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!

Growing Up in God’s Family

God’s Word describes the body of believers as “brothers and sisters” and “co-heirs” with Jesus, and when Jesus taught His disciples to pray, He began by saying, “Our Father.” Why?
