Lessons

In Galatians 5:25 (NIV), Paul writes, “Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.” Walking in step with the Holy Spirit keeps us in lockstep with God’s plan for our lives. How do we know if that’s happening? A key indicator is the presence of the Fruit of the Spirit. Notice that we didn’t say “fruits.” That’s because they aren’t a buffet from which you pick and choose. Those nine qualities are characteristics every Christian who walks with the Holy Spirit should display. This series will help your kids discover how to be that kind of Christian.
