Fruitful Character: Purpose & Foundation

Apostolic Life Cathedral | 6/4/2024 | 7pm

Fruitful Character Series: Lesson Two:[1]

  1. Our Purpose is to Bear Fruit…to be fruitful
  2. The Foundation of Fruitful Character is Love

Scripture Text: “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law” (Galatians 5:22-23).

John 15:1-5, “(1)  I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. (2)  Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. (3)  Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. (4)  Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. (5)  I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.”       

“Joy is love exalted; peace is love in repose; long-suffering is love enduring; gentleness is love in society; goodness is love in action; faith is love on the battlefield; meekness is love in school; and temperance is love in training.” -Dwight L. Moody
