Better | You Can't Force Fruit - Brent Parsley

Part 4 of Better What does it really mean to grow spiritually?Many people read Galatians 5 and see the fruit of the Spirit — love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control — as a list of qualities they need to work harder to produce. But Paul does not call them the fruit of willpower. He calls them the fruit of the Spirit.In this message from the Better series, Pastor Brent Parsley teaches how the Holy Spirit forms real change in us. Spiritual maturity is not produced by behavior modification or simply trying harder. It comes from walking with the Spirit and allowing God to do deep work over time.This message will help you understand why spiritual growth can feel slow, why relationships often reveal what is really happening inside us, and why Jesus says we cannot bear fruit apart from Him.The fruit is not the root. The fruit is the result.
