INTRO: Why is “isolation” in prison a punishment?

SOURCE OF LIFE
How are we inherently designed for connection? Both with our Maker and our neighbors?

EVIDENCE OF WHAT?
How do we resist God’s good design for us?

“THERE IS A STREAM!”
How is the ‘fruit of the Spirit’ not chiefly ethical guidelines?

YOU CAN PRAY WITH US …

1. Worship the LORD as the Giver of life! Praise Him, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, for His Presence, the goodness of His commands, His power, and His leadership (see Psalm 23, the LORD is a Shepherd who leads us).
2. How are you spiritually barren, fractured relationally, or morally reckless? Confess your willfulness to Jesus, asking Him to forgive you and to change your heart to truly repent and trust in Him.
3. Give thanks to Jesus for coming to rescue us. Thank Him for obeying His Father about a tree and its fruit (the Cross and our redemption) so that we could be saved for our disobedience about a tree and its fruit (the Garden and our sin).
4. Who do you know that shows very little fruit of the Holy Spirit (and it may be you)? Pray for them, asking the Lord to help them turn from their pride and unbelief to trust Jesus to give them life.
5. Ask the Holy Spirit to bear in you His fruit of love. Pray for the Spirit’s help in responding faithfully to His Presence, Authority, Power, and Direction, especially by the means He has given us to help you grow.

The Facilitator is a study tool designed to help you engage with the weekly sermon through the five elements we incorporate in our Community Groups; Get Acquainted & Sharing, Sermon Study, Mission, Worship and Prayer. This tool will be made available Monday morning to give us the opportunity to look back at what we heard on Sunday.
