Having Begun by the Spirit…

In this message, Pastor Steve walks through Paul’s challenge to the Galatian church and exposes one of the greatest dangers believers face, not open rebellion, but slowly drifting from dependence on the Holy Spirit into reliance on self-effort. While salvation begins by grace through faith, many believers slowly fall back into striving, performance, and spiritual self-reliance, trying to sustain through the flesh what only the Spirit can produce. 

This message reminds us that the Christian life was never meant to be carried by human strength, discipline, or religious performance. The same Spirit who saves, seals, and transforms believers is the One who continues to sustain and sanctify us. True spiritual growth does not come through striving harder, but through deeper surrender, continual dependence, and walking daily by the Spirit of God.
