FruitFull | Love | Week 1
16 So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. 17 For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. 19 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom ofGod. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. - Galatians 5:16-23
1. Walking in the Spirit isn’t SOMETHING we DO, it is the SUM of WHO we are in
Christ.
2. The Gospel INFORMS and TRANSFORMS us.
3. Christian Liberty is not LEGALISM.
4. Christian Liberty is not a LICENSE.
5. We can’t MAKE the fruit, but we can GIVE it.
6. Love LOOKS at God and others.
7. Love LISTENS to God and others.

Sermon Notes
Fruit Full | Joy | Week 2
12 But I want you to know, brethren, that the things which happened to me have actually turned out for the furtherance of the gospel, 13 so that it has become evident to the whole palace guard, and to all the rest, that my ] chains are in Christ; 14 and most of the brethren in the Lord, having become confident by my chains, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.15 Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from goodwill: 16 The former preach Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my chains; 17 but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel. 18 What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes, and will rejoice. - Philippians 1:12-28 NKJV
1. Joy is not based on our CIRCUMSTANCES, it’s based on CHRIST.
2. When life is CHAOTIC, God is still in CONTROL.
3. When life is WEARING me out, God will WORK it out.
4. When I can’t locate God in the PAIN, He is still worthy of PRAISE.
5. Don’t always EXPECT an EXPLANATION.
6. Always be OPEN for new OPPORTUNITIES.
7. Live out the MANDATE of the MESSAGE.
