3 - A Testimony of Faith, Galatians 1.11-12 by Pastor David Goodson
"Foolish Faith" (Galatians 3:1-5)What if the way to true freedom and peace isn't through striving or self-reliance, but through something that seems, to the world, completely foolish? We'll also look at an unexpected story—the Trojan horse—and how it might just help us understand the surprising power of God's grace in our lives. This isn't the kind of faith that makes sense at first glance, but it's the kind of faith that changes everything once we see it for what it truly is.This Sunday we explore the incredible freedom that comes from understanding grace—not as something we need to prove ourselves worthy of, but as something God freely offers. It's not about what we can do, but about what He has already done for us. This powerful truth changes the way we think, live, and relate to others.Need Prayer?

We promise you'll discover how the temporary purpose of the law is akin to a child needing a tutor, painting a vivid picture of the transition from law's guardianship to becoming full-grown heirs through faith in Christ. Delve into Abraham's faith, a powerful parallel to the spiritual growth believers experience, and understand how moving beyond the constraints of the law leads to a mature relationship with God. In this session, we discuss the empowering transformation that comes from accepting Christ, encouraging you to ponder your spiritual journey and embrace growth and maturity in your faith.Support the show

If the fruit of the Spirit is a miracle that God produces in his people, what can we do to cultivate that fruit?
In his sermon, Gordie Hunt addresses four pivotal questions about being justified by faith alone, as discussed in Galatians 2:16-19. He explores the foundation of justification, emphasizing that it is not through the law but through faith in Jesus Christ. Gordie clarifies that our deeds do not secure our righteousness; instead, faith in Christ's sacrifice assures our standing before God. He challenges listeners to embrace this truth without reverting to legalistic beliefs by reiterating the theme of being justified by faith alone. ★ Support this podcast ★
Are you ready to run a long spiritual marathon? Today, we extend a warm welcome to Patrick Hurley from Liberty Hill, TX, who has recently joined our community by signing up for Video Access on our website. Patrick, we're thrilled to have you on board! You were running well. Who hindered you from obeying the truth? This persuasion is not from him who calls you. — Galatians 5:7-8 A few times in Paul's letters, he uses a running metaphor to describe the spiritual race. This is one of those instances. So, let's lace up our spiritual running shoes and explore three key parallels Paul makes here. There is a Form for the Run Form is crucial when running in any race. Just as a marathon runner needs to maintain proper form to endure the demanding miles ahead, we, too, must cultivate a form that will sustain us. There will be seasons when our spiritual form feels effortless, and we must commit this form to memory. Because there will be more challenging stretches of the race, we will get sloppy, and then we will need to return to the memory and habits of that form. There are Obstacles on the Run No marathon is without obstacles. Runners encounter hills to climb, rugged terrain, and unexpected hurdles. In the same way, our spiritual journey is thick with obstacles that threaten our progress. Whether it's temptation, doubt, or the pressures of the world, there will be moments when we stumble and lose our stride. Yet, as Paul reminds us, these obstacles are not insurmountable, and we can quickly get back to form. There are Voices as We Run As we race towards the finish line, we are bombarded with voices vying for our attention. Just as an athlete hears the cheers and heckles of the crowd, we, too, encounter voices along our spiritual journey. There are two persuasive voices: the voice that is from God and the voice that is not. Both are persuading you at the same time. One is giving you good advice, and one is giving you bad advice. One is from the Holy Spirit and speaks truth, offering wisdom, guidance, and encouragement that leads you back to the proper form. Conversely, the enemy seeks to deceive and derail us with lies and distractions that lead to bad form. As you reflect on the text today, here's the call to action: check your form, watch the obstacles, listen to the Spirit's voice, and fix your eyes on the prize. Let us charge ahead with unwavering resolve, ready to run the long race of faith with our eyes fixed on the ultimate prize—eternity with Jesus Christ. #SpiritualMarathon #RunTheRace #FaithEndurance #KeepTheFaith #EternalPrize ASK THIS: How can you actively cultivate and maintain your spiritual form to endure the challenges of the long spiritual marathon? Reflecting on your recent spiritual journey, what obstacles have you encountered, and how have you overcome them to stay on course in your race of faith? DO THIS: Run and keep your form. PRAY THIS: Father, guide me as I lace up my spiritual shoes and embark on this marathon of faith. Grant me strength to overcome obstacles, discern your voice, and run with endurance towards the eternal prize awaiting me. Amen. PLAY THIS: Run To The Father.
How do people become sons of God and heirs to his promises? They must put on Jesus Christ, God's true Son, by faith and not by law-keeping.
