God gave us human bodies that give us a specific form of life. What can you tell specifically about someone from their body?
What can you tell about people from their bodies/ faces ? • 1. What sort of emotions do you show on your face? • With your body/ posture? • 2. Are you someone who likes to express how you feel by body language? • **Do our bodies “tell the truth” of how we feel more truthfully than our words?
Your body shows up your moods and feelings. But there is a deeper layer to our personality – your spirit. Your body also expresses your spirit. There are 2 kinds of “spirit” that we live by: Label the photos – spirit of God or spirit of flesh How could you tell the difference between a person ruled by spirit and a person ruled by flesh? Who do you admire? Are they a person of the Spirit or of the flesh? Give examples of the Spirit they live by. (if you can’t think of anyone, discuss Rihanna, Nelson Mandela, Bill Gates/ Steve Jobs, Justin Bieber, Andy Murray, Maloula, Gandhi) **Which is it better to be? Why? Spirit of flesh You live by the desires of your body - greed, lust, envy, anger, lazy, demanding, selfish. Spirit of God You live by the desires of the Spirit of God - generous, truthful, self-controlled, patient, peaceful, kind, responsible, selfless.
”What I say is this: let the Spirit direct your lives, and you will not satisfy the desires of the human nature. 17 For what our human nature wants is opposed to what the Spirit wants. But the Spirit produces love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, humility, and self-control. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have put to death their human nature with all its passions and desires.” Galatians 5:22-23 Read the text. Draw the battle between Spirit of God, and Spirit of the Flesh. Show what sort of qualities “grow” on each side (“Fruits of the Spirit”) **Which do you find hardest? Which desires battle in you?
