In the third message of our series, Nathan explored the contrast between the "fruit of the Spirit" and the "works of the flesh", comparing a juicy mango to a decaying apple. He explained that while the flesh destroys community through social and religious sins, the Spirit creates unity and holiness. Using the concept of grafting, Nathan described believers as branches joined to the "rootstock of Christ" to produce character that mirrors Jesus. He emphasised that this growth requires yielding to the Spirit daily through prayer and Scripture. Ultimately, our character serves as evidence of the gospel, inviting others to experience the hope of Christ.
