Standing Firm

The Road to Men's Summit

The Spirit — Fruits of the Spirit

April 23, 2023

“The fruit of the Holy Spirit is love, joy, peace, goodness, kindness, faithfulness, long suffering, or patience and self-control.”

Galatians 5:22

You are really weird! I am really weird! 


Now stick with me. That might be confusing to hear, but the reality is the Holy Spirit is not weird.


I love how Pastor Robert often says that people are weird, but the Holy Spirit is not weird. The Holy Spirit is a person. The Holy Spirit is empowering. The Holy Spirit transforms our lives to walk in a manner worthy of the calling that God gives us for our lives here on Earth. The Holy Spirit convinces us...He convicts us, and He convinces us of a better way in life. The Holy Spirit is the Advocate, the Counselor and the Helper that Jesus spoke of in the Gospels that he would send to us.


As we step into Men’s Summit, as we lean into Men’s Summit, I want to encourage us all to be expecting great, good help, counsel and fruit from the Holy Spirit 


“The fruit of the Holy Spirit is love, joy, peace, goodness, kindness, faithfulness, long suffering, or patience and self-control.”
Galatians 5:22


Let's expect that fruit in our lives and around us at Men’s Summit. It is going to be an amazing time worshipping together. So, would you agree with me and pray? Even if you are a little bit weird, even if I am a little bit weird, would you agree with me in unity as we pray?


“Holy Spirit, we thank You that You have great and precious promises for us. You have fruit that is strengthening, that is anointing, that is good for us and we receive everything that You want to give to us as men for this year at Men’s Summit.


Amen.”
