Topic for February 23-27: Goodness

"But the fruit of the Spirit is…goodness"
Galatians 5:22-23 (NIV)

Why focus our discussion on the fruit of the Spirit? As Christians, we strive to live by being led by the Spirit within us. It is the key to living as we should be living. Looking closely at each fruit of the Spirit can show you your strengths. It can also show you if you need to make some changes in your life to allow God’s gift of the Spirit to grow stronger within you.

Do you need to hold on to more goodness in your life?
This week we will look at the fruit of the Spirit: goodness.
