This Week in Worship

  "Nine Fruits of the Spirit"

"Agape, the First Fruit"

We begin a ten-part series this Sunday on the nine fruits of the Spirit that the Apostle Paul lists in Galatians 5. The tenth Sunday will look at the fruits as a whole. This Sunday’s Fruit of the Week is love, or agape in Greek. Agape, a Greek word for love, is obscure and found only rarely in classical literature. As such, its meaning is not clearly defined. But the New Testament church took this word and claimed it as its own, giving it a central place in the life of Christian faith, as well as developing and deepening its meaning. Love is an abstract word, but it truly exists only in practice, in embodiment, when it is made concrete. It is the task of the church as a body to embody agape. This is fruit of the Spirit, a sign of the Holy Spirit’s work among us.   —Phil Waite
