INTRODUCTION:
Everyone has their favorite fruit, right? Some people are big fans of apples. Some people like citrus fruits ike oranges and grapefruit and tangerines. Some like berries strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, you name it. Some like exotic fruits like kiwi and pineapple. With so many choices and so many people in the world, there’s a fruit out there for just about every set ot taste buds. There’s a famous passage in the Bible about the fruit I want to share with you today. This Fruit can do so many things. This fruit can help us make good choices. lt can help us learn to treat others better. It can keep us from sin, and it can focus our minds on Jesus. We are not talking about just one fruit, but nine fruits. The bible calls them the Fruit of the Spirit.

PROGRESSION OF EVENTS: Galatians 5:22-23

1. God wants us to love others. He wants us to love him, and he wants us to share his love with the world. That’s why the first fruit is love.
2. God also wants us to have joy. Joy is more than emotion like happiness. Joy is knowing that no matter what happens, good or bad, God is in control. Even when we are sad, we can have joy, knowing that God is looking out for us.
3. Peace is something we can have when life is going crazy. It’s also something we can share. We can bring peace to bad Situations by doing good and loving others.
4. Patience is Something we all need more of! Patience means not Just waiting, but trusting God is working all things out for our good.
5. Kindness, goodness, and gentleness are the way we treat others. God wants us to be kind and loving toward others doing good where it is needed.
6. Faithfulness means being true to God, true to our loved ones, and true to our friends

CLIMAX: And self-control means learning to control our emotions and actions. We don’t react in anger. We think before we speak. We consider our words Carefully. We resist the temptation to sin, and we do the right thing.

CONCLUSION: The Spirit the bible talks about here is the Holy Spirit. It is part of the Trinity with God the Father and Jesus, God the Son.

CHALLENGE: When we accept Jesus as our Savior, God sends the Holy Spirit to live in our hearts. The Holy Spirit guides us so that we can live a life that is holy and pleasing to God. When the bible talks about the Fruit of the Spirit, it means the fruits that grow in our lives. When you are tollowing Christ and striving to serve others, people see these fruits in you. When you give your heart to Jesus and let him take control, the Fruit of the Spirit will grow in your life. Others will see Jesus in you through those fruits, and they will want Jesus for themselves. The Fruit of the Spirit can help you make a difference in this world. The Fruit of the Spirit is the recipe for pleasing God.

INVITATION: For you to have the fruit of the Spirit, you must accept Jesus as Lord and Saviour (John I:12).
