Bible, Bros & Brew

Murder is by far the most obvious "work of the flesh" listed in Galatians 5:19-21, so it can be easy to skim over it for that very reason. Interestingly enough, there's more to this word than meets the eye when you begin to study it in the Word of God. In this latest installment of our series titled "Walking in the Spirit", David and Phil take a closer look at the true root and nature of murder as defined by the scriptures. In addition, they also cover the last two items on the list of the works of the flesh: Drunkenness and revellings. So grab your bible and a cup of warm brew, and join us as we continue making our way through this eye-opening study.

In Galatians 5:19-21, Paul lays out a list of actions and spiritual conditions known as the "works of the flesh". While it's easy to just skim over these lists in the scriptures (Paul outlined several of them in the various letters he wrote), there's a danger in doing so, because being able to recognize these destructive behaviors when they try to rear their ugly head is essential to maintaining positive spiritual momentum. In this latest installment of our series called "Walking in the Spirit", David & Phil tackle some more items on this list, with a focus on explaining how detrimental they can be to your faith life, as well as how to keep them from derailing your spiritual progress.

Many of us are familiar with Paul's list of the fruit of the spirit in Galatians 5:22-23, but what often gets overlooked is that this list was in contrast to another list that preceded it--what Paul called the "works of the flesh". Without careful study, it can be easy to overlook the significance of this list, as it describes what human nature often defaults to without the influence of the Holy Spirit. In this latest installment of our series on "Walking in the Spirit", David & Phil explore this sobering list in Galatians 5 known as the "works of the flesh", and provide key insights to help believers recognize and resist these destructive activities.

Living a spirit-led life is not only possible for believers in Christ--it's the natural by-product of maintaining a consistent, vital fellowship with the Holy Spirit.

In this episode, David & Phil continue their journey into the scriptures to uncover more keys to avoiding the "spiritual land mines" that can hinder your progress and keep you from making your best effort to walk in the spirit.

Perhaps the most important skill you can develop in your Christian life is learning how to fellowship with and rely on the Holy Spirit. After all, if we're being honest, there is no such thing as "walking in the spirit" without receiving help and guidance from the Spirit of God. In this latest installment of our series titled "Walking in the Spirit", David & Phil explore various scriptures (albeit not in the most organized fashion) that describe not only who the Holy Spirit is, but also how important it is to develop a vital fellowship with Him in order to bear the fruit that is a by-product of His presence in our lives.

Though it may not initially sound like it, walking in the spirit is a surprisingly practical activity, especially when you keep this central truth in mind: Fruit is the natural product of seed.

In this latest installment of our series on walking in the spirit, David & Phil continue their deep dive discussion about the four types of soil described in the famous parable of the sower in Luke 8, Matthew 13 and Mark 4. So grab a cup of coffee and join us as we explore the practical steps you can take to see more fruit from God's Word in your everyday life.
