Podcasts about Galatians 5

Are you exhausted from trying to be a “better Christian,” follow all the rules, or just fix yourself? In this episode, Heather Creekmore dives into the age-old dilemma every believer faces: Am I supposed to be working on me—and if so, how much of it is up to me, and how much is God’s job? Inspired by the Crowder song “He’s Working on Me Still,” Heather explores the difference between self-powered striving and Spirit-powered transformation. Using honest stories, biblical wisdom (especially from Galatians 5), and practical illustrations, she helps Christian women understand why hustling for holiness leaves us tired—and how true freedom and growth comes when we move from “I’m working on me” to “He’s working on me.” In This Episode: Why spiritual striving, religious rule-following, and willpower can’t bring long-term freedom How diet culture mindsets sneak into our faith and make us rely on formulas instead of God What it means to step out of the driver’s seat and let God be in control (with relatable analogies and humor) The power of relationship over religion and why faith is more than just “doing all the things” How to recognize if your spiritual life is based on head knowledge, not heart transformation Practical steps to move from self-reliance to Spirit-dependence—including honest reflection questions and the importance of daily worship Key Takeaway:Stop striving for self-improvement and start leaning into God’s grace. When we let go of self-reliance and invite the Holy Spirit to lead, we experience true rest, freedom, and lasting spiritual growth.

Women's Bible Study | Fall 2025 | Week 6 Galatians 5_Christy Bicknell by First Evangelical Church

Paul has chased a serious concern through his entire letterSo it is not surprising that near the end, he would present an the ultimate challenge of the Christian life- in verse 16 Paul begins last segment of his central message• what follows in chapter 6 is his concluding remarks and directions- what we have in verses 16-25 is this chunk of scripture that tracks one theme• Paul makes this clear by marking where it begins and ends•it begins in verse 16, “walk by the Spirit,” and in ends in verse 25, “live by the Spirit”◦ in scripture, framing a passage this way is common, and is referred to as an envelope structure or closing circle◦ anyway, the literary structure reveals the heart of the passage–it's one key point

What if the greatest barrier to your breakthrough… is what you've grown too used to? In this soul-stirring message, Freedom From Familiar, Guest Pastor Darrison Tellez unpacks a powerful moment from Luke 4, where Jesus returns to His hometown—not to comfort the crowd, but to confront their complacency. Though He reads the scroll proclaiming liberty, healing, and freedom, the people reject Him. Why? Because what becomes familiar often becomes dismissed. With piercing insight, Pastor Darrison exposes how the sin of familiarity can rob us of reverence, how church can become a chore instead of a joy, and how the enemy distorts our perception—making captivity feel like liberty, and true liberty feel like a burden. Through scriptures like John 8:36 and Galatians 5:1, we're reminded: freedom is not a feeling—it's a promise. But you have to fight to keep it. You have to resist the pull of old patterns, daily deny yourself, and choose the altar—not just for others, but for you. This is your wake-up call to stop circling the same mountain and step boldly into the freedom Jesus died to give you. It's time to break the chains of the familiar—and walk in the power of the Spirit.

Main Idea: "Christian, walk by the Spirit."1. What it is to "walk by the Spirit"2. Why we are called to walk by the Spirit3. A word of encouragement

Speaker: Rob SteeleThe Bible contrasts the works of the flesh with the fruit of the Spirit in Galatians 5. While the flesh pulls us toward sin, things like envy, anger, impurity, and selfishness, the Spirit produces love, joy, peace, and so much more. We must recognize the battle within us, why we so often do what we don't want to do (Romans 7), and how the Spirit empowers us to live differently. The Christian life isn't about trying harder in our own strength; it's about walking by the Spirit and bearing fruit that points to Jesus.Need Prayer?

In week 6 of the One Another series through Galatians 5:13-14, Jono Spear shares that through Christ we are freed from the condemnation of the law and the power of sin, receiving the gospel promise by faith. That freedom is not for ourselves but to serve others in love, extending grace to neighbors in both our vocations and locations.

Send us a textGalatians 5Believers must stand firm in the freedom Christ has given them, not returning to the bondage of the Law. Paul warns that relying on the Law for righteousness separates them from grace. Instead, faith expressing itself through love is what truly matters. He cautions against false teachers and emphasizes that Christ has set them free. Paul explains that freedom is no excuse for sin but an opportunity to serve others in love. He contrasts the works of the flesh—such as immorality, hatred, and jealousy—with the fruit of the Spirit, which includes love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, and self-control. He encourages believers to walk by the Spirit, resisting sinful desires. Those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh and should live in step with the Spirit, producing godly character. If Christ has set us free, we must not return to anything that enslaves us. True freedom is not about doing whatever we want but about living by the Spirit and serving others in love. This chapter challenges us to examine whether we are led by the flesh or by the Spirit. The works of the flesh bring destruction, but the fruit of the Spirit produces godly character. Walking in the Spirit means surrendering to God, allowing Him to shape our thoughts, actions, and relationships. We must resist sinful desires and seek to grow in love, joy, peace, and self-control. As we live by the Spirit, we reflect Christ to the world and experience the fullness of life in Him. Gracious Lord, thank You for our liberty and security in Christ. Help us to stand firm and not fall back into anything that separates us from Your grace. Fill us with Your Spirit so that we may walk in love and resist the destructive and carnal deeds of the flesh. Produce in us the fruit of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Teach us to serve others humbly and live in step with the intentions of the Holy Spirit. We will crucify the flesh and live as blessed people who belong to Christ.  Thought Questions: -       Is it possible for a Christian to fall from grace? (v.4). What is the sin that causes this, and how do you prevent such a devastating mistake? -       When can your freedom in Christ become an opportunity for the flesh? How important is it to love others in everything we choose to do? -       How does the fruit of the spirit help you repel the deeds of the flesh? Choose one of each to illustrate how the light helps to repel the darkness.
