Growing God’s Fruit teaches children about the growing cycle of apples from seed to harvest and relates the apple growing cycle to the growing cycles of the Fruit of the Spirit. Children will understand that their words, thoughts, and actions are the seeds they plant and if they plant seeds of love, they will harvest love. If they plant seeds of anger, they will grow anger. If they plant seeds of kindness, they will receive kindness in return. Children will be inspired to think about what they are planting and what they are harvesting in return. Bonus activities to reinforce these messages are included.

Why are so many Christians stagnant in their faith? Why do we often live as though the gospel stops at the moment of conversion? The good news of Jesus doesn’t stop the moment we get saved. In fact, salvation is only the beginning of God’s work in our lives. We often view salvation as the ending point; it’s really the beginning point. The gospel of Jesus doesn’t only justify us; it sanctifies us. When we receive the Holy Spirit at salvation, an incredible work begins to happen in us: we begin to bear fruit. When we are firmly planted in the gospel and committed to growing in Christ, He produces in us the fruits of the Spirit, the marks of a true Christian. In Bearing Fruit, Robby Gallaty walks us through the life of the Christian. Biblical, intentional, and practical, Bearing Fruit points our hearts to the gracious God who called us, justified us, and is now sanctifying us by the work of his Holy Spirit.
