    B.  I need to be on guard for the temptations of the flesh and the snares of the enemy.       

                                                                                                                             I Cor. 13:1-3

 

 

III.  As the Holy Spirit continues His work, I must know the importance of “We” not “Me”.   vs. 26

 

    A.  God intends us to be a united, Spirit-filled body of believers.                             Eph. 4:1-6
