Galatians #29: The Corrupt Heart Delights in The Works of the Flesh

The sermon examines the conflict between the sinful nature and the Holy Spirit through an exposition of Galatians 5:19-21. It categorizes the works of the flesh into sexual, religious, social, and self-indulgent sins to provide a stark contrast with the fruit of the Spirit. The preacher emphasizes that the law cannot make believers holy but only reveals sin, while the Holy Spirit applies Christ's work to transform lives from within. Victory over these sinful desires is presented as an absolute certainty for those who walk in communion with the Spirit rather than relying on their own strength. The message concludes by warning that persistent unrepentant practice of these works indicates a lack of saving faith, while offering encouragement to those who struggle but look to Christ for sanctification.
