About this journey

A journey is a short, themed path through Scripture, one day at a time: a passage to read, a short reflection, a question to journal on and a prayer.

Start at day 1 and go at your own pace — your progress and private journal are saved on this device and synced if you sign in. A “Beta” tag means a pastor has not reviewed the journey yet.

Fruit of the Spirit

Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control are not a checklist to achieve but fruit the Spirit grows in us as we stay close to Christ. This week explores what that growth looks like day by day.

The days

  1. Day 1: Walk by the SpiritGalatians 5:16-26Paul contrasts the works of the flesh with the fruit of the Spirit, and calls believers to keep in step with the Spirit rather than rely on their own effort.
  2. Day 2: Abide in the vineJohn 15:1-8Fruit comes from staying connected to Jesus the true vine; apart from him we can do nothing, and the Father lovingly prunes so we bear more fruit.
  3. Day 3: Love is patient and kind1 Corinthians 13:4-8Love is described by what it does and does not do — patient, kind, not proud or self-seeking, keeping no record of wrongs — and it never fails.
  4. Day 4: Joy when the fig tree failsHabakkuk 3:17-19The prophet chooses to rejoice in God even when the harvest fails; joy rests in the Lord himself, who gives strength like a deer on the heights.
  5. Day 5: Let peace ruleColossians 3:12-15As God's chosen and beloved people, believers 'put on' compassion, kindness, humility, meekness and longsuffering, forgive one another, and let the peace of God rule their hearts.
  6. Day 6: Kindness and goodnessLuke 6:31-36Jesus calls his followers to treat others as they would want to be treated and to do good even to the ungrateful, reflecting the Father's own kindness and mercy.
  7. Day 7: Growing fruit that lasts2 Peter 1:5-8Peter urges believers to add virtue, knowledge, self-control (temperance), patience, godliness, brotherly kindness and love to their faith, so their lives will be fruitful.
