Introduction

What does it look like for the Holy Spirit to transform our lives? In our new sermon series, The Fruit of the Spirit, we’ll explore Paul’s teaching in Galatians 5 about what happens when we walk with the Spirit rather than follow the desires of the flesh. The fruit of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control—is not simply a list of qualities we try harder to develop. It is the evidence of God’s transforming work within us.

As we grow in our relationship with God, His character is gradually formed in us. Together, we’ll discover what it means to grow in Christ, understanding both the struggle of spiritual growth and the grace of God at work in us.
