Freedom vs. Flesh

MESSAGE - Pastor Dale Thiele
Galatians: The Gospel of Freedom
Freedom vs. Flesh

  • The Call to Freedom Fulfilled
  • How Can We Live in Freedom?
  • Sanctified Through Struggle

Questions for Further Study or Group Discussion:

  1. Read Galatians 5:13-18. How does love flow from our freedom in Christ? After spending so much time arguing that we are not under law, why does Paul summarize the whole law and command us to keep it?
  2. Why would someone “seeking to be justified by law” “bite and devour” others? Why does law-keeping not free us from sin?
  3. How does the Spirit enable and empower freedom in Christ?
  4. Explain what the struggle in verse 17 looks like in your life. Compare with Romans 7:22-23. How does this struggle sanctify you?

Memory Verse of the Week:
Galatians 5:16 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. (ESV)
