The Fruit of the Holy Spirit

FIRST15
About this episode

In today’s devotional, we’re going to explore how we can bear the life-giving, world-changing fruit of the Holy Spirit. Your life is meant to be marked by love, joy, and peace. And plants don’t bear fruit by trying harder, but by simply receiving abundantly whatever they need to bear fruit. May you experience the richness of God’s presence, the water of his peace, and the warmth of his love today as we seek to allow God to bear his fruit in our lives.

Our Scripture for today comes from Galations 5:22-23, and today's worship is 

Selah III by Hillsong.
