Fruit of the Spirit: Plant, Cultivate, and Grow is a 6-session Bible study that will help foster spiritual fruit in your life. God intends for us, His children, to bear fruit. According to Jesus, when we follow Him closely our lives will produce “much” fruit (John 15:5).
Many of us are familiar with the fruit of the Spirit from Galatians chapter 5 – love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control – but is the Spirit’s fruit evident in our lives? Are our lives producing an abundant harvest or are we in serious need of some spiritual fertilizer?
Whether we need some major pruning or just a little shaping up, all of us could benefit from studying and applying what God’s Word says about the fruit of the Spirit. This free study will take you on an easy stroll through Galatians 5:16-25.
Each session of the study you will Plant God’s truth in your hearts, Cultivate your own life to receive that truth, and take action to help it Grow! Here are a few things you’ll learn in Fruit of the Spirit: Plant, Cultivate, Grow
- What are the characteristics of a “fruitless” life?
- What does it mean to “live by the Spirit?”
- Just what is “fruit” anyway?
- Am I “fruity?”
- What should the fruit of the Spirit look like in my life?
- How can I improve my harvest?
Even if you’ve studied the fruit of the Spirit before, this study will be different. If you do the study, I’d love to hear from you about what God is teaching you!

Hi, how can I obtain the study for the fruits of the spirit? The link doesn’t seem to work. I love your studies.
Hi Jenny, thanks for letting me know there was a problem. I have the link fixed and I also emailed you.
Thank you sooooo much. This is a Blessing.
Thank you Kathy for the break down of the Fruit of the Spirit. I appreciated you explaining the letter from Paul to the Galatians. It was so enlightening for me. Today my vision is not the strongest but it is easier to sometimes study from my computer and you did a great job with the study. I will continue to follow you and your writings on various topics and scriptures in the Bible. I tend to study a lot in the word and I am part of a Bible Study Group. Thank you!
June, I am so glad you found the study helpful!

Dear Kathy, (sorry this is so long) This is the first time I have visited your website. One of your statements brought a gardening visual (or two) to mind…Many people think that for you to effectively serve Christ, you have to become an overseas missionary. For some, this may be true! It depends on God’s calling on your life. Some may be like the Bonsai, who remain in the same pot (city) with just a little shaping…or wires (character adjustment) to bend the tree into what the Gardener has determined it will be.
Then there are the grapes…who hang out together in the sun. Perhaps thinking that they are the best thing in the garden! And then reality sets in, as they go through the process of being crushed!!!! They don’t realize that what they will become through this crushing, will far surpass any other thing they could’ve been while hanging out on the vine! I have found that those areas GOD has crushed bring out a sweetness that would never be experienced without it! Thanks for enduring such a long comment!
Hi Brenda, thanks for coming by the site! And thanks for sharing your thoughts about gardening. God’s Word is full of imagery like that to help us understand His truths. I hope you find some resources here that will be useful!
