Children of Freedom, Sons of Promise

Gal 4:31-31. Paul uses the historical story of Isaac and Ishmael as an illustration in contrasting the Law verses Promise. I can either live as a slave in bondage to the law or in the freedom of being sons by grace and promise. So, do you live like the son of a slave or the […]

There is only One Gospel

Gal 2:1-10. In light of opposition to his ministry, Paul demonstrates that both his apostleship and his gospel came directly from The Lord. He also shows that the apostles in Jerusalem, unlike the false teachers from there, believed the same gospel. There is only one gospel, the gospel of grace.

Discerning The Gospel of Grace

Gal 1:6-10, Acts 15:1-19. How discerning we need to be in the 21st century with so many false representations of the gospel around us and on the internet.
