Galatians (Page 3)

Put Off the Deeds of the Flesh

Galatians 5:19-21 Having outlined the two opposing forces that are at work in the life of a believer (the flesh and the Spirit), Paul now lists some of the deeds that arise from the flesh and gives a clear warning of the consequences…

Through Love Serve One Another

Galatians 5:13-15 Paul reminds us that though our salvation is faith-based, we are still called to holiness. To claim to be a Christian but live a worldly life would cast doubt on our salvation and show that we do not truly love and want to serve God.

Beware of Ungodly Influences

Galatians 5:7-12 Paul continues in his admonition of the Galatians, reminding them of how they started well but are now ‘falling away’. We are warned to avoid false teaching from any source, for it can destroy us and others surrounding us.

Faith Working through Love

Galatians 5:1-6 Paul tells the Galatians that by turning back to the Law for a salvation by works, they would be cutting themselves off from Christ.

Children of the Bondwoman

Galatians 4:21-31 Paul continues his caution against trying to add our works onto Christ’s for our salvation, this time using an allegory from the Old Testament concerning Abraham, Sarah, and Hagar. First, we consider this use of allegory.

Children of the Free Woman

Galatians 4:21-31 We continue to analyse Paul’s discussion with the Galatians by looking at the flip-side of this morning’s message. Paul states that believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, who are the children of the free woman under the allegory he is expounding…

Don’t Let It All Be For Nothing

Galatians 4:8-11 Paul reveals his pastor’s heart as he appeals to the Galatians to realize how foolish is the path on which they are embarking. Understanding that we, too, can be tempted down that same path, we look at the points Paul makes to the Galatians and apply them

That We Might Receive The Adoption

Galatians 4:1-5 Paul continues to pile argument upon argument as to why the Galatians should not return to the old system that the Judaizers were pressing on them, but should instead cleave to Christ alone. Here, he raises the glorious topic of adoption…

The Inheritance Through Promise

Galatians 3:15-18 Paul tells the Galatians that the promise of God, given in the Abrahamic covenant was not abolished by the Mosaic covenant, which came in 430 years later. God’s covenants are permanent, and therefore are not abolished. The Abrahamic covenant was not made

Why Was the Law Given?

Galatians 3:19-29 We now focus on the Abrahamic and Mosaic Covenants and see that the Law was given to the Israelites to show their sin and point them to the coming Savior, but not to provide a different means of salvation. Due to a technical problem, the first 6 minutes

Those of Faith Are Blessed

Galatians 3:1-9 Paul has finished with arguments drawn from his own calling and experience that validate the Gospel he preached to the Galatians as being the true Gospel. Now he moves on to other arguments and here we see him appealing to the experience that the Galatian
