Pastor Rick Beaudry reads Galatians 5:19–25 and uses Jesus’ image of trees to show how we are known by the fruit our lives bear. He contrasts the tree of loss (the works of the flesh such as adultery, fornication, idolatry, drunkenness) with the tree of love (the singular fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, self‑control) and warns that habitual practice of fleshly sin reveals a heart not transformed. Pointing to the tree of Calvary as the means to crucify the flesh, he calls us to abide in the Spirit, repent, cultivate Scripture meditation, and live out visible, persistent change. Practical application presses us to guard our minds from deception, resist cultural compromises, and choose to serve the Lord so our lives bear genuine, lasting fruit.
