The Fruit of the Spirit: A journey where conviction and encouragement intersect

The Fruit of the Spirit, A journey where conviction and encouragement intersect, is a six-week Bible study that takes participants into a deep dive into the biblical truth of the fruit the Holy Spirit produces in the life of a follower of Jesus.

The study begins with building the foundation from Paul's teaching in Galatians. From there, a week is spent on the fruits of love, joy, and peace individually as these fruits express the Godward aspect of the Christian life.

The final two weeks culminate in the study of the remaining fruits, which are all reflective of the character of God produced in the lives of His sons and daughters as they live their lives yielded to Him and filled with the Holy Spirit.

This study is sure to produce a deeper understanding of life in the Spirit.
