yourselves with kindness.

Goodness:

Psalm 23:6 - Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life.

Romans 12:21 - Overcome evil with good.

Titus 2:14 - Christ gave himself for us to redeem us and purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.

Faithfulness:

1 Corinthians 4:2 - Faithfulness is required of stewards.

2 Timothy 2:13 - God remains faithful even when we are faithless.

Revelation 2:10 - Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you life as your victor's crown.

Gentleness:

Proverbs 15:1 - A gentle answer turns away wrath.

Galatians 6:1 - Restore others gently when they are caught in sin.

1 Peter 3:15 - In your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect.

Self-Control:

Proverbs 25:28 - A man without self-control is like a city broken into and left without walls.

1 Corinthians 9:25 - Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever.

Titus 2:11-12 - For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age.

Questions:

Which fruit of the Spirit do you find most challenging to cultivate in your life, and why?

In what ways can you abide more deeply in Christ to bear fruit that reflects His character?

How do the fruit of the Spirit impact your relationships with God and others?

What practical steps can you take to nurture the fruit of the Spirit in your daily life?

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, we thank you for the gift of the Holy Spirit who produces fruit in our lives that reflects the character of Christ. Help us to cultivate these virtues daily, empowering us to love as you love, to bring joy wherever we go, and to walk in peace amidst life's storms. May our lives bear witness to your transformative power and bring glory to your name. Amen.

Nurie is going to have at least 15 children at her rate.

I know Nurie has slowed down a bit between Newman and Baby #3 but, only by potentially 207 days. If she’s due on July 16th (I just picked the midpoint of the month) and she gives birth on that day then Newman and Baby #3 will only be 20 months and 1 day apart, which doesn’t seem like that big of a gap. She’s going to have three under three for a few months.

Nehemiah- Newman: 402 days/ 13 months (13 months, 6 days)

Newman-Baby #3: 609 days/20 months ( 20 months, 1 day)

My math may be off by a day or so but, roughly that’s the age gap we’re looking at.

E PROPHET ZECHARIAH (ZAKHARIAH) THE SICKLE-SEER FROM AMONGST THE 12MINOR PROPHETS (520 BC)

The Prophet Zachariah the Sickle-Seer the eleventh of the twelve Minor Prophets. He was descended from the tribe of Levi, and seems to have been a priest (Nehemiah 12:4,16). He was called to prophetic service at a young age and became, in the wondrous expression of church hymnology, “a spectator of supra-worldly visions.”

The Book of the Prophet Zachariah contains inspired details about the coming of the Messiah (Zach 6:12); about the last days of the Savior’s earthly life, about the Entry of the Lord into Jerusalem on a young donkey (Zach 9:9); about the betrayal of the Lord for thirty pieces of silver and the purchase of the potter’s field with them (Zach 11:12-13); about the piercing of the Savior’s side (Zach 12:10); about the scattering of the apostles from the Garden of Gethsemane (Zach 13:7); about the eclipse of the sun at the time of the Crucifixion (Zach 14:6-7).

“Enlightened by dawnings all above,” the Prophet Zachariah, “saw the future as it were the present.” According to Tradition, this “most true God-proclaimer” lived to old age and was buried near Jerusalem, beside his illustrious contemporary and companion, the Prophet Haggai (December 16). The title “Sickle-Seer” given Zachariah comes from a vision in which he saw a sickle flying in the air, destroying thieves and perjurors (Zach 5:1-3).

The holy Prophet Zachariah died around 520 B.C. His tomb was discovered in 415 in a village near Eleutheropolis (Sozomen, Hist. Eccles. VI:32, IX:17). At the prophet’s feet was the body of a child dressed in royal accouterments. His holy relics were transferred to the church of Saint James the Brother of the Lord (October 23) in Constantinople.

1 PETER 4:1-11

1Therefore, since Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind, for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, 2 that he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God. 3 For we have spent enough of our past lifetime in doing the will of the Gentiles-when we walked in lewdness, lusts, drunkenness, revelries, drinking parties, and abominable idolatries. 4 In regard to these, they think it strange that you do not run with them in the same flood of dissipation, speaking evil of you. 5 They will give an account to Him who is ready to judge the living and the dead. 6For this reason the gospel was preached also to those who are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit. 7 But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers. 8 And above all things have fervent love for one another, for "love will cover a multitude of sins." 9 Be hospitable to one another without grumbling.10 As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. 11 If anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

MARK 12:28-37

28 Then one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, perceiving that He had answered them well, asked Him, "Which is the first commandment of all?" 29 Jesus answered him, "The first of all the commandments is: 'Hear, O Israel, the LORD our God, the LORD is one. 30 'And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.' This is the first commandment. 31 And the second, like it, is this: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these. 32 So the scribe said to Him, "Well said, Teacher. You have spoken the truth, for there is one God, and there is no other but He. 33 And to love Him with all the heart, with all the understanding, with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love one's neighbor as oneself, is more than all the whole burnt offerings and sacrifices. 34 Now when Jesus saw that he answered wisely, He said to him, "You are not far from the kingdom of God." But after that no one dared question Him. 35 Then Jesus answered and said, while He taught in the temple, "How is it that the scribes say that the Christ is the Son of David? 36 For David himself said by the Holy Spirit:'The LORD said to my Lord, Sit at My right hand, Till I make Your enemies Your footstool." ' 37 Therefore David himself calls Him 'Lord'; how is He then his Son? And the common people heard Him gladly.

