In my experience, the one quality lacking in many Christians is humility. So many are stubborn, arrogant, have to be right about everything, quarrelsome, divisive, uncaring, lack sympathy or empathy, and seekers of money and pleasure.
Some have decided, wrongly, they don’t need the Church to have a relationship with God. The entire New Testament contradicts this yet many argue and fight against it. Jesus calls the Church His bride - How can the bride have a relationship independent of the groom? To suggest otherwise is to tell God you don’t need or want Him. You can’t separate Jesus from His Church - unless of course you’re not apart of it.
Where are the fruits of the Spirit?
This morning I challenge you to walk on the Spirit - “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control” Galatians 5:22-23
