Reborn to Flourish, Part 8: Love
The message, "Reborn to Flourish, Part 8: Love" was delivered on location at 60 Bailey Ave., Manchester, NH, for First Fruits Ministries Sabbath celebration on 8/15/2026.
"Reborn to Flourish" is an exposition of Proverbs 6:16-19—a passage that identifies seven things opposed to God's heart. At the center of the passage is the love God has for His children and His call for us to return to Him. The series will work backward through the list, identifying discord as a fruit that comes forth from a heart rooted in pride and other fleshly concerns. It will then emphasize God's transformational love that will revitalize the root and send forth tender branches and bountiful fruit.
Topics covered in Part 8: The premise behind this whole series has been the understanding that "God is love," and because of this God hates whatever it is that separates the people He loves from Him and one another. He desires us to be with Him and one another, not just now, but into eternity. This is the very reason He sent His Son Yeshua to die on our behalf; He humbled Himself so that our sins could be forgiven, and through His act of perfect love He was also lifted up in victory over sin and death. He now calls each of us to join Him, because He is preparing a place for us in His Kingdom. Through Yeshua’s victory, God is calling each of us to surrender to the workings of His love in us, so He can rebuild us by His Holy Spirit into the men and women He has created us to be—lovingly obedient to His commandments that bring the blessings of peace and joy. We become good trees bearing good fruit when we submit to God in His goodness and resist the wicked one and all of his devices. We are reborn to flourish, starting off as tender shoots when we cut off the wickedness of our former lives. We can only do this when we root ourselves in humility. The previous sermon in the series laid the groundwork for today. When we surrender ourselves to God’s will, replacing pride with humility at the root, we make the ground ready for the LORD to do His work in us, which is His love that multiplies.
