ReNEWed YEAR: WALK WITH ME

·57 min·5 clips

Pastor Mark explains how learning to walk physically mirrors the step-by-step progression of walking with God.

This episode is a sermon from Emmanuel Church's E-Media podcast, part of the 'ReNEWed YEAR' series. Pastor Mark preaches on Galatians chapter 5, starting with verses about freedom in Christ and serving in love. He introduces the concept of walking with God as a progressive journey, comparing it to teaching a child to walk through stages like crawling and standing. The sermon delves into theological terms like justification and sanctification, explaining sanctification as the ongoing purification of the soul. Pastor Mark discusses how sanctification occurs through God's revelation, personal successes, and suffering. He contrasts the acts of the sinful nature, listing sensual, superstitious, and social sins, with the fruit of the Spirit, such as love and peace. The pastor addresses the deceitfulness of sin and how people often overlook their own faults while judging others. He emphasizes the importance of being led by the Spirit rather than the flesh, using examples like post-church road rage to illustrate the internal conflict. The sermon highlights the need to focus on the fruit of the Spirit to overcome this battle. Pastor Mark explains that producing spiritual fruit requires the right climate, like worship and community, and connection to God. He references scriptures from Matthew, John, Romans, and Hebrews to support his points. The message concludes with a call to surrender to the Holy Spirit for daily guidance and transformation.
