Thank you, Greenhouse Builders, for your prayer, promotion, and provision for the mission of Greenhouse Christian Co-School. During this second month of 2022 we invite you to pray through Galatians 5:22-26.
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking, and envying each other.”
Invite God’s help and guidance in asking how you can build into His Kingdom and into the Greenhouse community during this winter season. As you listen for His voice, reflect on John 15:8 “When you produce much fruit, you are my true disciples. This brings great glory to my Father.” Ask the Holy Spirit to help produce fruit that brings glory to the Father. Which part of the fruit of the Spirit comes to mind as you pray? In what ways do you believe the Spirit leading you to bear fruit for God’s glory?
What does it mean to “keep in Step with the Spirit” as a Greenhouse Builder? Throughout February, ask God to help you walk in step with His Spirit. How can you lovingly invite others to walk in step with the Spirit alongside you this month? What might that look like?
As you ponder how to “not become conceited, provoking, and envying each other,” consider specifically what we can do instead. (1 Corinthians 13 has some great suggestions!) As we collectively keep in step with the Spirit of God, Greenhouse will indeed become a community marked by integrity, humility and love.
