Floyd Baptist Church

Bro. Mike Lawrence took the text for his message “The Fruits of the Spirit” from Galatians 5:22.

There is a battle going on within us in which the flesh and the spirit are constantly struggling. This is sometimes illustrated as an angel sitting on one side of a man’s shoulder and the devil on the other side. The angel tells the man to go one way; the devil tells him to go the other. You can have only one master; you will choose either the sin of the flesh or you will choose God.

The following are some of the fruits of the Spirit:

(1) Joy: You can look at this word as an acronym. You can have true joy by putting Jesus first, others second and yourself last.

(2) Peace with God: You can have the joy of knowing your sins have been forgiven, and that you have eternal life with a home in heaven.

(3) A fruitful life: We should enjoy doing things for Jesus more than doing things for ourselves. If this is not a joy for us, we should ask ourselves why that is the case? What needs to be corrected?

Everyone is welcome to worship with us at Floyd.
