In Galatians 3:19–22, Paul answers a crucial question: If salvation comes by promise, not law, then why was the law given at all? He explains that the law was never meant to give life—it was given to expose sin, to show our need for a Savior, and to point us to Christ.

The law is not opposed to God’s promise, but it prepares the way for it. It reveals the problem—so that we can see the only solution is faith in Jesus.

In Galatians 3:15–18, Paul reminds us that God is a promise keeper. Long before the law was given, God made a covenant with Abraham—and that promise was centered on Christ. The law, which came later, didn’t cancel or replace the promise.

Paul's message is clear: our salvation rests on God’s unchanging promise, not on human performance. The inheritance comes by faith, not by law.

In Galatians 3:10–14, Paul draws a sharp contrast between two ways to approach God: the way of law-keeping or the way of faith. One leads to a curse—because no one can perfectly keep the law. The other leads to blessing—because Christ became a curse for us, so that we might be justified by faith.

This passage confronts our tendency to rely on our own efforts and calls us to rest in the finished work of Jesus.

In Galatians 3:6–9, Paul points to Abraham as the example of true saving faith. Long before the law was given, Abraham was counted righteous because he believed God. Paul’s message is clear: salvation has always been by faith alone, not by works.

Those who share Abraham’s faith are his true children and heirs of God’s promise. This short but powerful passage reminds us that the gospel is not about earning, but believing.

In Galatians 3:1–5, Paul confronts the believers with a heartfelt rebuke: “O foolish Galatians!” They had started their journey by faith in the Spirit, but were now trying to continue by relying on their own efforts. Paul calls them to remember what they already knew—that salvation and spiritual growth come through faith, not works.

This passage challenges us to consider: Are we trying to earn what God gives freely? Are we forge...

In Galatians 2:15–21, Paul delivers one of the clearest declarations of the gospel: we are not justified by works of the law, but through faith in Jesus Christ. No human effort can make us right before God—only the grace found in Christ's finished work on the cross.

Paul powerfully states, “I have been crucified with Christ... and the life I now live I live by faith in the Son of God.” This isn’t just doctrine—it’s a new identit...

In Galatians 2:11-14, Paul confronts Peter for giving in to peer pressure. Once freely eating with Gentile believers, Peter suddenly withdraws when certain men arrive from Jerusalem. His fear of others’ opinions leads to hypocrisy—and even Barnabas is swept up in it.

But Paul won’t stay silent. He challenges Peter publicly, because their behavior was out of step with the truth of the gospel. This moment reminds us that peer pressure...

In Galatians 2:1-10, Paul recounts his visit to Jerusalem to meet with those who were “reputed to be influential”—the apostles Peter, James, and John, often referred to as the pillars of the early church.

Paul didn’t go to seek approval, but to affirm that the gospel he preached—salvation by grace alone, through Christ alone, through faith alone—was indeed the one true gospel. The Jerusalem leaders recognized God’s work through Paul...

What distinguishes a true proclaimer of the gospel? In Galatians 1:10-24, Paul defends his apostleship and makes it clear that his message came not from man, but from Jesus Christ. His life, once marked by persecution, was radically transformed by the very gospel he sought to destroy.

A true gospel proclaimer will always seek God's approval, not man's, share God's message faithfully, preach the need for true conversion, ...

Paul delivers a strong warning in Galatians 1:6-9: distorting the gospel has serious consequences. The Galatians were quickly turning away from the truth, embracing a different gospel that was no gospel at all. Paul makes it clear—twisting the gospel leads to desertion from Christ, deception, trouble, and ultimately, a curse.

When the gospel is distorted, people are led away from the grace of Christ and turn to something false. Inst...

We begin our new sermon series on the book of Galatians, where Paul defends the gospel of grace and calls believers to stand firm in the freedom found in Christ.

In Galatians 1:1-5, we see three key elements in Paul’s introduction:

• The Sender: Paul, an apostle—not by man’s authority, but sent by Jesus Christ and God the Father.
• The Recipients: The churches of Galatia, struggling with false teachings and in need of a reminder of th...

In Genesis 49, Jacob gathers his sons to speak prophetic words over their futures. For Reuben, Simeon, and Levi, his words are not blessings in the traditional sense but warnings about the consequences of their past actions. Yet, these warnings hold profound lessons, urging reflection, repentance, and growth.

Join us as we explore how God’s warnings, though difficult to hear, are expressions of His grace—guiding us away from destru...

In Genesis 45, Joseph reveals his true identity to his brothers, but instead of dwelling on their betrayal, he offers a different perspective: God used their actions to bring about a greater good. Joseph’s powerful words, “It was not you who sent me here, but God,” reveal his understanding of how God worked through his painful past to fulfill His purpose.

Join us as we explore how Joseph’s story teaches us to see our own past throu...

In Genesis 44, Joseph devises a scheme to test his brothers' hearts, planting his silver cup in Benjamin’s sack. When the cup is “discovered,” the brothers face a seemingly hopeless situation, and Judah steps forward, offering himself as a substitute for Benjamin. Through this ultimate act of loyalty, the brothers reveal their transformation. At this pivotal moment, Joseph’s long-held secret is about to be revealed, setting the sta...

In Genesis 43, Joseph’s brothers return to Egypt, bringing Benjamin as requested, still anxious about how they’ll be received. But instead of hostility, they find an unexpected welcome. Joseph, who recognizes his brothers though they do not recognize him, shows them unexpected kindness. He arranges a meal in his own home, ensures their needs are met, and offers them generous hospitality, leaving his brothers surprised and puzzled.

In this episode, we explore Genesis 42, where Joseph’s brothers are confronted with the consequences of their past actions. As they stand before Joseph, unaware of his identity, guilt and conviction begin to weigh heavily on them. This chapter serves as a powerful reminder of how God uses circumstances to bring about repentance and restoration.

Join us as we reflect on how God works through conviction to bring transformation and re...

In this episode, we explore how God, in His grace, warned Egypt about the coming famine and how Pharaoh trusted God's message, placing Joseph in charge of executing the life-saving plan. Joseph, blessed by God, developed a detailed strategy to store up resources, ensuring Egypt's survival and, ultimately, the preservation of Jacob’s family.