Galatians 2:15-2115 We ourselves are Jews by birth and not Gentile sinners; 16 yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.17 But if, in our endeavor to be justified in Christ, we too were found to be sinners, is Christ then a servant of sin? Certainly not! 18 For if I rebuild what I tore down, I prove myself to be a transgressor. 19 For through the law I died to the law, so that I might live to God. 20 I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. 21 I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness were through the law, then Christ died for no purpose.
But the Scripture imprisoned everything under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe. Now before faith came, we were held captive under the law, imprisoned until the coming faith would be revealed. — Galatians 3:22-23 CALL OUT: I want to give a shout-out to Colin Steen from Brandon, SD, who purchased numerous copies of 30 Men Who Lived With Conviction. This is one of the easiest books we have for leading men through some great biblical conversations. Thanks, Colin, for stepping in and stepping up and leading men. Paul imagines Scripture as our judge, sin as the jailor, and mankind as the inmates held captive by the law. This imagery combines the damages and the discipline demanded by sin. It is the final judgment pronounced in Paul's case which is this: We are all guilty, sentenced, and captive by sin of which there is no escape without faith in Jesus. This imagery exposes why many don't believe in Jesus. They don't believe that sin's effects are as expansive as Paul expresses here. They think their moral goodness is good enough. Believing this, they conclude one of two things: either they don't need Jesus because they think they are morally good. Or that they are good enough, so if Jesus does exist, he will accept them. But this is faulty logic and exactly the logic taught by the world in every self-help book written and every Disney movie you have ever watched. It is the false belief that mankind, at the core, is good and, therefore, has some ability to save itself by its capabilities, competence, character, and personal capacity. But you can't. It is not possible. Paul says it's impossible. This is why you have to convince someone of the bad news before you tell them the good news. And the bad news is very bad. We are sinful, slaves, serving sentences for our own sins. And there is no escape—except by Jesus. He is the good news. Faith in him saves us from the sentence of our senseless sin, which enslaves us. So get out there today and tell people the Good News. But remember, you might have to tell them the bad news first; otherwise, they won't see the need. God, I pray that the people around us today will see the Good News in each of us, come to their senses about the senseless nature of the sin that enslaves them, and be drawn to the saving power of Jesus Christ, which blows the doors off the prison of sin. #FaithInJesus #FreedomFromSin #GoodNewsBadNews #LiberatedByFaith #SinnersSavedByGrace ASK THIS: How does understanding the depth of our captivity to sin impact our perception of our need for Jesus? In what ways can we effectively communicate the "bad news" of sin's consequences before sharing the "good news" of salvation through Jesus? DO THIS: Explain the bad news with the good news. PRAY THIS: Lord, open my eyes to see the reality of sin's grip on my life and the world around me, and give me the courage to share the liberating message of faith in Jesus with others. May Your saving power break through the darkness of sin, setting hearts free to embrace Your grace and truth. Amen. PLAY THIS: Good News.
This is what I mean: the law, which came 430 years afterward, does not annul a covenant previously ratified by God, so as to make the promise void. For if the inheritance comes by the law, it no longer comes by promise; but God gave it to Abraham by a promise. — Galatians 3:17-18 CALL OUT: Shout out to Chase Shrum from Houston, TX, who graciously encourages men to check out our resources and daily devotionals. I cannot thank you enough. I know sometimes texts like this one, read exclusively, can feel very cryptic; however, the meaning is simple. Paul is stating a chronological fact. The promise God made to Abraham was not changed by God at the advent of the Mosaic Law, which occurred 430 years later. Or, to emphasize the issue at hand, the faith of Abraham's covenant and blessing was not ratified 430 years later by works of the Law. Faith was and still is the means of the Abrahamic blessing. This draws attention to a danger we constantly face as believers—losing touch with the truth of Scripture. Every believer needs to read the Scripture for themselves. You need to pick up your Bible and read it. You need to mature beyond consuming the regurgitated text of a popular pastor who preaches a proof text. You need to read more than the New Testament. You need to read both Testaments. The whole Bible tells a whole story. One congruent story that God has been telling since the beginning of time. In the thread Paul references right here, we see one covenant, one blessing, one promise, one Son, and one sacrifice for all people provided by faith. The only way to see God's divine design is to read the thread for yourself. When you read it, you will see it. The carefully woven, intricately connected, divine design of our Sovereign God in whom we have faith. Reading the whole of the Bible will strengthen your faith and maybe even correct the corrupt beliefs you have about him. #FaithfulPromises #BiblicalTruth #GodsCovenant #ScriptureReading #StrengthenYourFaith ASK THIS: How does reading the entire Bible, both Old and New Testaments, enhance one's understanding of God's unchanging promises and faithfulness throughout history? In what ways can we ensure that we're not just relying on secondhand interpretations of Scripture but actively engaging with the text ourselves to deepen our faith and correct any misconceptions we may have about God? DO THIS: Set a goal of reading the entire Bible. PRAY THIS: Father, thank you for your unchanging promises that are revealed throughout Scripture. Help me to dive deeper into your Word, to read it with understanding, and to trust in your faithfulness in every season of my life. Amen. PLAY THIS: Faithful.

