About this listen

Today’s Lesson Point is: Spiritual fruit grows from a life led by the Holy Spirit. This means true change happens not by trying harder, but by staying connected to Christ and letting the Spirit shape who we are—from the inside out.

This is the first lesson in a 4-part series called "Walking It Out: A Spirit-Led Life," where we’ll explore how the Fruit of the Spirit forms Christlike character and strengthens the way we relate to others. When we walk in the Spirit, we build deeper trust, reduce conflict, communicate with grace, and create more meaningful relationships—with God, ourselves, and the people in our lives.

I have 3 points:

  1. Fruit Is Grown, Not Earned - Galatians 5:22–23 Spiritual fruit develops through connection with the Holy Spirit, not through effort or performance.
  2. Freedom That Serves, Not Controls Galatians 5:13–15 We are free in Christ, but that freedom is meant to express love through service—not self-indulgence.
  3. Walking with the Spirit, Daily Galatians 5:16–18, 24–26 Living by the Spirit is a daily decision to surrender our will and reflect Christ in our actions.

While I unpack the scripture, ask yourself “How can I allow the Holy Spirit to lead my life so that Christ’s love is visible in my character? Today’s lesson comes from VTAdamsSpeaks.
