Summary

Nate reminded us that we’re all being led by something, and following the flesh only leads to anxiety, chaos, and ultimately destruction. But when we choose to walk with the Spirit, He grows real fruit in us, love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Real change doesn’t happen overnight, but through daily steps of surrender as God builds roots that eventually produce fruit.


The Spirit and the flesh are in conflict

Acts of the flesh lead to death

Walking with the spirit leads to fruit


Life Group Discussion:

Where do you most feel the “tug-of-war” between what your flesh wants and what the Spirit wants?

When you look at the list of “acts of the flesh,” which ones tend to show up in your life, and how do they impact you?

Nate said spiritual growth is often slow, like the bamboo tree building roots. Where do you think God might be growing “roots” in you right now?

Well, last year, me and my high school friends, we went on a trip to London. We had put together

0:05.1

a couple of things to do each day. And on this one specific day while we were there, we were going

0:09.6

to go north of London to watch a soccer game. And then we had to travel back to central London

0:14.9

to catch a dinner reservation. We didn't have a whole lot of time in between the soccer game

0:20.0

and the dinner reservation. Luckily for us, though whole lot of time in between the soccer game and the dinner

0:21.0

reservation. Luckily for us, though, one of the guys on this trip knew London well. He had,

0:27.5

he's really done awesome at his business. He's really ascended the rank. So he travels often for

0:32.9

business, even specifically to London. So we just told him, hey, you're in charge of getting us around.

0:38.1

Like, you just tell us where to go and we will do it. So we were leaving this soccer game and had to go to

0:44.6

the tube, the subway system in London. We just got on whichever train he told us to get on.

0:51.2

And then it pulled forward for a stop. It pulled forward for another stop. Then all of a sudden I noticed my friend who was leading us, he was looking at his phone, and then he was looking at the map in the subway, looking down at his phone. And then he eventually just goes, guys, I think I put us on the wrong one. Which is not the end of the world. It's like that, that's fine. Like we don't have a whole lot of time to waste, but that's totally okay. Let's just go find

1:14.8

the next one. So he said, as soon as we get off on this next stop, we're going to have to

1:19.2

run as fast as we can to make sure that we make it to the next train. So the door's open, we run to the next train we're on it we're all happily talking and then i realize that he's looking

1:29.0

at his phone again he's looking at the map again and he goes to run to the next train, we're on it, we're all happily talking, and then I realize

1:28.6

that he's looking at his phone again, he's looking at the map again, and he goes, guys, we're on the wrong train again. And so at this point, we're like, okay, we got to collect our thoughts here, like let's make sure that we have a good plan. So we get off the train, none of us have our phones turned on because we don't want to pay for it overseas and we're like underneath the

1:46.5

ground. So he's the only one who could

1:48.1

really lead us in this moment. So he's really making sure that he knows where we're going. And he says,

1:53.8

okay, I finally found the train force. Let's walk on over to it. The door is open. We go on

1:59.4

and right before the doors are about to close.

2:03.4

He goes, not this one, not this one, not this one. I'm standing right with him. We just go like

2:09.1

this. We hop off. As we do, the doors shut. Our four other friends are pressed up against

2:16.3

the window.
