It’s been an exciting journey, but we’ve reached the end of Galatians! In this message, Pastor Kenny rounds out the final chapter with Paul’s closing thoughts on the themes of circumcision, adherence to the law, and living in the flesh vs. the Spirit.
Today, Pastor Kenny returns to begin the final chapter of Galatians, linking our previous discussion of the fruit of the Spirit to what it looks like to actually live in the Spirit. We are neither to ignore nor harp on the sins of our brother; rather, those who live in the Spirit should restore their brother with gentleness, without being tempted themselves, carrying each other’s burdens.
Join us as we continue in our series on the book of Galatians. Today, Phil Merki wraps up the fifth chapter with a discussion of the fruit of the Spirit, contrasting it with the list of “acts of the flesh” from last week’s passage.
Welcome to Bridgeway! While Pastor Kenny is away in Albania, Students Pastor Jeremiah Brown brings us the continuation of our Galatians series. Today we look at Paul’s encouragement to use our freedom in Christ to walk in the Spirit, which leads us to love our neighbors and avoid the pitfalls of fleshly desires, without continued enslavement to the law.
Today in the book of Galatians, we read and discuss Paul’s continued pleas for the the church there to ignore outside influences who would have them enslaved to the Jewish law (using the example of circumcision), but rather to take full advantage of the freedom that is theirs in Christ Jesus.
