From the 3rd portion of teaching on the Holy Spirit this past Sunday (Galatians 5:22 & 23):

How might our understanding of discipleship change if we view it primarily as living a Spirit-filled life rather than following a code of conduct?

In what ways does treating the fruit of the Spirit as a to-do list hinder our spiritual growth, and how can we shift our perspective?

How does the concept of Jesus divesting himself of certain divine prerogatives during the incarnation impact our view of his humanity and reliance on the Holy Spirit?

What are some practical ways we can cultivate an attitude of surrender to the Holy Spirit in our daily lives?

How might our approach to overcoming sin and personal weaknesses change if we fully embraced the idea that 'without Him we can do nothing'?

In what ways does the fruit of the Spirit reflect Jesus' character, and how can focusing on Christ help us grow in these areas?

How does understanding joy as a 'deep-seated sense of well-being' independent of circumstances challenge or encourage you in your faith journey?

What does it mean practically to have Christ 'formed in us' through the work of the Holy Spirit, and how might this process look different from person to person?

How can we balance the need for personal discipline and effort with reliance on the Holy Spirit's power in developing self-control?

In what ways might viewing gentleness and meekness as strengths rather than weaknesses transform our interactions with others and our understanding of Christ-like character?
