i just want to say i am so enjoying this first month together and i knew i loved our target it just feels like that love keeps growing and growing and i want to thank you for helping me and my family transition here and get settled in so i brought a couple pictures i thought ok first month let's get to know each other a little better so a couple of pictures and the first one right here this is two weeks ago and  yeah so that's that was that the court if you dobson that was the first official picture of the six of us and just so excited so that's one let's take a look at another one ok this is kind of a need story if you can see it above the drums but we were out walking was stuff arrived yesterday were all our stuff is here but it was about a month well last night was my first night on the bed in a month so that's kind of exciting but this is simply bare necessities you see my smartphone right behind me you see the five dollars chair from goodwill i mean that's that's it i was working off of the first month the kids arrived no furniture anything no toys so well this is wrestling and i haven't found pick up soccer yet the first month so cross training wrestling che's i mean we just kept us soccer balls in the house it was like it reminds me of the proverbs fifteen seventeen where it just says better is it in the house with only vegetables and love then if you have like a whole buffet in the fattened calf and i know for a vegetarian really going to throw a curve ball but the point is better sometimes in the home of it's just simple in love you don't need all that stuff and so we just had this cool bonding time but we're also grateful to be in our bed still so that was a little wrestling the big labor and this is my wife and i on the beach and a rare a kind  away day some time together if you look behind us the tide was rising we didn't notice that so we took a walk along the beach in then we were sprinting to get back to this spot and running through the water saying if your prayers and that's kind of an symbolic we've been kind of run in and fall in the lore and it's been an adventure but that's my sweet life lori and i'm so grateful for her so there's a few glimpses with our family as we get to know each other better and today we're wrapping up the series on the holy spirit for weeks and the reason that we're making this emphasis is that we would all know god no the father no the son no the holy spirit equally god and we worship god father son and holy spirit so you can turn in your bibles to the book  brought a bible excellent if you need a bible there's some in the hallway if you've got on your phone that works good too i'm not going to check who's you know doing facebook or scripture i'll just assume it's the bible but have a good time with that so let's go ahead and pray together father god we thank you for your word we think you for giving us the holy spirit we think you that you are good and we worship you and we asked to be filled with the spirit and would change us we would be more like you jesus will give you praise again we worship you god father son holy spirit we pray in your name lord amen there is a statement in scripture about the holy spirit in luke chapter three verse sixteen it is always caught my attention jesus will baptize you with the holy spirit and with fire in julian ten and is someone who lived in florida and moved up to boston and she wasn't quite prepared for the winters on the east coast in the snow kept coming down in layers and thickness and it covered her hondas civic instead of think about what was she going to do with her car covered in snow in she decided you know maybe today i'll just walk there's public transportation she did that for seven weeks her car was buried that little honda civic finally the sun came out the snow melted in she was back in her car she said it was a coon around her car with so many layers but it was nice to have her car back and i think about our own hearts and sometimes we get a little cold towards god don't we that fervor is gone and that five years gone and maybe we're a little disappointed  painful times and life in the holy spirit with this fire wants to come in and just melt that coldness to help us come alive again and i think of first us alone eons five nineteen when the bible says don't put out the spirit's fire don't have a heart heart a calloused heart towards god and god wants to melt that hard heart today so some people push back in this series and they say you know what's so great about being filled with the holy spirit i mean the holy spirit seems a little mysterious what's so great about being on fire for a god what kind of a difference does that make in my life i'm glad you asked let's take a look at the fruit of the spirit today the fruit of the holy spirit  five and starting in verse sixteen so i say live by the spirit and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature for the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the spirit and the spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature they are in conflict with each other so that you do not do what you want but if you are led by the spirit you are not
