Matt Bownds preaches on the fruit of the spirit: Love and Joy, on Sunday 30th of April.

Dave follows up on Matt's sermon asking him some questions about our new mini series on the fruit of the spirit.

Questions asked in this podcast:

How come we have to battle the flesh if Paul says in v24 that we’ve ‘crucified’ it!?”

How is walking with the Spirit connected to abiding in Christ (Jn 15)?

How’s it connected to sanctification?

Is keeping the Lord’s commands, generally, a way of keeping in step with the Spirit? Or is obedience to God’s commands possible because we walk in step with the Spirit?

The Spirit produces this fruit, not us. So do we have a part to play in developing the specific aspects of the fruit? Or do we just walk with the Spirit and leave the details to him?

Why should we not simply think “I need to just try harder” when I see uneven fruit in my life?

You’ve said that the fruit can’t be faked, but legalism can be (as in showing up at Church etc)... how might we recognise a heart that is legalistic and is trying to fake the fruit?

How can a legalistic heart make everything “black and white”?

How can a licenseious heart make everything “grey”?

What is the good heart in the person more drawn to legalism?

What is the good heart in the person drawn towards license?

How can I actually recognise if I am keeping in step with the Spirit/bearing fruit? Is it a feeling? Is it tangible?

How do I get to the point where I want to “read my Bible, pray everyday?” if I’m a Christian who is not in that place?

How can there be “freedom” within “boundaries” as we think about walking with the Spirit?
