The Daily Battle

Hey Bridge Family, 

I ended yesterday's sermon (Galatians 5:16-24) with a challenge that walking in the Spirit involves an internal, daily crucifixion of our sinful desires, and a daily heart adoration of Christ. It is Monday and time to engage and do battle. 

Here are some questions to help. 

1. Which of the works of the sinful nature listed yesterday do you see in your own life?
2. What are the false beliefs behind the desires that cause you to behave in these ways?
3. What are the idols that need identifying and dismantling in your own life?
4. How will you preach the gospel of Jesus to yourself to undermine these desires and strangle sin at the motivational level? How does this lead to change at the behavioral level? 
5. Examine yourself. How can you see the fruit of the Spirit growing in your own life? 

Christ is all.
