Reflections: September 13, 2009
This week's "Reflection" by Jeff Taylor, Pastor of Teaching & Worship
I am really excited about this Get Gorgeous series. I think it is going to help all of us have a better understanding of the powerful fruit that God desires to produce in all of us, and the massive impact that will have on our lives. I believe people in our church are going to be empowered with the understanding that life is not just about what is on the outside, but that there is so much more that Christ wants to develop in all of us that starts on the inside.
For those of you who were here on Sunday, thank you for casting your vote and being a part of the direction that this series is going to take. It was a lot of fun tallying up the results and seeing what fruit people felt was most lacking in their lives. As I said on Sunday, next week we will start with fruit #5 and work our way up to the #1 most lacking fruit of the Spirit (according to the voting). But if you want to know the results of the
voting, you are going to have to come each week because we are not going to share them before the teaching is revealed each week. Ha Ha!
You also had a challenge thrown at you, so have you memorized the 9 fruits of the Spirit listed in Galatians 5 yet? I know that the verses that I have committed to memory have always played a huge role in how I am able to live in the truth of what God says about who I am, and who He wants to be in and through me. As we go through each day bombarded by the images and messages that say we are not good enough, or that the only stuff that really matters is the external stuff, it is important that we remember what God says He wants to produce in us. Have a great week reading through Galatians 5 and begin now asking God to produce the fruit of His Spirit in your life. See ya next week...Gorgeous
