Introduction to The Fruit of The Spirit
Fruit of The Spirit : Part 1 - September 27, 2026
What does it really mean to live a Spirit-filled life? In Galatians 5, Paul teaches us that freedom in Christ isn't the freedom to live for ourselves—it's the freedom to love and serve others. Every day, we experience a conflict between our sinful nature and the Holy Spirit, which is why we're called to keep walking in the Spirit. As we remain connected to Jesus, the Holy Spirit produces character in us that we could never manufacture on our own. Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control are not qualities we simply choose from a menu—they are all part of becoming more like Jesus. As the fruit of the Spirit becomes visible in our lives, the world begins to see something different in us.
