Bible, Bros & Brew

In this episode, we wrap up our epic journey through chapters 5 and 6 of the book of Galatians, with a focus on the critical principle of staying persistent in doing good. As all of us know, this is far easier said than done, because the battle to maintain a positive attitude and keep pressing forward when it looks like nothing is happening is always a challenging thing to do. Digging into Galatians 6, David & Phil explore the timeless encouragements and admonishments that can help believers stay strong, steady, and resilient in their walk with Christ.

In Galatians 6:6, there's a particular idea that sticks out like a sore thumb, not only because of what it overtly says, but also in terms of where it is placed in the context of Paul's line of thinking. The verse states that "If you are being taught the Christian message, you should share all the good things you have with your teacher." (Good News Bible). Since the beginning of the church age, the question of motive has always been attached to the idea of materially or financially supporting preachers of the gospel. So how should we approach this issue in the body of Christ? What is the proper, biblical protocol for providing financial support to ministers of the gospel? In this episode, David & Phil dig into the Word to discover what the scriptures actually say about this somewhat controversial topic.

In Galatians 6:4-5, Paul brings out the importance of taking the time to soberly examine ourselves and our own efforts instead of focusing on how we measure up in comparison to others. Building on this scriptural foundation, David & Phil discuss the dangers of getting into comparison and competitive jealousy, and they provide practical tips to help believers build an authentic, thriving fellowship and connection with God.

In the first verse of Galatians 6, Paul talks about how to handle situations where a fellow believer falls into some type of fault, error, or sin. We are instructed to engage in the process of restoration with that person, but it also warns us to do it with humility and meekness, because none of us are above temptation. In this latest installment of our series called "Walking in the Spirit", David, Phil, and Ryan discuss the importance of sticking to the scriptural prescription for restoring believers who get derailed by sin, and provide key insights to help bring about the end goal of genuine restoration.

In Galatians 5:22-23, Paul provides his now-famous list of the fruit of the spirit, the last of which is the indispensable weapon of temperance, also known as self-control. In one sense, self-control is a prerequisite to walking in all of the other fruits of the spirit, which is one of the reasons why it's such a powerful tool in our spiritual arsenal. In this latest installment of our series called "Walking in the Spirit", David & Phil explore what the scriptures have to say about self-control, and provide key insights to help believers understand how to practically apply this vital quality in their daily lives.
