1. What does this passage show me about God?

   • What does the Spirit produce, and what does Paul say there is no law against?

2. What does it show me about people — and about myself?

   • What is the conflict Paul describes between the flesh and the Spirit?
   • Is fruit something you manufacture or something that grows?

3. What will I obey this week? (a concrete step, with a day)

   • Which fruit is most missing in you? What will you ask the Spirit for, and where will you walk in step with him this week?

4. Who will I tell?

   • Who could you invite to walk in step with the Spirit alongside you?

3 Grow

Growth is God's part, not yours. Do the cycle faithfully and trust Him to give the growth (1 Corinthians 3:6–7).