How many books are in your Bible?

Somehow I ended up on the Wikipedia page for Biblical canon and now my head hurts so I'm throwing all of you into the rabbit hole with me.

All Christian denominations share the same twenty-seven books of the New Testament: Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts, Romans, 1 and 2 Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, 1 and 2 Thessolonians, 1 and 2 Timothy, Titus, Philemon, Hebrews, James, 1 and 2 Peter, 1 2 and 3 John, Jude, and Revelation. (The Orthodox Tewahedo Church has an additional eight books, but they are not considered part of the Bible itself, just the broader religious canon.)

However, the Old Testament is where it gets complicated.

The Tanakh contains twenty four books divided into three sections: The Torah, the Nevi'im, and the Ketuvim. The Torah contains Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. The Nevi'im contains Joshua, Judges, Samuel, Kings, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuh, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi. The Ketuvim contains Psalms, Proverbs, Job, Ruth, Lamentations, Ecclesiastes, Esther, Daniel, Ezra and Nehemiah, and Chronicles.

The Protestant Old Testament took the canon of the Tanakh, divided some books into two and added another book, making a total of 39 books: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, Joshua, Judges, Ruth, 1 and 2 Samuel, 1 and 2 Kings, 1 and 2 Chronicle, Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther, Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon (also called Song of Songs), Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekiel, Daniel, Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuh, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi. Combing the Old and New Testaments, Protestant Bibles have 66 books.

The Catholic Bible includes the same 39 books as the Protestant Bible, with an additional seven books called the Deuterocanon: Tobit, Judith, Baruch, Sirach, 1 and 2 Maccabees, and Wisdom. Additionally, the books Esther and Daniel in the Catholic Bible contain more text than their Protestant counterparts. In total, the Catholic Bible has 73 books, 46 of those being the Old Testament.

The Greek Orthodox Bible includes the 46 books of the Catholic Old Testament, with an additional three: Prayer of Manasseh, 1 Esdras, and 3 Maccabees. Also, while the Protestant and Catholic Bibles contain 150 Psalms, the Greek Orthodox has 151. In total, the Greek Orthodox Bible contains 76 books.

The Slavonic Orthodox and Georgian Orthodox Bibles contain the same books as the Greek Orthodox.

The Armenian Apostolic Bible contains 50 Old Testament books: The 49 books in the Greek Orthodox Bible, and one other: 2 Esdras. This Bible contains Psalm 151. The Armenian Apostolic Bible contains 77 total books.

The Syrian Orthodox Old Testament has 48 books: All the books of the Catholic Old Testament with the additions of Prayer of Manasseh and 3 Maccabees. This Bible contains Psalm 151. The Syrian Orthodox Bible contains 75 total books.

The Coptic Orthodox Bible has 47 Old Testament books: All the books of the Catholic Old Testament with Prayer of Manasseh added. This Bible contains Psalm 151. The Coptic Orthodox Bible contains 74 books.

The Orthodox Tewahedo Bible is the canon for both the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church and the Eritrean Orthodox Tewahedo Church. This Bible has the 39 Protestant Old Testament Books, and the additional books Jubilees, Enoch, Meqabyan, Ezra Sutuel, Tobith, and Judith. This Bible contains Psalm 151, and the books 2 Chronicles and Jeremiah are extended. The Orthodox Tewahedo Bible contains 73 books.

The Assyrian Church of the East has the 46 books of the Catholic Old Testament, plus two: Prayer of Manasseh and 3 Macabees. This Bible contains Psalm 151, and Baruch is extended. The Assyrian Church of the East Bible contains 75 books.

