Fruit of the Spirit

Series: Galatians

Date preached: 19th March 2023

Paul was incredibly frustrated. After pouring his heart and soul into the Galatian church he couldn’t believe that they would drift so far from the message of freedom and grace that he taught them. In this message Matt talks about what life looks like for followers of Jesus living in the ‘freedom’ that comes with faith in Jesus - about the ‘fruit’ we should expect to see.

Questions to reflect on and discuss from this message:

1. What are your first thoughts when you hear the words “fruit of the spirit” in church?

2. How does it feel to hear Matt say that the fruit of the spirit isn’t a list of things to do, but the natural result of a life lived in step with the spirit?

3. When you think about your own life, how “in step” with the spirit are you?

4. What is one thing you could do this week to walk more in step with the spirit of God? (Remember this isn’t something to do so that God will love you - rather it’s a response to what God has already done for you)?.
