Fruit of the Spirit: How to Abide in Christ and Live Spirit-Filled

So many of us try to “be better Christians” by sheer willpower—but the Bible teaches a better way. In this message, Marian Jordan Ellis unpacks Galatians 5, John 15, and Ephesians 5 to show that the fruit of the Spirit is not something we produce on our own. Instead, it is the supernatural overflow of abiding in Christ and being filled with the Holy Spirit.

➡️ What you’ll learn in this teaching:

The difference between the works of the flesh and the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5)

Why “whatever fills us controls us” and how to walk under the influence of the Spirit

The secret to bearing fruit: abiding in Jesus, the true Vine (John 15)

What it practically looks like to live the Spirit-filled life every day

Friend, you don’t have to strive to produce fruit on your own—Jesus promised that when we remain in Him, His Spirit will empower us to live with love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
