Sermon Series: Living Out the Resurrection
Live by the Spirit
Let us not become conceited, competing against one another, envying one another. — Gal 5:26
- Live by the Spirit, or, Led by the Spirit of God
- a cosmic conflict – between flesh and spirit
- two worldviews
- two identities
- pursue the relational wholeness
- Apostle Paul’s challenge to us:
- never throw in the towel
- recognize the possibilities of having another identity (two different motivations)
- root in the identity of flesh (either pride or despair)
- root in the identity of spirit
- 3 words to the strategy to this challenge (to root in identity of Spirit)
- fight!
- relax! (cut yourself some slack)
- serve (one another)
