1 Paul, an apostle—not from men nor through man, but through 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 our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, 4 who gave himself for our sins to deliver…

1 Corinthians 10:23-30 Smoking a Good Cigar to the Glory of God “All things are lawful,” but not all things are helpful. “All things are lawful,” but not all things build up. Let no one seek his own good, but the good of his neighbour. Eat whatever is sold in the meat market without raising any question…

The primary problem addressed by Paul in 1 Corinthians, the point behind the fruit of the Spirit, the primary pursuit in Ephesians, and the putting on of the new person in Colossians 3 is all about loving our brothers and sisters.

How far should our Christian Liberties go?

I have heard this said of the local church, “A church is one bad pastor away from crumbling into liberalism.” In other words, if I the pastor were to die tomorrow, and you all were left with the decision to call a new pastor, if you make the wrong choice the consequences could be devastating for the…

THE TROUBLED - TRIUMPHANT CHURCH Sermon 27 – “For the Sake of the Gospel” STAND & READ 1 Cor. 9:1-18 Introduction Two weeks back, we began a new section in Paul’s letter to the church in Corinth. This section, which runs from chapter 8-11.1, has as its theme Christian Liberty….our freedom in Christ.…

A través de la luz de Jesús podemos traer esperanza a este mundo. Gracias a Él, somos hijos de la luz de Dios.

Magna Carta of Christian Liberty It is said that the book of Galatians is the Magna Carta for Christian Liberty or for apologetics. Paul tonight brings in a key verse in the Magna Carta that must be understood, applied and protected. Why? So we do not return to any form of bondage or legalism that wants…

What does God think about our showing respect for persons?

Do you have spiritual liberty? If so, proclaim it to others. If not, receive through faith in Jesus!

Opening Comments: Please go ahead and make your way to Galatians 5:1-6 in your copy of God’s Word this morning. The apostle Paul typically follows a formula in his writing where he begins with personal comments, then makes his way to doctrinal teaching and then follows that up by applying the doctrine…

This morning I want to address the young people in our church once again. Our topic is Christian liberty. Several hundred years before the Lord Jesus Christ was born, the prophet Isaiah announced that his mission would be, in part, to proclaim liberty to the captives (Isa. 61:1). This does not mean merely…

A Heartfelt Conclusion Paul loved to close out his letters was a personal touch, a word of encouragement and words of grace and peace (1The5:28; 2The3:17-18; Php4:23). The letter to the church at Galatia is a little more in depth. He still has a little more to say. Things to consider as we finish this…

Those in Christ cannot be blaclisted, banned or bound by the expectations of others.

God created the church to have unity with diversity. In Romans 14, Paul instructs Christians how to value unity over personal preferences.

1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? 2 Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? 3 Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into…

“Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.” “You were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.” [1] Religious liberty is not simply an ecclesiastical truth debated among…

Understanding and walking in Christian Liberty brings fellowship

We are not all at the same level of spiritual maturity, and we do not all walk the exact same path with Jesus; therefore, let us not get disagreeable over opinions.

Freedom: 1959 was the year of my birth – I am a child of the 60’s! Although I was just a child, there was a great social movement by youth in the 1960’s – a reaction against what they perceived to be the failure of the older generation that had led to two world wars, corruption, oppression and a world…

Text Exodus 21:1–11 (ESV) — 1 “Now these are the rules that you shall set before them. 2 When you buy a Hebrew slave, he shall serve six years, and in the seventh he shall go out free, for nothing. 3 If he comes in single, he shall go out single; if he comes in married, then his wife shall go out with…
