August 16, 2026 - Walk by the Spirit - Dr. Nate Millican
<p>Pastor Nate explores the profound call to <strong>"walk by the Spirit"</strong> based on Galatians 5:16. He emphasizes that Christian maturity is not found in temporary bursts of zeal, but is formed through <strong>daily habits, sustainable rhythms, and a "long walk of obedience"</strong> in the same direction. By sharing a humorous personal story about the consequences of not being observant, Nate illustrates how slowing down allows believers to be more <strong>attentive to God’s guidance</strong> and less prone to following the impulses of the flesh. The sermon breaks down who the Holy Spirit is as a personal guide and clarifies that every believer possesses the Spirit's <strong>supernatural enablement</strong> to win the "spiritual tug of war" against sin. Listeners are challenged to adopt a simple yet life-changing practice for their daily lives: <strong>pause, listen, and walk</strong> in step with Jesus.</p>
