Fruit...

About thirteen years ago, God brought Dave and Karen Robinson to Leigh-Ann and me. Their friendship has changed our lives and ministry…in a really good way 😊.

We’ve served in the city together, listening to firsthand stories about injustice and pain. We have served in Budapest sharing the Gospel with school teachers, students, and others struggling to understand life and feel love. We have also traveled to the Philippines to learn from pastors and ministry leaders who have planted hundreds of churches and led thousands to faith in Jesus.

Such great memories.
Dave has made me laugh hard….like really hard…he makes ministry fun. He has also taught me much about relationships and leadership….and the value of a really good “clicker” 😊. Dave has even given me a special appreciation for Bob Dylon. At the same time, we have also had a few challenging conversations. I’m so thankful for this friendship.

This morning I was reminded again of the significant influence Dave has had on my life. We had a New Life CityChurch elder team meeting. Dave opened us up with a few verses to help us in our prayer life. He asked us to share a name or a characteristic that we think of when we consider Jesus.

He then asked us to pray with this descriptor in mind.

God used this practical teaching to lift my heart and be reminded that Jesus is the King of Kings. No matter what is happening around me, I can trust Jesus.  

Selah!

Through a friendship that is ready to enter its teenage years, I have watched Dave and Karen bear burdens, serve selflessly and pour themselves into Leigh-Ann and me and so many others.

It’s clear, they bear the fruit of the Spirit.

With this in mind, I am really excited for Pastor Dave to preach this Sunday as we continue our sermon series, Deep Faith in the Gospel of Grace, He will share a sermon from Galatians 5:16-26 entitled, “Joining the Spirits fight against the Flesh.”

I have no doubt Dave’s ministry will encourage your soul and strengthen your faith.

I hope to see you this Sunday at 8:00, 9:15 (Full KidCity available), or 10:45 am, or you can watch the Livestream on YouTube (Like and Subscribe) or Facebook at 9:15 am. Additionally, we are also publishing our sermons on Spotify.

Have a great weekend and stay cool,
Troy
