Flavor: Taste of the Fruit of the Spirit

“You will know them by their fruits.” Maybe you’ve heard that phrase before. It’s an adaptation of a famous saying of Jesus. Essentially it means that our character is revealed through the fruit that our lives produce. That doesn’t mean we have to have it all together, or that struggles are somehow a sign of failure. It means that in the midst of struggle our character and faith is often revealed. So what does the character of a Jesus follower look like? Join us this summer as we explore that question and find out what good fruit a life in the Spirit produces!
