Although our sinful nature will always be “prone” to wander from God, if we are willing to surrender to His Spirit, we do not have to be enslaved to the desires of the flesh. This is the thrust of Paul’s message in the texts for the week.

Scriptural Pursuit discussion this week helps to understand how this lifestyle can be a reality in your life.
