Gratify or Glory? How to Walk by the Spirit

Good morning, Wake Up fam! ☕️ It’s Pastor Scot and Pastor Jason, and we’re diving into Galatians 5:16: “Walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.”
Let’s be real: sin can feel good for a moment… and still wreck your life. God’s way isn’t anti-joy, it’s pro-fulfillment. We’ll show how Spirit-led living produces deeper, longer-lasting joy than impulse-driven choices ever can (see also Romans 8).

What’s inside today:

Gratification vs. Fulfillment: why “right now” often costs “what matters most”

Real-life swaps: lashing out → gentleness; gossip → encouragement; laziness → purpose

Love + boundaries: God designed desire; He also designed the context (marriage) for flourishing

Training your want-to: resetting appetites by renewing your mind

Acts 10 snapshot: when you follow the Holy Spirit’s nudge, He shows up and shows off

Plus: Partner Friday shout-outs 🎉, a laugh or two (carrot cake broccoli?!), and prayer for a Spirit-led week.
