In this message, Pastor Kenny Stetler begins a new series on The Fruit of the Spirit by exploring what it truly means to live under the Spirit’s control. Building on themes from Romans 8 and Galatians 5, this sermon highlights the contrast between walking in the flesh—which leads to death—and walking in the Spirit, which leads to life and produces lasting spiritual fruit.
Pastor Kenny reminds us that spiritual knowledge and emotional experiences are not substitutes for the visible, Spirit-formed character God desires. The message powerfully connects Paul's warning against legalism with his caution against spiritual complacency, showing that true holiness is not about striving in the flesh or trusting in works, but about surrendering daily to the Spirit’s leadership.
This sermon sets the stage for a series that will dig deep into the qualities the Spirit cultivates in the life of every surrendered believer. If you’ve ever wondered what the Spirit-filled life looks like — this is the place to start.
Listen again and be encouraged to walk in step with the Spirit.
