These forty-eight weekly Bible studies were written with one goal in mind-to allow the Spirit of God to use the Word of God to produce his 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 the blank with one word answers.
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.
