THE CONFLICT (16-18)

“OLD SELF” VS “NEW SELF” – BATTLE BETWEEN DESIRES

The main problem is not our desire for bad things, but our over desire for good things. 

WORKS OF THE FLESH (19-21)

FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT (22-23)

HOW TO GROW THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT (24-25)

We worship and adore Christ until our hearts find him more beautiful than the object (desires of the flesh) we felt we had to have!

FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT 

Love: To serve a person for their good and intrinsic value, not for what that person brings to you. 

Joy: a delight in God for the sheer beauty and worth of who He is. 

Peace: A confidence and rest in the wisdom and control of God. 

Patience: Ability to face trouble without blowing up or hitting out. 

Kindness: An ability to serve others, practically in a way which makes me vulnerable, which comes from having a deep inner security 

Goodness: Being the same person in every situation, rather than phony or hypocrite. 

Faithfulness: Loyalty, courage to be utterly reliable and true to your word. 

Gentleness: Not superior or self absorbed 

Self-Control: The ability to pursue the important over the urgent, rather than always being impulsive or uncontrolled.
