Fruit of the SpiritFruit of the Spirit: JoyPhilippians 1:12-14; Philippians 4:4-13; Philippians 4:22; Acts 28:16, 30-31Paul wrote a letter full of joy while he was chained to a Roman soldier. His chains even helped the good news spread through the palace guard and into Caesar's household. Joy is a fruit of the Spirit. It doesn't come from how things are going. It comes from Jesus, who is with us and always at work.New TestamentJoySeeing God's WorldEvery Square InchColossians 1:15-20; Psalm 24:1; Colossians 3:17, 23From prison, Paul wrote to the church in Colossae that Jesus made all things, holds all things together and is first in everything. The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it. There's no part of life that doesn't belong to Jesus, so everything we do can be worship.New TestamentWorshipThe Church BeginsTimothy Learns God’s Word2 Timothy 1:5; 2 Timothy 3:14-17; Acts 16:1-3Timothy's grandmother Lois and mother Eunice taught him God's Word when he was little. He grew up to help Paul tell people about Jesus.

Many friends had gone away. He wrote to Timothy, "Come quickly! Only Luke is with me. Bring my cloak. And bring Mark." Long before, Paul and Mark had split up. Now Paul wanted him back. Paul wrote, "Everyone deserted me. But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me." Loneliness is a big feeling we can take to God. He is always with us, and He made us for friendship, so we reach out to others too.New TestamentFriendshipWith MusicWorthy Is the Lamb: A New Song in HeavenRevelation 5:1-14; Revelation 7:9-10; Psalm 96:1God showed John a vision of heaven.
