Victory App

1. May I please get 2 volunteers to Read Romans 7:21-25 and Galatians 5:17. Let’s pay attention on the reading because the Bible is teaching us that The Christian life is a battle between the flesh and the Spirit. The Spirit nature wants to do what is good in God’s eyes, and the carnal human nature wants to do what is wrong. In essence we can be our worst enemies.

2. May I please get 2 volunteers to read the following passages (Romans 8:5-8, and Galatians 5:16) Question: How can we have victory over our evil desires based on these passages?
3. Read Hebrews 10:14 and talk about the life long process of Sanctification (Sanctification is the process of obtaining victory over our sin.) Some victories happen overnight but most do not. (Key word in this verse is “being” = ongoing process)
   1. What are some things that God gave you complete victory over? How did that happen?
   2. What are some things that you have seen progress?
   3. We need to learn to celebrate the progress instead of being down because of the lack of perfection. We may not be where we wanted to be, but we need to celebrate that we are not where we used to be.
