“The point for today’s lesson is God’s provision is both rain and ripe fields—obedience positions us to receive and reap (Lev. 26:3–5; John 4:31–38): when we walk in God’s ways He supplies in season, and as we do His will with eyes lifted, He shows us ready opportunities to gather eternal fruit.”

I have 3 points

1. Leviticus 26:3–5 — Provision Flows Through Obedience: When God’s people walk in His statutes, He sends “rain in season,” yielding abundance and safety—obedience is the channel of His timely supply.
2. John 4:31–35 — Provision Includes Nourishment and Opportunity Right Now: Doing the Father’s will is the believer’s true food, and with eyes lifted we see that God has already provided ready fields to work today.
3. John 4:36–38 — Provision Comes Through Partnership and Reward: God grants eternal fruit and real wages as sowers and reapers share the work—He lets us enter others’ labor so the whole body rejoices in one harvest.

“As I unpack the Scripture, ask yourself, ‘What provision has God already placed before me, and what one step of obedience will align me with His harvest today?’ Today’s lesson is brought to you by VT Adams Speaks.”

Brief guide for listening: notice the rain (resources God has already supplied), watch for the ripe fields (people and opportunities before you), and choose one faithful step you will take today in response.

Faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control are spiritual anchors that keep a believer steady in Christ. These fruits grow by intentional effort, the work of the Spirit, and staying rooted in God’s truth.

This is the final lesson in our Fruit of the Spirit series. We’ve walked through love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, and goodness. Now we close with the anchors: faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.

I have 3 points:

1. Faithfulness – Steady trust and loyalty to God (2 Peter 1:3–7) 2. Gentleness – Power under control (Colossians 3:12–14) 3. Self-Control – Saying yes to God over self (2 Peter 1:8–10)

While I unpack the scripture, ask yourself: “How anchored am I in Christ when life tests my faithfulness, challenges my gentleness, and tempts my self-control?”

I have a question… How does fruitfulness shape the way we treat others? But first, let’s define fruitfulness. In secular terms, fruitfulness means being productive or achieving positive outcomes. But as Christians, fruitfulness means allowing the Holy Spirit to produce godly character in us—especially in how we love and live with others.

Lesson Point: Fruitfulness in Relationships Requires Consistent Goodness Fruitful relationships are built on a foundation of sincere love, humility, and a commitment to doing what is right—regardless of how others behave. When we choose to respond with kindness instead of anger, patience instead of irritation, and goodness instead of revenge, we reflect the character of Christ. Even when it feels unnoticed or unappreciated, continuing to do good shapes our communities and honors God.

I have 3 Points today, each drawn from scripture that helps us understand how fruitfulness shapes the way we treat others:

1. Love that Clings to Goodness Romans 12:9–13 Fruitful love is sincere, humble, prayerful, and actively serves others.

2. Responding to Others with Patience and Peace Romans 12:14–18 Patience and kindness are shown through humility, empathy, and peaceful actions.

3. Overcoming Evil with Steadfast Goodness Romans 12:19–21; Galatians 6:9–10 Consistent goodness overcomes evil and produces a lasting harvest.

While I unpack the scripture, ask yourself “ How does fruitfulness shape the way I treat others??” Today’s lesson comes from VTAdamsSpeaks.
