Galatians 5:22-25
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. 24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.

Our scripture today is quite commonly referred to as the fruit of the Spirit. Although we sometimes think that this should be the fruits of the Spirit. When we think of all of these as separate it seems as if we can pick which fruits we have and don’t. The truth is that these are all the signs of fruit; singular. Reread the scripture. How do you see the fruit of the Spirit in your life? How do you see the fruit of the Spirit in the life of our church?
