Established Q&A

Pastor Gary continues the “Established” series by bringing us back to the fruit of the Spirit with todays Q&A. He asks, what does it look like when the Spirit of God is truly established in a believer’s life? The fruit: love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self‑control. These are not a list of optional virtues; it is the visible evidence that the living God dwells in us. We live in tension between the flesh (our old sin nature) and the Spirit. As we yield to the Spirit and “crucify” the flesh with Christ, God’s own character increasingly shows up in our relationships, our homes, and our workplaces.
