    What makes for an effective prayer life?

    READ: John 15:1-8 (Text: v7). [Read v7 again]. What EXACTLY does this verse mean? What is being promised here?

     | 10,693 views

    The Holy Spirit is not interested in producing a bunch of grapes with one big, fat grape and eight little, tiny grapes; but He wants us to grow in all nine characteristics simultaneously.

    We noticed when we first started this study that these qualities are called the FRUIT of the Spirit, not the FRUITS of the Spirit.
