Fruit of the Spirit
Week 7: Goodness
For Study and Homework This Week:
Use these scriptures to further explore the topic of Goodness. If one in particular speaks to you more than the others, or if you want to spend more time on one than the others, do it. These are merely a starting point; a place for you to start thinking through God’s plan for goodness and the Spirit’s role in inspiring that Goodness. If you can think of other scripture, please use it in your study and bring it to our Monday night meeting. Also, take time to tangibly explore goodness. What exemplifies goodness for you? How can you share in it with the group?
