Called to live a life led by the Spirit rather than by the flesh. Drawing from Galatians 5, Pastor Ray emphasizes the freedom believers have in Christ while cautioning against using that freedom selfishly. He encourages the congregation to serve one another through love, fulfilling the law by loving one's neighbor as oneself. Pastor Ray explains that walking in the Spirit requires surrendering to God's will and allowing the Holy Spirit to guide every step, which manifests in a life producing the fruit of the Spirit.

The sermon further emphasizes the transformation that occurs when a believer genuinely seeks to live a life led by the Spirit. Pastor Ray shares the struggles of aligning one's life with the character of Christ and highlights the importance of perseverance in faith. The relationship between continuous growth in the Spirit and bearing spiritual fruit is illustrated with a story about nurturing a plant to fruition. Pastor Ray challenges the church to deeply commit to their personal walk with God, turning and embracing the Spirit's direction, which allows them to experience God's blessings and see Christ's character reflected in their lives.
