Our Youth Pastor, Seth Austin, invites us to examine the fruit in our lives and its source. Drawing from Galatians 5:16-26 and John 15:1-5, we're reminded that true spiritual fruit comes only from abiding in Christ. The stark contrast between the fruit of the flesh and the fruit of the Spirit challenges us to evaluate our connection to the true vine. Are we striving in our own strength or allowing God's Spirit to work through us? This teaching beautifully illustrates how our attempts to produce fruit on our own lead to frustration and failure. Instead, we're called to childlike faith, trusting our Father's guidance and nurture. As we draw closer to God's heart, we'll naturally bear the fruit He desires, impacting those around us in ways we never could on our own.
