Galatians 5:22 - Love, Joy, Peace

Sunday at Seven – Galatians 5:22 Love, Joy, Peace.

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.”

As promised, we finally got to Galatians 5:22, the fruit of the Spirit. It was worth the wait! Thanks to Mari Lewis for her preparation beforehand, and then walking us through love, joy and peace.

There was a lot to think about, I wonder what one thing struck you? For me it was the reminder of who Jesus is. He is love, joy and peace in perfection, and we are in Him!!
As hard as I try, I am so aware of the times when I’m not loving, joyful or at peace. Yet the great encouragement that Mari brought to us is that we now live in the Spirit, it’s His power that enables this fruit to grow in us. Let’s pray for one another that we will ’keep in step with the Spirit’…

Tim Keller: "The fruit of the Spirit is not merely the result of natural character traits
or willpower, but a supernatural work of the Holy Spirit".

Thank you too, Mari, for giving us some questions to chat through at our tables. It’s a real help in thinking through and applying what we’ve heard. Click here for the pdf of those reflection questions if you’d like to take a little more time over them.

That’s it for our Sundays at Seven 2024-25, have a good Summer everyone!!

New to church? New to the area? We’re so glad you’re here.

The Bridge Church is a growing family of Christians committed to sharing the good news about Jesus, loving one another, and serving our community in Pontprennau, Pentwyn, and beyond.

We’d love you to join us one Sunday. Here are answers to common questions to help you know what to expect.

When and where do you meet?

We meet every Sunday at 10am at Pontprennau Primary School, Heol Pontprennau, Cardiff (CF23 8LL). If you’re planning a first visit, you’re welcome to let us know in advance: office@bridgechurchcardiff.org.

Arriving about 15 minutes early helps with parking and finding a seat before the service starts. Parking is limited, so please park considerately.

What can I expect on a Sunday?

You’ll be welcomed at the door by our team, who can answer questions and help you find your way. Our service includes Bible readings, prayer, songs, and a talk explaining the Bible passage.

After the service, please stay for tea and coffee — it’s a great time to meet people and ask questions. Find out more about our Sunday services.

What happens to the children and youth?

We have groups for children and young people during the morning service. The service leader will announce when it’s time to go to their groups:

Crèche (up to 3 years): Stories, singing, crafts, and play in a caring environment.
Sunday School (Reception to Year 6): Interactive Bible learning through games, videos, and activities.
Youth (Years 7–13): Young people stay in the service, then meet afterwards to discuss and apply the sermon with a leader.
