Spirit Walking | NIL Week 9

This week in the NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) series, Pastor Rick Vannoy explores what it means to walk by the Spirit as described in Galatians 5. He explains how the Spirit leads us in daily acts of faith, contrasting the fruit of the Spirit with the works of the flesh. Pastor Rick challenges us to live intentionally, taking small, consistent steps that reflect God’s character and love.

If you’re looking to grow in your walk with Christ and rely more on the Spirit’s guidance, this message offers practical tools and biblical insights to help you live in the freedom and power of God’s Spirit.
