[251.72 --> 253.66] Be holy because I am holy.
[254.00 --> 255.10] And that's from Leviticus.
[255.10 --> 260.04] And I think it's appropriate that we land here at the end of our series on the Holy Spirit
[260.04 --> 263.20] as a fresh reminder of our belonging in Christ,
[263.48 --> 266.00] which is the life in the Holy Spirit
[266.00 --> 270.10] and how this is a calling to live a life,
[270.24 --> 273.88] to live out the life of Christ-like holiness.
[274.80 --> 275.92] Christ-like holiness.
[276.48 --> 277.92] And so if you have your Bibles with you,
[278.00 --> 279.86] if you can turn with me to Galatians 5
[279.86 --> 282.48] where it will be available for you on the screen.
[282.48 --> 287.44] We read from Galatians 5 verse 16
[287.44 --> 290.70] where Paul writes,
[291.38 --> 293.10] So I say, walk by the Spirit
[293.10 --> 296.38] and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.
[297.12 --> 298.96] For the flesh, or sinful nature,
[299.38 --> 302.22] the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit
[302.22 --> 304.52] and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh.
[305.10 --> 306.86] They are in conflict with each other
[306.86 --> 308.74] so that you are not to do whatever you want.
[309.62 --> 311.12] But if you are led by the Spirit,
[311.12 --> 312.90] you are not under the law.
[313.92 --> 315.62] The acts of the flesh are obvious.
[316.20 --> 318.52] Sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery,
[318.94 --> 320.34] idolatry and witchcraft,
[320.76 --> 323.22] hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage,
[323.62 --> 326.70] selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy,
[327.24 --> 329.00] drunkenness, orgies and the like.
[329.08 --> 331.16] I warn you, as I did before,
[331.38 --> 335.00] that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.
[335.00 --> 340.22] But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace,
[340.36 --> 343.18] forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
[343.58 --> 345.78] gentleness and self-control.
[346.82 --> 348.88] Against such things there is no law.
[349.42 --> 351.02] Those who belong to Christ Jesus
[351.02 --> 354.46] have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
[355.46 --> 357.46] Since we live by the Spirit then,
[357.82 --> 359.80] let us keep in step with the Spirit.
[360.22 --> 361.80] Let us not become conceited,
[361.80 --> 363.84] provoking and envying each other.
[364.52 --> 365.72] This is the word of the Lord.
[368.98 --> 372.46] And as I was doing research for this sermon this past week,
[372.92 --> 375.46] this proverb or this saying caught my attention.
[375.78 --> 377.12] And this is not a biblical proverb,
[377.34 --> 379.12] but I don't know if you've heard this before.
[380.00 --> 382.60] Sow a thought and you reap an action.
[383.46 --> 385.66] Sow an action and you reap a habit.
[386.72 --> 389.52] Sow a habit and you reap a character.
[389.52 --> 390.52] Sow a habit and you reap a habit.
[390.52 --> 391.42] So the saying goes.
[392.38 --> 394.94] Well, around the end of summer last year,
[395.12 --> 396.92] so we're talking about a year back,
[397.30 --> 400.96] and we were as a staff preparing for the kickoff barbecue,
[401.14 --> 402.98] which happens in early September.
[403.68 --> 406.32] And one of my responsibilities that I had in mind
[406.32 --> 407.52] was to buy cones.
[408.48 --> 410.70] You know, like those traffic cones, the orange color?
[410.70 --> 415.66] And so what it was meant to be was I would buy the cones
[415.66 --> 418.92] and we would set it up and put it in front of some of the parking spaces
[418.92 --> 422.38] in front of the green grass area there
[422.38 --> 425.04] so that we would have more room for maybe activities
[425.04 --> 428.24] or if we needed more room for more tables and chairs.
[428.48 --> 433.32] That was the purpose of me trying to go and find and buying cones.
[433.94 --> 435.38] Now, when I looked into it,
[435.50 --> 437.74] it was actually more expensive than I thought,
[437.74 --> 439.76] and it was a little bit harder to find.
[441.02 --> 444.44] Anyways, for a good two weeks, I want to say,
[444.70 --> 446.56] all I could think about were cones.
[447.12 --> 448.52] That's all that was in my head.
[448.90 --> 450.90] I would notice, you know, all the traffic cones,
[451.14 --> 453.06] and there are endless number of traffic cones
[453.06 --> 454.62] all over in construction sites,
[454.74 --> 455.80] and part of me was thinking,
[455.90 --> 457.48] can I just kind of like borrow a few of those
[457.48 --> 458.36] and then bring it back?
[459.42 --> 460.84] Wherever I drove, I would think of it.
[460.96 --> 463.40] And even like, you know, it was summertime,
[464.00 --> 464.72] lots of ice cream.
[464.72 --> 466.60] And whenever I saw ice cream cones even,
[466.74 --> 469.48] I would think, cone, oh, I still have to get cones.
[470.60 --> 472.90] And then I get on my phone or on my computer,
[473.00 --> 474.66] and one of the first things I would do is,
[475.26 --> 476.52] yes, look up cones.
[476.78 --> 479.08] Online, shopping, all my algorithm
[479.08 --> 480.72] were throwing me a whole bunch of cones.
[481.28 --> 482.78] Great deals you can have.
[482.78 --> 486.86] And then that even led me to regularly making stops
[486.86 --> 487.96] by the tool section,
[488.06 --> 489.28] which is usually where the cones are.
[489.80 --> 491.18] You know, I would go to Canadian Tire,
[491.36 --> 493.82] Rona, Home Depot, Costco, Superstore,
[493.92 --> 495.16] even Walmart, you name it,
[495.26 --> 497.04] and I would always look over my shoulder and go,
[497.12 --> 497.64] oh, is that a cone?
[498.40 --> 499.10] Oh, is that a cone?
[500.04 --> 501.72] And that's the habit that I got into.
[501.84 --> 504.16] That even continued after I bought the cones, by the way.
[504.22 --> 505.24] That was a little bit annoying.
[505.34 --> 506.06] I already had the cones.
[506.14 --> 508.24] I'm going, oh, oh, right, I already have it.
