Ruth

Ruth 1:15-

behold - in Hebrew, important word

the Lord is recalibrating our default

WHAT AM I WALKING AFTER - WHAT AM I PURSUING?

BE LED BY THE SPIRIT . . . THE POINT IS NOT THE DESTINATION . . .

FOLLOW THE SPIRIT, NOT THE FLESH!

Inductive - pizza - 1 piece at a time

Deductive - whole pizza cut into slices

we are to be preaching/teaching so that people hear the voice of God, are led by the Spirit of God.

The Threshing Floor is the place of separation from flesh and spirit -

WHAT AM I FOLLOWING? FLESH OR SPIRIT? AM I GOING BACK TO MY DEFAULT? (FLESH?)

Am I a Disciple of Christ? Am I being led by the Spirit?

Help people to come to their own conclusions. What are they buying into? Help them buy into . . .

Note: The Fruit of the Spirit (not 9 fruits) but 3 categories of 3 each.

Love, Joy, Peace

which leads to the fruits of patience, kindness, and goodness

and finally faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control

Prayer - Key

People will know Christ through us and who we are.

Jesus was a man that followed the Spirit of God - his life pattern

from the wilderness (victory of Satan) on . . . from that point forward.