I hope this information serves you well if you ever end up on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire or something one day

[cwjehotara]

A lot of people are confused with timeline of Throne of glass. Indeed there are 8 books with each over 400 pages so that's not unexpected. So I put books and events chronologically to explain the whole series

Assassin's blade - timeline starts around one and a half year before Throne of Glass. In the first novella The assassin and the pirate lord timeline takes around 3 weeks ( Celaena and Sam go to Skulls Bay to see Captain Rolfe). Their journey to the islands takes around 1 week and they stayed there for a week untill they demolished the whole place. In the two other novellas The assassin and the healer and The assassin and the dessert timeline stretches for 2 months. Celaena stays in Innish for 2 days and meets Yrene and teaches her self defense. After that she goes to Red dessert to meet Silent Assassins. She stays there 1 month and it takes her 1 month to come back to Rifthold. In last two novellas The assassin and the underworld and The assassin and the empire timeline takes place around 1 month when she understood her feelings towards Sam and wanted to move away with him. That was in June because she heard ladies in taverns gossiping that Crown Prince is going to the beach with his friends for his birthday. It's important to notice that in between novellas are time gaps due to her travelling and so on.

Then it's a year break in between two books due Celaena going to Endovier

Throne of glass - the timeline takes place around September when Dorian and Chaol went to Endovier to get her be Dorian's champion in competition. It takes them 2 weeks to come back to Rifthold and then her training starts that last around 2 weeks. She recovers and the competition starts. It's said that the last competition will be held after Yullemas and that's 21st of December . So the book ends at the end of December

Again the break between two books around one to one and a half month due Celaena going to her missions.

Crown of midnight - book starts at the beginning of February. She and Chaol become even closer and soon it's his birthday. It's around middle of February ( 14th of February;) ) and they confess their love towards each other. It's said that they were together for a week until Nehemiah's death happens. Chaol then send her to Wendlyn

She goes off to Wendlyn and it takes her 2 weeks to get there.

Heir of Fire - in first two weeks Celaena lays on roofs of Wendlyn until Rowan spots her and brings her to one of the keeps for in a case of siege. Plot continues as Celaena trains with Rowan. In that time the love story between Dorian and Sorscha happens that lasts couple of weeks. And the book end around middle of May because Celaena's birthday is at the begging of May and she was still training at that time. Week later she came to Doranelle as she mastered her gifts and confronted Maeve.

Another pause of two to three weeks after she onboarded to the ship to Rifthold and after Sorscha's execution.

Queen of shadows - the whole plot is told in two weeks, nothing more, nothing less. The reason is that when Celaena came to Rifthold she met Chaol again and made a plan how to rescue Aedion. That took 2 days. The dinner with Arnobynn and his murder happened during that week. After that they planed how to free Dorian from the Valg collar. Their trip to Oakwald forest took 4 days and after they came to Rifthold, the day after, Celaena presented herself as king's Champion who came back from Wendlyn. The glass castle scene happened and that sums up this book. So the book takes place in June because Dorian's birthday is mentioned and in Assassin's blade it says it's in begining of summer.

After that Aelin and her court parts with Dorian and Chaol to go to Terrasen which journey takes two to three weeks.

Empire of storms / Tower of Dawn - those two books take place in the same time but the perspective and place are different. In empire of storms it's in Erilea while in Tower of Dawn it's in Antica due to Chaol being invalid. Both books take place during the summer but while Empire of storms end in August due to Aelin being locked in coffin, Tower of Dawn continues until September. Because it mentions Yrene's birthday while the weather becomes colder.

Another pause of two months and during that time Aelin is held captivated in Doranelle.

Kingdom of Ash - the two months have passed and Rowan, Elide and Lorcan continued for their hunt for Aelin. Until she blows off some of the power they sensed her and planed to distract Maeve until they rescue her. It took them two days for the whole rescue plan and another five days to get to the Wendlyn's shore flowing in underground waters. During that time Chaol and Yrene travel from Antica with the army until they hear that there is attack on Anielle. The siege lasted five days until Aelin and her court appeared to beat the army. During that time Dorian and Manon find Croochan's while Aedion and Lysandra fight in Terrasen. Time laps between every battle in the north is around one to two weeks because the only mentioned are in Eldrys and in Perranth ( not including one In Orynth ). After that they march towards north when the final battle of Orynth happens. In one of the dialogues Rowan tells Gavriel they will fight in Terrasen with Aedion before Yullemas. So the story ends in late November. In the epilogue it's fast-forward to spring and rebuilding the kingdom.

Disclaimer : this is not synopsis of the series and I did not include a lot of events, only the one that are important to understand time-place connection.

I hope it helps!

Nehemiah 8:10 - 12

No matter how bad this life is, we have Eternal Life because of the Resurrection.

vs 17 Our faith is futile if the Resurrection didn't take place. It would be meaningless and fruitless.

But Christ has Risen! That is a most precious thing. It is a life giving and life changing faith.

If He wasn't raised, we're still in our sins.

Sin is real and can't be denied.

Christ has been raised. Therefore sin has been dealt with.

vs 18 If He hadn't been raised, there is no hope. If He has been Raised, those who have fallen asleep in Christ are Saved.

vs 19 If He has been Raised we have an obligation to spread the Gospel.

