Faithfulness by the Spirit

What do you do when you’re waiting on God… and nothing seems to change?

In this message, “Faithfulness by the Spirit,” Brad teaches on the fruit of the Spirit — faithfulness — and what it means to trust God when there’s no visible progress, no cloud in the sky, and every part of you feels like giving up.

Looking at 1 Kings 18:41–46 (Elijah and the drought) and Galatians 5:22–23, Brad shows how God often works “underground,” forming the foundation before the breakthrough. You’ll also learn how the enemy tries to steal faithfulness through distraction, distortion, and destruction — and how to fight back by remembering God’s faithfulness, removing lies, and re-upping your yes to God.

If you’ve felt tired, discouraged, or like God is silent, this sermon on faithfulness, perseverance, and trusting God’s timing will encourage you to stay planted and steady — because He is faithful.
