Easter offers a new life in Christ. What does that look like? God offers us the fruits of his Spirit. This Easter season we’ll look at these fruits and consider how we can apply these gifts to his church. You can find the original lessons, the power point slides, and the video from Bible class following worship is linked up in each picture.
Lesson One: Love
Our first lesson is on the topic love. Why does love mean so many different things? I love pizza and the Minnesota Vikings, but I also love my God, wife, and children. Those are very different things. We’ll look at the source of love and how we can show that love to others.

Lesson Two: Joy
You’ve go the joy, joy, joy down in your heart – WHERE?! Down in your heart! Joy can be a tough one because we aren’t always joyful. Life can be difficult. Let’s look and see where joy comes from and how we can cultivate this fruit of the spirit.

Lesson Six: Self-Control
How much self-control do you have? Maybe there’s a candy bar that calls out your name? Is it time wasting activities on your phone or social media? There are plenty of things that we know that we should do. How can we make sure that we actually do them? We’re onto the topic of self-control! Let’s see what God has to say about this matter.
