Living Beyond Yourself: Exploring the Fruit of The Spirit by Beth Moore is an in-depth women's Bible study of the fruit of the Holy Spirit as presented in the book of Galatians. Beth walks participants through each fruit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. She encourages women to know the freedom of a Spirit-filled life. Through this study participants will look at the supernatural aspects of the fruit of the Spirit and that you cannot grow, learn, or produce the fruit on your own. Beth challenges you to develop the fruit by maintaining an intimate relationship with the Spirit of God. A Spirit-filled life truly results in living beyond yourself.
The Bible Study Book Includes 10 weeks of personal interactive study for five days a week.
Book purchase will be available in the church office, with the book cost being $18.00.
