Series: Relational Harmony in Your Home

Galatians 5:16-26
What would you like to change about yourself? And what have you done to change? Some of you have read self-help books while others have joined a gym. Some of you are pursuing a degree and others become religious.
Today we begin a summer teaching series for those who want to change. This is a series for those who have a desire to make their lives count. Here are nine beautiful qualities that everyone wants in their lives. I want you to possess them all. If you live out these nine beautiful qualities, your home will have greater harmony. If you have a desire to make your life pleasing to God, then lean in and listen up. For I have good news for you: God makes His power available to change your life.
Let's jump right in and I invite you to turn to page 1239 in your pew Bibles.
