Stop Striving, Start YIELDING – How Real Spiritual Growth Happens

In this brief sermon, the speaker asserts that genuine spiritual growth occurs when believers cease striving for self‑driven results and instead "yield" to the Holy Spirit. He explains the word "yield" through two everyday metaphors: yielding the right‑of‑way in traffic and yielding a harvest in a garden. By surrendering control to the Holy Spirit—just as a driver yields to oncoming traffic or a farmer yields a crop—the believer allows the Spirit to produce fruit in their life, resulting in a harvest of spiritual growth.
