Part of the Kingdom Fruitfulness series, preached at a Sunday Morning service

1. Quench not the Holy Spirit
1 Thessalonians 5:19-22 - Do not quench the Spirit. 20 Do not despise prophecies, 21 but test everything; hold fast what is good.
22 Abstain from every form of evil.
Quench – to extinguish, (of fire or things of fire) to suppress, stifle divine influence

2. Grieve not the Holy Spirit
Ephesians 4:30-32 - And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.
Grieve = to make sorrowful, to affect with sadness, cause grief, to throw into sorrow, to offend, to make one uneasy
RELATIONSHIP WITHOUT FELLOWSHIP

3. Resist not the Holy Spirit
Acts 7:51“You stiff-necked people, uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Spirit. As your fathers did, so do you. 52 Which of the prophets did your fathers not persecute? And they killed those who announced beforehand the coming of the Righteous One, whom you have now betrayed and murdered, 53 you who received the law as delivered by angels and did not keep it.”

Resist – to be adverse, oppose, strive against, run against
those who resist the Holy Spirit persecute the prophets
