Title: Winning The Way By Walking In The Spirit (3)
Series: Resolved
Author: Craig Smith
Text: Galatians 5:16-25
So I woke up this week with a chest cold. Anybody else? It is the season, right? Yeah. I'm frustrated. 'cause I was really looking forward to to this message and my, my voice, my energy level's not quite what I was expecting. Spirit's willing, flesh is weak. You know that phrase. That's how I'm feeling right now.
I guess it's okay. 'cause that's actually what I wanna talk to you about. I wanna talk to you about winning the war between the flesh and the spirit.

It's I'm going from here and I'm going to the temple, or I'm going from home, but I'm going to church. It's a very purposeful kind of walking, and so I just, I wonder, what do you think when Paul says, walk by the spir ...
