Sons are led by the Spirit - The New Man Week 9

Could it be that we have been thinking about what it means to be led by the Spirit, the wrong way?  Why does the scripture link the experience of being led by the Spirit to sonship?   And for that matter, what does sonship actually mean in this text?    The scripture is always powerful and full of life, and in this teaching we dive into this truth about being led by the Spirit, so that we can more deeply understand The New Man, and walk in it with freedom.

Recap Points

1. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
