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. Bearing fruit is as gradual as the growth rate of a blade of grass. Can you see a blade of grass growing while […]

Vision for the Church: Gospel and Spiritual Fruit (pt3 of 4)

July 11, 2012 By ray

A second reason that we need to keep the gospel at the forefront of our minds and hearts is our need to have a posture of dependence on Christ. John 15:5 5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; […]
