The Challenging Part

The most challenging requirement of this honor is probably this:

8. Do one of the following:

a. Discuss how the Christian can possess the fruit of the Spirit as described by Paul in his letter to the Galatians (5:22-23). Self-evaluate which parts of the fruit of the Spirit you have started to acquire, and those you need God’s help to learn. Journal about your experience.

b. Complete an online or print Spiritual Gifts Inventory (preferably one “for youth”). Evaluate its description of what the tool lists as your possible spiritual gifts. Come up with two ways to try out a new ministry based on your discovery.

c. Using creative media (such as clay, diorama, or natural materials), share what the Bible means when it talks about Christian unity (Philippians 2:2-3, Ephesians 4:11-13, 1 Corinthians 1:10, Galatians 3:28, Acts 4:32)