The Word of God confronts Christians who are not living in step with the gospel.
Weekly Sunday sermons from Pastor Mike Powers and other members of our Pastoral Body. Richland Creek Community Church gathers to glorify God in worship, grow as disciples of Jesus, and go on mission with the gospel. For more, visit richlandcreek.com.Main Idea: All people receive the blessings of God through faith in Christ.1. We share the same faith.2. We share the same blessing.
Obedience to the law can never make a person right before God, but the faith that saves produces works that conform to the law.
For through the law I died to the law, so that I might live to God. I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. — Galatians 2:19-20 CALL OUT: Today, I'd like to call out Chuck Peter from Roseville, MN, who yesterday marked his third year using our devotionals for his weekly Zoom meeting with his guys. It's my privilege to be a part of your group every week. Galatians 2:20 is undoubtedly one of the great verses of this chapter and the entire letter. Paul's point is that all our actions are futile. The law proved it. Our best actions on our best days were insufficient to reconcile our relationship with God. We needed the perfect action of a perfect man, Jesus, God's Son. Through his perfect work and his sacrifice for us on the Cross, we live. But from this point forward, it's not our life we live. It's his life. The life I live is a life lived by faith—faith that both saves and sustains—faith that saves me from eternal damnation and sustains me while I am still in the flesh. Thus, it is pointless to accept salvation by faith and then live my life by my works (which is what the false teachers were teaching). Instead, I should accept salvation by faith and live his life (not mine) by faith in his work (not mine). So here is the call to action for us based on this text: We wake up, look in the mirror, and say aloud in faith, “I will not live by my power today because I am dead, and Jesus lives through me.” Say it aloud throughout the day; believe it because it is the truth. #FaithInChrist #SurrenderedLife #LivingByFaith #ChristInMe #GraceOverWorks ASK THIS: How does the concept of "dying to self" and allowing Christ to live through us challenge your approach to daily decisions and interactions? Reflecting on your own journey of faith, what practical steps can you take to shift from relying on your own efforts to embracing Christ's life within you on a daily basis? DO THIS: Say aloud, “I will not live by my power today because I am dead, and Jesus lives through me.” PRAY THIS: Father, I humbly surrender my life to You, acknowledging my inability to save myself and embracing the transformative power of Christ living within me. Help me walk in faith each day, trusting in Your grace and allowing Your Spirit to guide my every step. Amen. PLAY THIS: Give Me Faith.
The Spirit is both the gift of faith and the agent of faith. We receive him by faith, and he grants the very faith by which we receive him.
Neither the beginning, nor the middle, nor the end of the Christian life is left untouched by the saving might of the Spirit.
What is saving faith? Historically, the answer has included three basic elements: knowing, assenting, and trusting.
Galatians 5v6 - For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but faith working through love.
IN OUR NEW SERIES AUSTIN TAKES US THROUGH THE LETTER TO THE GALATIANS where in this episode we stop and ask the question: WHAT IS FAITH? Faith is often interpreted to be mere belief, but what if Paul described faith as more than just wishful thinking? --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/into-the-fray/message

Midweek In-Depth Bible Study
Galatians is one of the most popular Bible studies in history because Paul waxes philosophical, but at the same time it's one of his most clear and concise letters. Paul doesn't mince words and he gives one of the clearest view of our freedom from sin and the gospel message in his letter to the dear children of the faith in what we now know as central Turkey.A much more positive and aspirational book, Colossians is Paul's letter to another church in modern-day Turkey. He shares with them the hope of the good news of Jesus and warns them to stay far away from the trappings of sin. This is a great way to round out our study—with the great hope of the gospel.-----------LINKS----------Support 10WB on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/10weekbibleThe 10 Week Bible - http://www.10WeekBible.comTwitter: @DarrenHibbs - https://twitter.com/DarrenHibbsSign up for my newsletter - http://www.darrenhibbs.comGet a copy of the 10 Week Bible Study today - https://www.amazon.com/Darren-Hibbs/e/B00B4I47CE/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=sl2&tag=darrenhcom0a-20&linkId=401f3d79974c70929517936977e32df9My other YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChUU0XHSHuhSyN8qk-7efYgSupport the show
