14 Freedom in Christ Not Legalism Galatians 5’1–6
AM 08 March 2026 Introduction Freedom is one of the most precious words in the Christian vocabulary—and one of the most misunderstood. Every heart longs for it. The world cries for freedom from oppression, from guilt, from authority. But the Bible tells us that true freedom is not found in casting off all restraint; it is found only in belonging to Jesus Christ. That is the burden of Paul’s letter to the Galatians. They had begun well—rejoicing in the gospel…

11 ADOPTION through the Son – Galatians 4:1-7
AM 01 February 2026 11 Adoption through the Son Galatians 4’1–7 Introduction – From Bondage to Belovedness Every person longs to belong, to be known, loved, and accepted. We often seek that security in family, work, the approval of others, or even in our religious performance. But apart from Christ, all such striving leaves us living like servants rather than sons, trying to earn what can only be given by grace. The Apostle Paul writes to the Galatians because they…
10 Sons of God Through Faith – Galatians 3:23-29
25 January 2026 (We had cancelled services due to an ice storm; this is pulled from a “ZoomCast” of the service). Brothers and sisters in Christ, when Paul writes to the Galatians, he is speaking to people who were being tempted to go backward—to leave the freedom of the gospel and to return to the slavery of the Law. False teachers had crept in, insisting that faith in Christ was not enough. To be truly a child of God, they…

AM 18 January 2026 09 The Purpose of the Law Galatians 3’15–22 Sunday AM, 18 Jan 2026 Introduction Brothers and sisters, one of the deepest questions of the Christian life is this: How do God’s promise and God’s Law fit together? On the one hand, the Bible tells us that salvation is a free gift—rooted in God’s promise, given by His grace, received through faith. From Abraham onward, God pledged blessing to His people, not because they earned it, but…
