Book of Galatians – Teaching #2: How Fruit Works (pt2 of 3)

June 9, 2013 By ray

1) Fruit bearing is gradual. Paul, why does he use the word “fruit”? Why not say traits? He’s using an analogy of botanical growth and it speaks to the rate of growth.

Vision for the Church: Gospel and Spiritual Fruit (pt2 of 4)

July 11, 2012 By ray

Paul is an interesting person. Sometimes, he seemed shizophrenic. At times, he was so humble. He referred to himself as a chief of sinners. And to the weak, he became weak, to the Jew he became a Jew, and so on. He was so accommodating. Yet, in Gal 2, we see quite a different side of Paul.… Read more
