Walk This Way
“Way Too Demanding!”
Galatians 5:16-18

If you are following Jesus and you don’t feel free, you are doing something wrong!

Freedom is…
	Understanding what the Triune God does
	
Triune God
	God the Father loving us
	Jesus the Son dying for us
	Holy Spirit of God leading us

Freedom is…
	Understanding what the Triune God does
	Being motivated to follow God’s rules as instructions for love
	Seeking the happiness of others more than our own

If this is the Christian life, then it is too demanding for me!

The good news is we don’t have to do it alone!

Galatians 5:16-18

“Walk this way” or you…
	will be motivated to do whatever you want
	will love only to fill your own emptiness
	will live a cycle of sin, guilt, apology and trying harder 

Holy Spirit 
	Received at the moment we surrender to Jesus
	Occupies every area of life that we allow
	1 Corinthians 12:13; 2 Corinthians 1:22; Romans 8:9; Ephesians 1:13-14

Walking 
	Is about being led not following 
	Promises that you can overcome temptation
Creates a conflict in our soul
Eliminates consequences and emptiness

How do you “walk by the Spirit?”
Keep yourself tenaciously connected to Jesus 

What is drawing you away from Jesus?
What area of your life do you need to surrender to Jesus?
