Fruit is a great source of nutrition for our bodies. It adds
sweetness to our diets and vitality to our lives. But fruit is much
more than just a source of physical sustenance. As Christ
followers, we are called to display the vitality and vibrancy that
juicy fruit can bring to our spiritual lives. And that fruit is
seen in the characteristics of Christ that the Holy Spirit produces
in our lives. In a society where being dry and sour is acceptable,
we must demonstrate the sweetness of our spiritual fruit and the
nutrition it can provide for others around us. In this in-depth
study, you will discover what it means not only to produce
spiritual fruit in your own life; you’ll also learn how to reveal
those characteristics to those around you. And you will discover
how a life dedicated to these principles ultimately leads to the
kind of satisfying, vibrant life that God has in store for each of
us.

Youth Notes for each session.
