Transformational Life’s ten-week study guides you through the transformational process of dependently abiding in Christ, which abundantly bears the fruit of the Spirit. This transformation is not a one-time event; rather, abiding in Christ and bearing fruit is an ongoing, life-long process. It is a process that transforms us like nothing else, shaping us into the men and women God created us to be.
The glorious gifts God grants Christians when we accept Christ as our Lord and Savior are nothing less than miraculous. God gives us a new heart and spirit empowered by the Holy Spirit, our Counselor, and renews our relationship with Him. This, in itself, is a truly transformational blessing. However, it becomes transformational when we learn to live, love, and lead with our new heart, transformed mind, and renewed spirit, enabling us to become abundant fruit-bearers.
In Galatians 5:22-23, the apostle Paul lists nine specific virtues/behaviors that are the result of the Holy Spirit’s work. These are commonly referred to as the Fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness, and self-control.
The purpose of this 10-week study group series is to awaken the Spirit that lives within you, helping you produce a greater abundance of fruit. Each week, you will discover how God is working or “pruning” your heart, mind, and spirit, enabling you to bear more fruit. If you are not yet a Christian, we pray that each lesson will encourage you to learn more about God and the plan He has for your life. Therefore, join us in learning how to live a Transformational Life.
