Pastor Mike focuses on the theme of being “Set Apart by God, to God, and for God.” It reminds us that being set apart doesn’t come from our own efforts but from God’s grace and purpose in our lives. We grow in holiness not by trying harder, but by trusting in Him and relying on His strength, especially when life is hard or temptation comes.

Pastor Mike talks about the importance of listening to the Holy Spirit and not ignoring or pushing Him aside. When we stay sensitive to His voice, He guides us, convicts us of sin, and helps us grow closer to God. In the end, the message points us back to a deeper relationship with the Holy Spirit, who changes us and gives us power as we wait for Jesus to return.

Takeaways:

• We must fully trust God, because He is the one who grows us and sets us apart.
• The Holy Spirit leads us, convicts us of sin, and draws us closer to God.
• Being “set apart” means God has chosen us for His purposes, and He is still working in us day by day.
• We need to be careful not to quench the Spirit, because that can block our growth and distance us from God.
• Staying open to the Spirit’s leading helps us build a deeper faith.
• God is faithful and will finish the work He started in us.
