About this study

In this series, we’ll explore the nine godly attributes that the Holy Spirit produces in the lives of believers as we grow in relationship with Jesus. Each week, we’ll see how these attributes are found in God’s character, we’ll look to the examples of Jesus in the Gospels and the early church in the New Testament, and we’ll discover how our lives can be defined by love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control!
