Fruit of the Sinful Nature?
Have you ever wanted to get even with someone who hurt you? Have you ever been
tempted to lie or steal to avoid getting into trouble? These wrong behaviors come
naturally to us. They are the "fruit," or result, of our sinful nature (Galatians 5:16-21).
But the Bible tells us about a special and better fruit given to those who trust in and
follow Jesus. Is the Bible talking about apples, pears, and bananas? (Receive answers)
No! The Bible isn't talking about fruit we eat. It is talking about the godly character the
Holy Spirit grows in the lives of Jesus' followers.
Read Galatians 5:22-23 from a child-friendly Bible: "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy,
peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control."
(Show pictures of different fruit trees.)
How can we tell what kind of tree each one is? By its fruit! The fruit shows what kind of
tree it is. But fruit doesn't grow overnight. It takes time and care—water, nutrients, and
sunshine—to grow a healthy tree that produces good fruit.

Can You Chunk?
The concept of chunking is a technique whereby you memorize small bits of information at a time. Telephone numbers and credit cards are typically chunked. Psychologists have determined that 5-7 bits of information is the optimal amount per chunk to memorize.
When memorizing the Books of the Bible or Scripture verses, it is best to divide the information into smaller bits of information and then commit it to memory before moving on to the next bit of information.
