MESSAGE NOTES: “Killing the Fruit Killer”
Series, “Fruitful,” Message 4
Brett Ferguson, GPC Member

Romans John 15:4-5

Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me. 5 I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing.

Abiding is a battle.

The Reality of the flesh and the Spirit:

• Good news: you have a new nature

• Bad news: you have “flesh”
  
  Flesh is: unredeemed humanness

• The reality is: there war within you
  
  

The Power of the flesh and the Spirit:

We are freed from the penalty and power of the flesh, but not its presence.

The Direction of the flesh and the Spirit

• Spirit always leads to: life and peace

• Flesh always leads to: death

  Romans 8:6-8
  
  Romans 8:9-13-God's Power is helping you abide.

  
  
  

Abiding is a battle but we don’t fight alone.

Fighting the flesh:
- Renew your mind
- Starve your flesh
- Confess your sins

How many times does the word "mind" comes up in the Bible?

Romans 13:4 or 14

What do you need to do to fight the flesh?

Summer 2024

            Summer 2024 is my 1st summer that I've had off since college. It will be a very different one for me because I am catching up on all the things I've missed by not having summers off.

Here is what happened during the summer:

         -Amber fell at her school hurting her leg. Can't walk on it most of the time. Started her PT.

        -Tornado in NWA

        - Mom got bite by a copperhead.

        -had gallbladder surgery.

        -Wes and family came to visit.

        -went on a summer vacation to Hot Springs.

 Here is what I did:

        -Took time to sort through my clothes

        -cleaned of the couch

        -helped clean up after And school ended early because of the tornado.

        -cleaned out my bedroom (sort of)

        -went home for a week to help mom and Amber since both were hurt.

        -switched banks.

        -healed from gallbladder surgery for about 2 weeks.

         -went and spent the 4th of July in MO to see Wes and the family.

         -Got ready for a 2 week vacation.
