2. Galatians 5:22-23

3. ‘Say it with fruit …’ the characteristics of sin
a sparkling jewel of grace
live for God’s pleasure
the fruit is for God’s satisfaction
stunningly special fruit
it’s all about Jesus!
Real McCoy believers
the graces of the Spirit

4. ‘Say it with fruit …’ life – growth – pruning
God is the divine pomologist
display every fragrance and flavour of the fruit
cf. Psalm 1:3
the fruit doesn’t appear overnight
the best fruit ripens naturally

5. ‘Say it with fruit …’ location, location, location
our job is to bear the fruit that he produces in us
cf. Genesis 49:22
his roots went to a spring
he blessed others – we soak in, then squeeze out
more fruitful after pruning
God is more interested in what I am than in what I do
