Galatians 6:1-10

Mark’s sermon draws from Galatians 6:1-10, comparing Paul’s exhortation to a coach’s halftime speech—motivating, instructing, and calling believers to action. He highlights how true freedom in Christ is lived out by walking in step with the Holy Spirit, leading us to carry each other’s burdens with love and humility. Paul’s message is clear: believers are not lone pioneers but a team, responsible for confronting sin with grace, supporting one another in struggles, and faithfully carrying their own load without comparison. The sermon emphasizes perseverance—continuing in obedience, sowing to the Spirit, and committing to doing good to all, regardless of differences. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, we grow in love, endurance, and selfless service, reflecting Christ’s sacrifice in our daily lives.

Galatians 5:13-26

True freedom in Christ is not about indulging in sin but walking by the Spirit. In Galatians 5:13-26, Paul warns against two dangerous extremes—legalism and license—and calls us to a life led by the Holy Spirit. Freedom in Christ is not an excuse to follow our sinful desires but an invitation to be transformed by His grace. As we walk by the Spirit, we bear the fruit of God’s character—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. This transformation not only strengthens our relationship with God but also impacts how we love and serve others.

Galatians 5:2-12

Marty challenges us to consider the question, “What’s the big deal?” as he unpacks Paul’s passionate warning in Galatians 5. The Galatians had been led astray by false teaching, believing they needed to add religious works to their faith in Christ to be truly accepted by God. Paul makes it clear—if you add to faith in Jesus, you risk losing everything. Marty walks us through five powerful truths that are lost when we stop fully trusting in Christ: His obedience, His grace, His righteousness, His love, and His truth. In the end, he calls us to treasure Jesus above all else, recognizing that our faith in Him is the biggest deal in our lives.

Galatians 4:8-5:1

Ross's sermon on Freedom in Christ: Galatians 4:8-5:1 calls us to stand firm in the gospel, rejecting any attempt to earn salvation through works. He emphasizes Paul's warning to the Galatians, who were turning back to legalism and idolatry instead of embracing the freedom found in Christ. Paul reminds them that salvation comes by faith alone, not by obeying the law. Using the story of Abraham, Ross illustrates the contrast between trying to take control and relying on God's promise. His message is clear: we must let go of idols, relinquish control, and cling to Jesus, standing firm in the freedom He has secured for us.

Galatians 3:26-4:7

Mark's sermon focuses on Paul’s message in Galatians 3:26–4:7, emphasizing our new identity in Christ. Through faith, we are no longer slaves to sin but have been adopted as children of God and made heirs to His promises. Paul highlights that the law once enslaved us, revealing our inability to meet God's standard on our own. But through Christ’s redemption, we are not just freed from sin—we are welcomed into God’s family, given the Holy Spirit, and granted the full rights of an heir. This transformation calls us to live with confidence, not as fearful slaves, but as beloved children assured of our Father’s love.

Galatians 3:15-25

Ross's sermon on Galatians 3:15-25 explores the relationship between God's promise to Abraham and the Law given through Moses, emphasizing that salvation comes by grace through faith, not by works. He explains how the law reveals our sin and points us to our need for a Savior, serving as a guide until Christ fulfilled it. Through vivid illustrations, he highlights God's unchanging promise, the law’s purpose, and the freedom found in Jesus. The message calls us to trust in Christ alone, leaving behind the burden of works-based righteousness to embrace the rest and assurance found in Him.
