week 15 – Galatians 5 – “Freedom Fruit”
This week we’re talking about Galatians 5.
There is a lot of power in the entire Word of God.
But you will be hard pressed to find a more potently helpful verse when it comes to developing Christ-like character than in Galatians 5.
And of course, I’m talking about the well known passage about the FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT.
But let’s not forget, Galatians 5:22-23 is written in the context of FREEDOM IN CHRIST.
This 9 fruits of the Spirit are the overflow of a life lived close to Jesus, and they are both (1) a result of more freedom in Him, and (2) lead to EVEN MORE freedom in Him.
The context is Freedom in Christ.
So let’s KEEP IN STEP WITH THE SPIRIT this week, as we study this chapter together.
QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF
- If you were to rate your level of freedom right now from 1-10, how would you rate it?
- What from this list in Galatians 5:22-23 stands out to you as a weak spot when it comes to walking in that specific fruit & walking in total freedom in that area of your life?
- What are some things that cause me to act the opposite of each of these fruits of the spirit?
- How would God have me respond/act/re-act/think/speak differently than I currently do in this area?
- Which fruits of the Spirit are your strength areas for you, or at least areas where you walk in more freedom because of the Lord already?
- Which one needs the most work so that you can start right there for starters?
- How could you practically work on that specific fruit of the Spirit in the context of freedom and living that one out like Jesus?
SCRIPTURE
Galatians 5
WEEKLY FOCUS
This week, read through GALATIANS 5 as many times as you want to.
Think about the FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT.
Ask God if there are any areas in your life that need some reshaping in order to KEEP IN STEP WITH THE SPIRIT IN THESE 9 WAYS.
Let this theme guide your God time all week, and even your thoughts and conversation with Him through out your days, all week long.
Let Him speak to you about this idea of KEEPING IN STEP WITH THE SPIRIT IN THE CONTEXT OF FREEDOM, and see what He says.
We’d love to hear your feedback/thoughts/questions, so hop into the Bible Studies conversation thread in SLACK & we’re excited to see what the Lord speaks to you this week.
BLESSINGS!
