Encouraging The Weak
Contributed on May 14, 2026
There is a continual battle with the flesh. When one does stumble in sin, missing the mark God has set, those who are strong have an obligation to respond in a manner consistent with the grace and love they have received in Christ.

The Flesh Verses The Spirit
Contributed on May 14, 2026
We are well aware that the flesh is strong. We deal with temptation on a consistent basis. We cannot walk in the Spirit while seeking to fulfill the lusts of the flesh.
The Flesh verses the Spirit Galatians 5: 19-26 In our previous study, Paul challenged believers to walk in the Spirit.

Grace, Not Of Works
Contributed on Apr 9, 2026
Paul knew the church must understand true doctrine, but if they failed to put the doctrine into practice, then they had done nothing more than received beneficial knowledge. It was necessary to allow the doctrine received to guide and shape one’s life.
Grace, not of Works Galatians 5: 2-12 We have discussed much up to this point in the Galatian letter. Paul has defended his apostleship and spoken at length about being justified by faith in Christ alone, apart from any works of the flesh. As was often his practice, following a thorough discourse ...read more
