Sermon Title: Fruit of the Spirit – Introduction
Date: September 7, 2025
Speaker: Mike Herron | River Church Elgin
This message marks the beginning of our Fruit of the Spirit series at River Church Elgin. In this introduction, Pastor Mike Herron lays the foundation by exploring the vital difference between the gifts of the Spirit and the fruit of the Spirit. He also takes time to contrast these with the works of the flesh, showing how each reveals what is truly at work in our hearts and lives.
As the series unfolds, we’ll journey through each of the fruits listed in Galatians 5, discovering how the Holy Spirit shapes us to live out love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
Join us as we set the stage for a deeper understanding of life in the Spirit and what it means to bear fruit that lasts.
