Trees & Their Fruit

Fruit of the Spirit

July 7, 2019 • Bryan Dugger • Luke 3:7–9, Luke 6:43–45

Give

Jesus calls men and women to allow the Spirit of God to reveal the condition of their hearts so that the transforming power of God can replace evil motives and actions for those that are good. Each person must choose to either be a good tree bearing good fruit or an evil tree bearing evil fruit. The choice begins in the heart.

Self-Control

November 3, 2019 • Bryan Dugger • Daniel 1:1–9

God wants His people to exercise disciplined self-restraint while trusting Him to handle the "big picture" of our circumstances. Self-control, then, is about the proper fulfilling of our desires and living submitted to God's perfect will.

Gentleness

October 27, 2019 • Bryan Dugger • Matthew 11:28–30, Galatians 6:1–2

Gentleness is not a weakness. It is a kind and humble empathy that is neither easily provoked nor slow to forgive. Even more, it is a virtue and fruit of the Holy Spirit that God expects and enables Christians to possess and display.

Faithfulness

October 13, 2019 • Bryan Dugger • Proverbs 3:1–6, Colossians 4:7–9

God's faithfulness to you is unmatched. And because we are shown this incomparable faithfulness, He expects us to follow His example.
