What the Spirit Produces in Us with Rick Soto

In this family-service message, Pastor Rick continues from Hebrews 1 and moves into Galatians 5 to show that God’s word doesn’t just inform us, it transforms us. The same Jesus who upholds the universe by the word of His power now speaks through His Spirit to set us free from the slavery of sin and self-destruction. Using a simple comparison between old combustion engines and new electric cars, and a creative walk-through of the fruit of the Spirit using American Sign Language, Rick unpacks how love, joy, peace, and the rest of the Spirit’s fruit are not self-improvement goals but divine life planted in us. The message ends with a call to be baptized afresh in the Holy Spirit and to “keep in step with the Spirit,” so that our lives bear real, lasting fruit in Christ.
