Don’t Just Teach Character—Lead Kids into the Freedom of Christ

"The Fruit of the Spirit" curriculum is more than just a Sunday School lesson plan. It's a rescue mission that guides children away from the constant pressure of the world and into the freedom that Christ gives. Children are constantly pressured to measure up, chasing after something that never satisfies. This curriculum frees them from the burden of always trying to be good enough, by leading them into lasting peace that only Christ can give.

Main Idea for Kids: The Holy Spirit Sets Me Free to Be Who God Made Me.

I don’t have to do it all on my own. God is helping me every day to be more like Jesus. That’s real freedom!

We've included clear, simple definitions of each fruit of the Spirit so kids can understand what God is growing in them. Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness—these aren’t just good ideas; they are real ways the Holy Spirit changes our hearts.

Everything is tied back to Jesus’ example—not as a comparison that makes kids feel like they can’t measure up, but as inspiration to see what God can do in their lives. When children see how Jesus lived, they realize the Holy Spirit is at work in them too—helping them grow, love others, and live in the freedom of Christ!

9-Week Lesson Overview

Week 1: Love

Bible Story: The Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37)

Main Idea: We don’t have to earn God’s love—it’s a gift through Jesus!

Week 2: Joy

Bible Story: The Prodigal Son Returns (Luke 15:11-32)

Main Idea: True joy comes from knowing Jesus, not from what happens to us.

Week 3: Peace

Main Idea: Jesus gives us peace that nothing can take away.

Week 4: Patience

Bible Story: Abraham Waits for God’s Promise (Genesis 12-21)

Main Idea: Because God is patient with us, we can be patient with others.

Week 5: Kindness

Main Idea: We show kindness because God has been kind to us.

Week 6: Goodness

Bible Story: The Good Shepherd (John 10:1-18)

Main Idea: We don’t do good things to make God love us—He already does! His love helps us do what’s right.

Week 7: Faithfulness

Bible Story: The Parable of the Faithful Servant (Matthew 24:45-51)

Main Idea: We can trust God because He is always faithful.

Thank you.

These lessons are just what I need to teach a Sunday School class with students whose ages range from 5 to 13. The lessons provide game suggestions that make learning fun, a Bible story/ lesson, printables for the varied ages and more. Thanks for making lesson prep easier and providing meaningful, quality lessons.

Fruit of the Spirit

I haven't started Fruit of the Spirit as I am still doing the I Am series. It could be a couple weeks yet before I can start as we don't have a steady attendance at our church.
