In this powerful message from our Summer Fruit series, Pastor Jason Heron dives into the third fruit of the Spirit—Peace. Preached on August 10th, this sermon explores what it truly means to live in the peace of God in a world full of anxiety, conflict, and uncertainty. Pastor Jason unpacks how peace is not just a feeling but a deep, abiding state that comes from trusting in God’s presence and promises.

In his message titled "Fruitful Soil," Pastor Jason Heron explored the parable of the sower from Matthew 13. He highlighted how the same seed (God's Word) produces different results depending on the condition of the soil (our hearts). Pastor Jason challenged the congregation to examine the state of their own hearts, asking if they were like the path, the rocky ground, or the thorny ground, which all prevent the seed from taking root and bearing fruit. He emphasized that to be fruitful soil, our hearts must be prepared to receive and nurture God's Word, allowing it to grow deep roots and produce a harvest of righteousness. This powerful message served as a call to cultivate a receptive, soft, and weed-free heart so that we can bear abundant fruit for the Kingdom.

In this thought-provoking sermon, Pastor Jason Heron distinguishes between self-control and self-discipline. He explains that self-control is the ability to say "no" when tempted, while self-discipline is the strength to say "yes" even when your flesh resists. Drawing from Scripture, Pastor Jason challenges believers to embrace both qualities, showing how they are essential for living out the fruit of the Spirit in daily life.
