SUPER
FRUITS
This 12 week Super Fruit curriculum expands on the teaching on
the Fruit of the Spirit, covering all 9 fruits.
Fruit of the Spirit:
Love: We are to love the Lord our God with all our hearts,
soul and mind. This will enable us to show love by doing things
for others and being nice to family, friends and pets. God says
to love your enemies. That’s hard to do but God expects that!
Joy: There is a difference between joy and happiness.
Happiness is based upon “happenings,” meaning if good
things happen, you’re happy, but if bad things happen we are
unhappy. Not so with joy
Peace is being content with what God has given
us. Be happy with what you have.
Longsuffering is patients, not whining or complaining.
Remember, patience with your brothers or sisters, no matter how
hard that is.
Kindness is giving and helpful. Saying something
nice to someone that you see is feeling down?
Goodness means caring and understanding. Do a
little something extra to help out at home.
Faithfulness means to be true to God. You all
know right from wrong. You all know what God expects. You all know
what He says not to do.
Gentleness is being tender and calm. Again, being
kind to your family, friends and your pets.
Self-control is managing your wants and emotions.
Oh, this is a hard one! Don’t do things that you know you
shouldn’t be doing. If you have to hide it or lie about it,
don’t do it. Be careful how you act, what you say. Be careful
of the friends you pick.
Each Fruit of the Sprit session allows us
