"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, long suffering." (Galatians 5:22)
In Galatians 5:22 the nine gifts that come directly from God's Holy Spirit are revealed. Because they are stated so clearly, we must recognize their importance and strive to have these gifts become part of our everyday life, our everyday being. That through the work that we do and the things that we say, anyone would recognize these characteristics reside in us.
Beginning July 12, 2009 I will begin a 9 week sermon series entitled "Fruits of the Spirit." Come join us as we look deeper into these nine special gifts that come from the Holy Spirit. Come discover how these special fruits of the Holy Spirit can work in our lives and bring about change not only for ourselves but to the lives of those we touch.
Each week I will address one of the fruits in great detail answering the questions of what it is, why it is important and how we can develop it and grow with it.
Do you feel that no matter what you do, nothing ever changes? Do you find yourself looking for "something" but have no idea what that "something" is? Could it be that you are missing several of these fruits in your life? That your spiritual growth is being stunted due to the lack of these characteristics in your life. Come worship and fellowship with us and receive the blessing that God has waiting for you.
