Life In The Spirit: Walk By The Spirit, 7/15/2018

Pastor Pete Hartwig

Sermon Notes

SLIDE:  Life in Spirit

 

SLIDE: Walk by the Spirit

 

World Cup. (football vs football)

ANYONE CAN PLAY!   Born a genetic.

 

 

SLIDE: John 3:5-7   Jesus and Spiritual Birth

Jesus answered, “No one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit.  You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You must be born again.’

 

The follower of Jesus… has a new “kind of life”.

 

This is not “added” on.

 

Greatest shift from OT to NT.  IN NOT ON

 

Life in the Spirit  VS Events

 

 

!!BIG SCREEN SLIDES. Galatians 5:16-26!!! 

16 So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. 17 For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

19 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.

 

SLIDE:  19 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.

 

Witchcraft = some go to get strength and direction

Selfish ambition

 

SLIDE: 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

 

Fruit must be tended, cultivated. 

 

SLIDE: FEET TO YOUR FAITH

 

SLIDE: Conviction

 

SLIDE: led by the Spirit  & Keep in step

 

The person and the direction

The person who Strengthens you!

 

SLIDE: Galatians 5:24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 

 

 

SLIDE: Communion

 

The hope!   My flesh has been crucified with Christ!

 

His death gives me life!
