In this episode, we focus on Galatians 6:15, where Paul underscores that “neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything; what counts is the new creation.” Here, Paul speaks to the heart of the gospel: salvation is through faith alone, not by external rituals or observances. This leads us into a discussion on sacraments versus ordinances—are these practices necessary for salvation, or are they symbols of our faith and obedience? As we explore these ideas, we’ll see that while sacraments and ordinances hold an important place in Christian worship, they do not contribute to our salvation; rather, they point us back to the transformative power of grace.

In this episode, we focus on the call to restore each other in love as laid out in Galatians 6:1-5. Paul emphasizes the importance of helping one another when we fall into sin, doing so with gentleness and humility. Greg reminds us that the law exposes the seriousness of sin, but our true freedom in Christ is found in walking by the Spirit. As we live by the Spirit, we’re called to lovingly call out sin and support each other, reflecting Christ’s grace. This restoration isn't about judgment, but about helping one another stay faithful and not fall deeper into sin. It’s an expression of our love for each other, driven by the Spirit’s work in our lives.

Listen to the Sermon

Greg discusses how the law reveals the depth of our sin, making sin utterly sinful, and how Galatians 5:16-26 teaches us that true freedom in Christ is not found in following the law, but in walking by the Spirit. This freedom leads us to serve others in love, as Galatians 5:13-15 explains. Loving our neighbor is not merely an emotion but a deliberate choice to seek their good, reflecting Christ’s heart. By living in the Spirit, our faith naturally expresses itself through love and good works—not as an attempt to fulfill the law, but as an overflow of the grace we've received in Christ.

As we grow in Christ, our faith naturally expresses itself through love and good works, not by following the law but by living out the grace we've received.

Greg dives into Galatians 5, highlighting how true freedom in Christ is found in faith working through love. He explains the distinction between justification—being declared righteous through faith alone—and sanctification, the ongoing work of God in our lives. Greg stresses that our sanctification is certain because God will complete the good work He began in us. Paul refutes the Judaizers, showing that salvation is not through the law, but by grace alone. As God sanctifies us, our faith naturally expresses itself in love and good works.

Today, we're covering the sermon from July 7, 2024, called "The Son of God Who Loved Me," which you can listen to here.

In Galatians 2:16-21, Paul emphasizes that we have been justified (using the aorist tense) through faith in Jesus Christ, not by the works of the law, illustrating that he has been crucified with Christ and now lives by faith in the Son of God. This passage highlights the futility of seeking righteousness through the law and underscores the necessity of faith in Christ for true justification, demonstrating that righteousness is granted through God's grace, not human efforts.

Today, we're covering the sermon from June 9, 2024, called "The Revelation of Jesus," which you can listen to here. Greg says the sermon was on June 16, it was actually on June 9. Apologies for any confusion.

In this sermon, we explored how Paul distinguishes between the law revealed to the Jews and the gospel revealed through Jesus. Paul explains in Galatians 1:11-24 that the gospel is otherworldly and unexpected, showing it’s not of this world. He emphasizes that the gospel is a divine revelation, distinct from human understanding, and that faith in the gospel is granted by God. This understanding is crucial because it underscores the revelatory and exclusive nature of the gospel. Paul’s teachings help us see that understanding the gospel comes through the Spirit, not through human wisdom.

No Other Gospel: Galatians 1:6-10 Jul 03, 2024

Today, we're covering the sermon from May 26, 2024, titled "No Other Gospel," which you can listen to here. Greg says the sermon was on June 9, it was actually on May 26. Apologies for any confusion.

We're continuing our study of Galatians, moving into a key part of Paul's argument against the requirement to follow Mosaic law for salvation. Paul firmly states that altering the gospel in any way makes it no gospel at all, emphasizing the exclusivity of Christianity as the only way to God. While some may see this stance as arrogant, we are committed to teaching what has been revealed to us through Scripture. Today, we'll explore how this theme is not just Paul's idea but rooted deeply in Jesus' own teachings, particularly in the Gospel of John and the Synoptic Gospels.
