In our new series, Cultivate, we've been reminded by Scripture that we can’t make the fruits of the Holy Spirit grow in our lives; only God can do that! But we can cultivate environments where fruit is more likely to grow. Before we engage with each fruit in particular, we need to first consider a crucial step in the cultivation process: pruning. Pruning precedes the growth of the things we seek the most, and it's also the one step we usually avoid. This sermon dives into what it means to prune our lives, how we do it, and the blessings it affords us.
