“Fruition”
Common Ground 2022
Most of us have heard the list: Love. Joy. Peace. Patience. Kindness. Goodness. Faithfulness. Gentleness. Self-control. In a world filled with selfishness, anger and violence, the fruit of the Spirit reminds us there’s a better way. It’s a beautiful portrait of a life well-lived—a life that reflects Jesus and blesses those around us. But we’ll never experience this kind of life by trying harder; it comes naturally when we learn to walk in the power of the Holy Spirit.
