Fruit of the Spirit

Published 21 July 2013

These forty-eight Bible studies were written with one goal in mind – to allow the Spirit of God to use the Word of God to produce fruit in your life. These studies will help you discover what the Bible says rather than simply telling you what it says. They encourage you to think and to explore rather than to merely fill in blanks.

Fruit of the Spirit will help you discern what the Bible says about the vital traits that the Holy Spirit produces in believers, and move you beyond reflection to application. Designed for use as personal Bible study or group study, the interactive format will help you grow in your ability to reflect the character of Jesus and will aid not only in understanding the fruit, but also in applying them to daily life.

Ideal for small group leaders seeking in-depth Bible studies, Fruit of the Spirit also includes expanded leader’s notes for each Bible study.

Fruit of the Spirit includes six studies on each of the following fruit:

Faithfulness
Gentleness
Self-control
Love
Joy
Peace

Gentleness

by Phyllis J. LePeau

Gentle people are often viewed as weak. They would rather persuade than force. They are self-giving rather than self-assertive. They prefer a kind word rather than a cutting remark.

Self-Control

by Jack Kuhatschek

Published 13 August 2001

Our passions exert a powerful influence over us. The Tempter entices us to use these good gifts in ways that God never intended. Yet the more we do so, the more they tighten their grip, making us slaves to their every whim. This Fruit of the Spirit Bible study helps you master your passions. You’ll explore self-control in five crucial areas: controlling your tongue, your body, your desires, your appetites, and your finances. The final study looks at what it means to clothe yourself with Jesus Christ.
