In this sermon, Dr. Paul Spellman delves into the Methodist tradition of asking ordinands if they're "going on to perfection." He explains that this question isn't about achieving sinlessness, but rather about understanding our relationship with God on our faith journey. Dr. Spellman then explores the fruits of the Spirit listed in Galatians 5:22-23, describing them as recurring Markers along our spiritual path rather than checkboxes to complete.The sermon emphasizes that we all experience different seasons in our faith journey, with times of abundance and drought. Dr. Spellman provides examples of how people experience the Holy Spirit, including the dramatic Pentecost event (Acts 2:1-13), John Wesley's "strangely warmed" heart, and Paul's reflection on fighting the good fight (2 Timothy 4:7). He concludes by reassuring us that wherever we are in their faith journey, God has us right where He wants us to be.We invite you to connect with us: https://linktr.ee/faithmcrichmondtx
