The Fruit of the Spirit

Jesus promised a gift to His followers that would stay with them always: the Holy Spirit! The Spirit brings life. The Spirit sets us free. The Spirit dwells in us. The Spirit empowers us.

So what does a life transformed by the Spirit look like? The apostle Paul painted the picture for us in his letter to the churches in Galatia: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

Join Pastor Chuck Swindoll in this exploration of each “fruit of the Spirit,” and walk in newness of life!
