Believers in Christ, you are free. Free to do the good works that God has set before you; to enjoy life with him; free to love others; free from the pull of sin. Despite this declaration, many of us struggle to experience this freedom. Listen as Dave steps deeper into Paul’s words to help us connect to the freedom in the Gospel.

Today, Georgia led a group discussion around the scripture from the previous sermon, Galatians 5:13-15.

Freedom cannot be freedom in the negative sense - freedom from control, freedom from want, freedom from limitations. Freedom must also be a positive freedom; a freedom for something. Hear Dave unpack Paul’s words on freedom to the Galatians.

In our scripture today, Paul exhorts the Galatians to reject the idea that circumcision is required to follow Christ. Embracing circumcision would be, at it’s deepest level, rejecting faith and embracing the law as the means to following God. How is it that keeping and holding people to one law somehow obligates them to all the laws? Listen as Dave unpacks the answer to this question.

Galatians chapter 4:21-5:1 is the capstone of Paul’s argument to the Galatians. Paul references the old testament in the event surrounding the birth of Ishmael and Isaac to prove his point. This text as a whole has proven difficult for modern theologians. Listen as Dave poses certain questions to better understand Paul’s position.

As we continue in our series on Galatians in chapter 4, we find Paul perplexed at the Galatians for listening to false teachers, an issue relevant to every church across history and across the world. Hear Dave examine Paul’s words to the Galatians regarding false teachers.
