Last night, our church had it annual Men/Boys Chili Feed. It was a great event and we had a great turn out. Our speakers were Jerry and Nate Humes. They did a great job pointing us to Galatians 5:22-23, 25-26 “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.” “If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.”
They encouraged us to think about INTENTIONAL ACTS OF RELATIONSHIP. In other words, we should look, in all of our relationships, for the fruit displayed (is it of the Spirit?), to whom was the fruit displayed, what was the intentional action pursued that led to that fruit, and what was the result.
This was a great challenge. The audio should be up soon on the church’s audio page.
