Episode 1 - What is the best offensive play when the sins of the flesh try to tackle you?

'Playmakers' Galatians Podcast

At the beginning of Galatians, Paul sets out his testimony as evidence of the truth of the gospel of Jesus and it's the same with us as disciples. The gospel of Jesus is true and our testimony of life is part of the evidence which illustrates that it's true. As Jesus says in Matthew chapter seven, "By their fruit, you will recognise them."

So as we think about the message of Galatians in this Playmakers podcast, we're talking to real people and thinking about how the gospel of Jesus has transformed, underpinned and built the lives of men and women of God, men, and women in our community. How do they live in freedom and guard that freedom in Christ?

These are not the testimonies of people who are far away. But people who sit next to us at Community Church Bishop's Stortford on Sundays and in small groups. Real people who show that Jesus is Lord in their daily lives.

In this episode of 'Playmakers' we talk about offense. That's in the American football sense of the word offense. In American football offense means attack. So we ask the question about what is the best form of attack you have when the sins of the flesh try to tackle you. We talk about eating, we talk about alcohol. We even talk a little bit about pornography.

We were talking to Mark and Christine who are an amazing couple from our church.

This is the first episode of a six part mini-series exploring the New Testament book of Galatians. Over the course of the series we will discuss how, as followers of Jesus Christ, we carry the ball of grace, walk by the Spirit and navigate not gratifying the desires of the flesh.
