Where the Spirit of the Lord Is Pt 3

This message continues a series on “Where the Spirit of the Lord Is” centering on Galatians 5 and what it looks like to walk in the Spirit rather than live under the control of the flesh. Pastor Bruce unpacks Paul’s warning that the flesh wars against the Spirit and contrasts that struggle with the fruit the Spirit produces—love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, goodness, faithfulness, meekness, and self-control. Through honest, everyday stories—from overseeing a church build and confronting the urge for retaliation, to coaching frustrations and the habits that betray us—he shows how spiritual disciplines like prayer, Scripture reading, worship, and fasting help retrain our desires and bring our actions into alignment with Christ.

This sermon is both pastoral and practical: you’ll hear candid moments of temptation and failure, clear biblical teaching from Galatians, and simple steps for letting the Spirit govern your tongue, eyes, and choices. If you’re wrestling with anger, addiction, gossip, or inconsistency in your walk with God, these reflections aim to encourage you toward the humility and reliance on the Holy Spirit that reshape character and restore relationships.