Nehemiah Dedicates the Wall

27 Now at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem they sought out the Levites in all their places, to bring them to Jerusalem to celebrate the dedication with gladness, both with thanksgivings and singing, with cymbals and stringed instruments and harps. 28 And the sons of the singers gathered together from the countryside around Jerusalem, from the villages of the Netophathites, 29 from the house of Gilgal, and from the fields of Geba and Azmaveth; for the singers had built themselves villages all around Jerusalem. 30 Then the priests and Levites purified themselves, and purified the people, the gates, and the wall.

31 So I brought the leaders of Judah up on the wall, and appointed two large thanksgiving choirs. One went to the right hand on the wall toward the Refuse Gate. 32 After them went Hoshaiah and half of the leaders of Judah, 33 and Azariah, Ezra, Meshullam, 34 Judah, Benjamin, Shemaiah, Jeremiah, 35 and some of the priests’ sons with trumpets—Zechariah the son of Jonathan, the son of Shemaiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Michaiah, the son of Zaccur, the son of Asaph, 36 and his brethren, Shemaiah, Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, Judah, and Hanani, with the musical instruments of David the man of God. And Ezra the scribe went before them. 37 By the Fountain Gate, in front of them, they went up the stairs of the City of David, on the stairway of the wall, beyond the house of David, as far as the Water Gate eastward.

38 The other thanksgiving choir went the opposite way, and I was behind them with half of the people on the wall, going past the Tower of the Ovens as far as the Broad Wall, 39 and above the Gate of Ephraim, above the Old Gate, above the Fish Gate, the Tower of Hananel, the Tower of the Hundred, as far as the Sheep Gate; and they stopped by the Gate of the Prison.

40 So the two thanksgiving choirs stood in the house of God, likewise I and the half of the rulers with me; 41 and the priests, Eliakim, Maaseiah, Minjamin, Michaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah, with trumpets; 42 also Maaseiah, Shemaiah, Eleazar, Uzzi, Jehohanan, Malchijah, Elam, and Ezer. The singers sang loudly with Jezrahiah the director.

43 Also that day they offered great sacrifices, and rejoiced, for God had made them rejoice with great joy; the women and the children also rejoiced, so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard afar off.

Temple Responsibilities

44 And at the same time some were appointed over the rooms of the storehouse for the offerings, the firstfruits, and the tithes, to gather into them from the fields of the cities the portions specified by the Law for the priests and Levites; for Judah rejoiced over the priests and Levites who ministered. 45 Both the singers and the gatekeepers kept the charge of their God and the charge of the purification, according to the command of David and Solomon his son. 46 For in the days of David and Asaph of old there were chiefs of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving to God. 47 In the days of Zerubbabel and in the days of Nehemiah all Israel gave the portions for the singers and the gatekeepers, a portion for each day. They also consecrated holy things for the Levites, and the Levites consecrated them for the children of Aaron. — Nehemiah 12:27-47 | New King James Version (NKJV) The Holy Bible; New King James Version®.

Fasting.

It comes from the Greek "nestheia" = not to eat, to abstain from food. Fasting is a time when the pain of hunger sharpens our sense of penitence and reminds us of our weakness and dependence on God. It is dying to our fleshly passions, it is humbling ourselves before God. It is accompanied by prayer, it makes us grow in our relationship with God, it brings deliverance and breaks bondage. In the Bible we see various reasons for fasting:

To be attentive to the voice of God (Matthew 4:2)

To know God's will in a particular matter (Judges 20:26; Acts 14:23).

To show repentance (1 Samuel 7:6; 2 Samuel 12:16, 21-23; Nehemiah 9:1-3; Daniel 9:3; Joel 1:14, 2:12-15; Jonah 3:5).

For protection from God (2 Chronicles 20:3; Ezra 8:21-23; Esther 13-16).

As a part of worship (Luke 2:36-37; Acts 13:2-3)

When there is sorrow (1 Samuel 31:13; 2 Samuel 12:16; Daniel 6:18).

Deliverance (Matthew 17:21)

How to fast correctly? Do it quietly and sincerely, not to boast or seek the approval of others (Matthew 6:16-18). Fasting is not to pressure God to meet our demand, fasting changes us, not God.

“Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice     and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free     and break every yoke?  Is it not to share your food with the hungry     and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter— when you see the naked, to clothe them,     and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood  Then your light will break forth like the dawn,     and your healing will quickly appear; then your righteousness[a] will go before you,     and the glory of the Lord will be your rear guard.  Then you will call, and the Lord will answer;     you will cry for help, and he will say: Here am I.

“If you do away with the yoke of oppression,     with the pointing finger and malicious talk,  and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry     and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness,     and your night will become like the noonday.

Isaiah 58:6-10
