Fruit of the Spirit
A Woman’s Walk with God
Growing in the Fruit of the Spirit
by Elizabeth George
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Galatians 5:22-23 NIV
Thanks to Sunday school, many of us know the fruit of the Spirit by heart. However, as we mature in Christ we realize that knowing the fruit of the Spirit is a whole lot easier than producing it within the context of our relationships with God and others. In A Woman’s Walk with God Elizabeth George will show you how rooting yourself in God’s grace and practicing the gracious habits of the Spirit will enable you to produce fruit that will last!

I’m excited about the next few weeks. Sunday School and the Women’s Fall bible study start back up in about two weeks. Its been great that the chapel where I attend takes a break during the summer. Like a “real” school year, students can enter the bible studies refreshed and ready for learning.
As Christians we should always have a deep desire to grow. If we don’t, we definitely need to check ourselves. As long as we are breathing, God has work for us to do. Often times before we can accomplish His plans for us, he has to mature us in certain areas. This fall we will be studying the Fruit of the Spirit, a great indicator for spiritual growth. I read another study by Elizabeth George a few years back so I think the ladies will really enjoy her style.
It’s my second time around teaching a women’s bible study and my continued prayer is to be a vessel God can use. This year I pray to be more proactive about encouraging others especially women my age (I’m youngest in the group) to join. I will keep you posted on the study’s progress!
