TEXT: GALATIANS 3:15-29 | GOD’S COVENANT PROMISE INTRO ILLUSTRATION : Have you ever made a promise? As a kid, you learn there are certain levels of promises. The most basic level of a promise is simply saying that you promise. This carries with it the least amount of weight, but you have only said the…

Prayer Pray that all of us leave this morning seeing Jesus as more glorious than we did when we arrived. Pray that this text this morning leads us to love our neighbor more. Not that we feel the need to do something, or not do something but that we should all leave this morning seeing Jesus as all glorious.…

Got Questions Yes of course!! But it does not have to be Saturday, or even Sunday. 8 “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor, and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter,…

When reading the details of the Old Covenant do we apply "grace to me, law for thee" or "law for me, grace for thee"?

3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, 4 who gave himself for our sins to deliver us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, 5 to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen. 6 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called…

God’s Law - God’s Council I’ll admit, it’s a little hard to get excited about the Law of God. How many of us would echo Paul’s sentiment, that he delighted in the Law of God in his heard? Or how many of us think of the law the way David did? The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony…

The letter to the Galatians is an appeal by Paul to churches in the Roman province of Galatia to resist the movement to abandon the system of salvation that saves one by faith in Christ (expressed in repentance and baptism), and adopt a system of salvation whereby one is justified by the keeping of the…

As a follower of Jesus for a long time a person like myself can start to think, I’ve got this whole faith thing figured out. Most of the things where I fail at, where I sin are things that would never make the news, most people would think that there’s a problem with the person whose mad at me. The kind…

This is an incredibly stressful time for me personally. My current situation at school is not yet settling down, and last week was my birthday. I received so much love. Thank you church! Inspiring, grateful and thankful are just some of the words for how nice my birthday was from here at the church,…

The Law and Promise To give a human example, brothers: even with a man-made covenant, no one annuls it or adds to it once it has been ratified. Now the promises were made to Abraham and to his offspring. It does not say, “And to offsprings,” referring to many, but referring to one, “And to your offspring,”…

Faith O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? It was before your eyes that Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified. Let me ask you only this: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law or by hearing with faith? Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected…

Galatians 3 & 4 Good morning church! Glad to be with you guys this morning, continuing on in our study through the book of Galatians. It is in my top 66 favorite books in the Bible! I say that because I feel like I often say, this or that in one of my favorites, and it’s true. It just seems that very…

ME Reformation, central idea the 5 solas Two of the central ideas of our salvation are grace and faith. This idea was not new to the Reformation, or the church fathers, or the NT. These ideas were there for all time. We this in this passage WE We Are Saved By the Promises of God God To give a human example,…

Life is about timing. Timing is important in many aspects of life. We all ask, “why”? The proverbial “why”. Yet, this is important. It is a fundamental question. Sometimes we get an answer. Are you a child or an adult? Interesting question isn’t it? Yet as we come to our text this morning it is important…

We all have faith. Everyone of us has faith in something. The issue is rarely if we have faith but, “what is our faith in”? Faith is the foundation of life. This is true regardless of our faith. Faith is the core of life. To change is hard work. This is what we all know to be true and this is why growing…

Intro: What is Faith? Heb 1 talks about faith as being the substance of things unseen and an assurance of things hoped for. But what does that mean to you, what is faith? If we are saved by faith then whose faith? Faith sometimes in Christianity can be a very obscure concept. We can feel it, we taste…

The covenant promise of God in the Bible is more than a ticket to eternal salvation, it is also an invitation to a new community of people

Palm Sunday Foretold by the Prophets 9 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout in triumph, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your king is coming to you; He is just and endowed with salvation, Humble, and mounted on a donkey, Even on a colt, the foal of a donkey. 22 The stone which the builders rejected…

Where do we start? 10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. 10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; A good understanding have all those who do His commandments; His praise endures forever. What do we tend to fear? The unknown…

But now, since you know God, or rather have become known by God, how can you turn back again to the weak and worthless elements? Do you want to be enslaved to them all over again? You are observing special days, months, seasons, and years. I am fearful for you, that perhaps my labor for you has been…

1 Paul, an apostle—not from men or by man, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father who raised him from the dead— 2 and all the brothers who are with me: To the churches of Galatia. 3 Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ, 4 who gave himself for our sins to rescue us from…

The Superior: The Promise of Messiah 15 Brothers, I’m using a human illustration. No one sets aside or makes additions to even a human covenant that has been ratified. 16 Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. He does not say “and to seeds,” as though referring to many, but referring…

What is faith really? Is faith a forced belief? Is faith in something? Is faith in that something will happen? Or Is faith something more beautiful and more tangible then that? Faith = belief in God from a root word = trust in or to have confidence in or be persuaded. To make friends of. Sense; To have…

The Work of God In Christ He becomes a Curse for Us Redeems us from the Curse of the Law To fulfill the promise God gave to Abraham (Christ as the Word fulfills the Word) Abraham Was actually saved by Christ (Trusted in Gods’ Word who is Christ) God’s Promise to Abraham was 430 years before the Mosaic…
