This message “Bearing With One Another in Love” is part of a 10 Weeks on the Fruit of the Spirit "Grounded and Growing—Bearing Fruit" was lead by The Reverend Jacquelyn Foxall at Knox Presbyterian Church in Oakville, Ontario, June 21st, 2026 Service...Throughout Lent we explored how being rooted in the Good News of Christ results in growing and blooming in our lives. What a celebration we had on Easter Sunday morning! Carrying on with the theme of growth, for the next 10 weeks, we are discovering what else grows in us as we abide in Christ: From the flower comes fruit which provides nourishment and sustenance .While the Fruit of the Spirit are characteristics we’re called to embody, Paul makes it clear in Galatians 5 that this list isn’t a to-do list, but a promise. Those who live by the Spirit will bear good fruit. This fruitfulness isn’t the result of self-effort and personal striving, but comes by abiding in Christ, as a branch to a vine, that we might experience the life-giving power of the Holy Spirit. The Fruit of the Spirit (love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control) aren't prescriptive... They are descriptive! The Fruit of the Spirit describes the effect of a life lived abiding in Christ, as a branch to a vine.Our series is loosely based on a series by Laura De Jong for Reformed Worship by the Calvin Institute of Christian Worship.Associated Scripture: Psalm 89, Lamentations 3:22–33 & Ephesians 4:1–6

Today we're exploring what scholars have come to call the "Christ Hymn" - one of the oldest recorded pieces of early church poetry and praise. In it, we find that early theology developed around the idea of the self-emptying (kenosis) of God in the person of Jesus Christ, for the sake of service to others. Jesus was obedient to this call of servanthood to the point of death, even death on a cross. Paul reminds the Philippians of this song, and reminds them, too, that it's not just about Jesus - it's about them. It's about us. This is OUR song, too. We are called, in the power of Christ, to empty ourselves for the sake of others, to carry one another's burdens, to share in the joy and suffering of the gospel. Faith isn't a solo act - it's a community affair. Our song is not one of rugged individualism, but of unapologetic interdependence, care, and compassion.

We're moving out of the Gospels now and into the Epistles, or letters, written to the earliest communities of faith. Around 50 C.E., the very first Christian congregation in Europe was established by the Apostle Paul during his second missionary journey. Today we are hearing the first part of his letter to his beloved congregation in Philippi. Famous for its themes of joy, gratitude, and celebration in the gospel, the first chapter of Philippians is as encouraging to us today as it was to its original recipients. And it stands as a continuous reminder that our faith is NOT a solo-act, but is rather a life-long group project, team sport, a partnership... in the gospel.

One of the most intimate post-resurrection interactions happened between Peter and Jesus after breakfast, across a charcoal fire, after a long night of fishing. In three simple questions Jesus offers his friend the opportunity to make amends for the denials he had made less than 2 weeks prior. In response to his recommitment to Jesus, the Lord gives Peter action to take: Tend my Sheep. Our profession of faith has always been directly tied to action, to living out our love for Christ in our care for others. How does the hymn go? They'll know we are Christians by our... love.This message '' was lead by The Reverend Jacquelyn Foxall at Knox Presbyterian Church in Oakville, Ontario, on this 4th Sunday of EASTER April 26th, 2026.

Like some superhero movies, the Gospel of John gives us a 'post-credit scene' in chapter 21. And like those extra scenes in the movies, the events in John 21 give us hints and clues to how the earliest Christians understood the life of faith with each other and with the risen Christ. This is far more than another "gone fishing" story! John's post-credit scene is full of clues for us today, too, so pay attention and make sure you jot them down!This message '' was lead by The Reverend Jacquelyn Foxall at Knox Presbyterian Church in Oakville, Ontario, on this 3rd Sunday of EASTER April 19th, 2026.
