Out With The Old
It is said that if you want to get rid of an old habit, you should replace it with a new one. That’s pretty much what Paul is telling us to do in Galatians 5. To wrap up this week’s study, we’re going to look back at the passages in Galatians and bring it all together.
Read Galatians Chapter 5

Something to Think About
God has blessed us with every spiritual blessing. There is no temptation for which he has not provided a way of escape. We would do well to commit to memory these 9 spiritual blessings so that when we are tempted by the flesh, we can turn to the Spirit trusting Him to show us the way which we should go.
