Join Pastor John Graner in our “Encounter” series as he explores “Hearing the Voice of God for Yourself.” Drawing from Galatians 5, John delves into the transformative power of the fruit of the Spirit, offering profound insights into living a Spirit-filled life that truly reflects the character of Christ.

John begins by examining Paul’s letter to the Galatians, highlighting the freedom found in Christ that liberates us from the constraints of the law. He emphasizes that salvation comes through Jesus alone, not through adherence to the law, urging us to love and serve one another with genuine intent as outlined in Galatians 5:13-21.

He explores the nine attributes of the fruit of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control—as essential elements that mirror Christ’s character. Focusing on love as the foundational fruit, John references Romans 5:8 and 1 John 4:7-8, reminding us that without love, our actions become meaningless, echoing 1 Corinthians 13:1-3.

John distinguishes joy from mere happiness, noting that joy comes from truly knowing God and remains steadfast regardless of circumstances. Citing Nehemiah 8:10 and Psalm 30:5, he encourages us to find strength in the joy of the Lord.

Addressing virtues like patience, kindness, and goodness, he acknowledges the challenges of embodying these qualities in today’s fast-paced world. Through personal stories and reflections on Ephesians 4:1-2 and Galatians 6:10, John illustrates how living out these virtues can transform our relationships and positively impact those around us.

He emphasizes that the fruit of the Spirit is essential, not optional, for our sanctification and relationship with Jesus. By submitting to the Holy Spirit, we can exhibit qualities like faithfulness and self-control, truly reflecting Christ in every aspect of our lives.

Don’t miss this inspiring message that encourages us to embrace the Holy Spirit’s guidance, live authentically, and cultivate the fruit of the Spirit daily. Be empowered to hear God’s voice for yourself and walk with Him in true freedom and love.
