Sermons About Galatians
Freedom-Faith In Partnership with God - Galatians #12
What makes the Christian faith like no other? The good news of God’s grace is the bold claim that we are accepted by God not because we “follow the rules” or “fit the mold” but because Jesus gave his own life to rescue us. But many of us are still trying to earn God’s love with our performance rather than living in the freedom that Jesus has provided for us. In Galatians, Paul warns against the danger of religious systems that value people on grounds of accomplishment or status or cultural agreement. These things lock away our freedom in the futility of legalism, moral superiority and cultural arrogance. Focusing on either the racial/ethnic/cultural superiority or the moral successes of good works denies the gospel and divides Jesus’ followers. Join us as we explore how God offers us true freedom in Jesus and how the freedom of Christ transforms our hearts, our minds and lives.

The Gospel and the Law
The Bible is clear God accepts us solely on faith, apart from our performance. But what part do God's commands (do’s), prohibitions (do not’s), and expectations (should do’s) play in God's plan of redemption and the lives of Christians? That is the question we'll address in this week's message.

Living by Faith
For many Christians, the role of faith in the process of growth and maturity in Christ is confusing and unclear. Uncertainty and unanswered questions tend to lead us away from the Gospel and back to a religious, works-based mindset. In effect, we return to depending on our performance to live the Christian life. In this sermon, the Apostle Paul reminds the Galatian church of the role of faith, not only in becoming a Christian, but also in growing as a Christian.

You Have to Have It and You Have to Keep It, But what is It?
Faith... we all know its important. We know we need it for salvation, and even for daily life. We know we need to maintain the faith once for all delivered to the saints. But sometimes we're confused as to just what, exactly, faith is. Using Galatians 3:1-9 as a reference, we see what it is, how we get it, and how we can recognize it in ourselves and others.

The Christian Life
There are 2 opposite approaches to living the Christian life - the law-centered approach and the Christ-centered approach. In Galatians 2:15-21, Paul explains how the doctrine of justification through faith in Jesus Christ-alone puts an end to the one and lays the foundation for the other.
