Crucify the Flesh, Bear the Fruit: Walking in the Spirit (Galatians 5:19–25)


Listen Later

In this powerful continuation of the Galatians series, Bro. Puckett walks us through Galatians 5:19–25, contrasting the works of the flesh with the fruit of the Spirit.

He outlines the battle every believer faces:

  • The flesh produces sin—lust, pride, division, and indulgence

  • The Spirit produces fruit—love, joy, peace, patience, and more

  • The two are contrary, and only one can lead

Bro. Puckett emphasizes that walking in the Spirit isn’t mystical—it’s about surrender, control, and daily obedience. He challenges us to crucify the flesh with its affections and lusts, and to walk in the Spirit with intentionality and humility.

He also addresses:

  • Assurance of salvation through persuasion and proof

  • The danger of feeding the flesh and doubting your standing

  • How to cultivate spiritual fruit through submission and Scripture meditation
