🎧 “Fruit of the Spirit: The Battle Within” — Galatians 5:16–26
In this opening message of the Fruit of the Spirit series, James takes us to Galatians 5 to explore what real Christian growth looks like. Using the simple image of a fig tree, he asks: how can you tell if someone truly belongs to Christ? By their fruit.

This sermon unpacks the spiritual battle between the flesh and the Spirit — revealing how our old self fights against the new life God has planted within us. James challenges us to “pull the weeds, plant the seed, and walk by the Spirit,” reminding us that genuine transformation isn’t instant, but inevitable when the Holy Spirit is at work.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in your faith or unsure whether you’re really growing, this message will help you see what’s possible when God’s Spirit takes root in your heart.
