Pastor Brent Lenentine explores Galatians 5:13-18 and the internal conflict between the flesh and the spirit, framing the Christian life as a “battle in our walk.” He explains that while believers are granted spiritual liberty through the love of Christ, they must not use this freedom to indulge selfish desires, but rather to serve others and fulfill the law through love. Pastor Lenentine emphasizes that victory in this struggle requires intentionality, specifically through the spiritual disciplines of daily Bible reading, prayer, and witnessing to strengthen the “spirit” over the “flesh.” Ultimately, Lenentine provides a pastoral challenge for the new year, urging the listener to establish godly habits and yield to the Holy Spirit’s guidance to find true peace and life.
