In Galatians 5, Paul reminds us that true freedom comes not from religious rule-keeping or law-based performance, but from living by the Spirit through faith in Christ alone.--The Unveiling Mormonism podcast pulls back the curtain on Mormon history, culture and doctrine.

Message from Andrew Robbins on June 22, 2025

Sometimes what we think will lead to freedom actually has the opposite effect. It can be hard to see things as they are, but Galatians 4 brings clarity when it comes to our relationship with God and others. God is calling us to real freedom in Christ, not the illusion of the world.

Stand Firm in Freedom (Galatians 5:1)                 • Moms (and all of us) need to hear this: you are not loved because of                        your performance. You're loved because Christ has already secured                          your worth.   2. Love Over Law (Galatians 5:2–6)                  • Encourage moms today: Your quiet acts of service are seen by God.   3. Beware of the Leaven (Galatians 5:7–9)                   • Paul says: Don't let that stuff grow. It spoils freedom.   4. Serve One Another in Love (Galatians 5:13–14)                 • This is Jesus-shaped love—the love that lays down its rights for the                           good of others.   5. Avoiding the Bite (Galatians 5:15)              "But if you bite and devour one another, watch out that you are not                            consumed by one another." (Galatians 5:15)          • Love guards the mouth. Selfishness weaponizes it.          • You can't avoid the bite by trying harder-you must walk by the Spirit.   Next Step Questions: 1.) Do you need to experience freedom in Christ today? 2.) What do you need to do today to avoid the bite?

This Sunday, we jumped back into our series on Galatians, Living in the Freedom of Grace! Pastor Marty taught from chapter 5. In his message, he taught us how easily we can fall into legalism rather than truly relying on the gospel message of grace through faith in the saving work of Jesus on our behalf. We hope you enjoy watching!This message is from 4/27/25

Paul shows the Galatians how their strict adherence to the law for their righteousness is returning them to a life of slavery, apart from Christ. He calls them back, urging them to stand firm in the same freedom they were initially saved into because of Jesus. Comparing this with the parable of the two sons in Luke 15, we consider the ways in which we also return to a yoke of slavery and how we should respond when we do.

Devotion : Freedom! / Galatians 5:7-15 by Community Lutheran Church

What does it take to change the course of history? Join Wendy Hickox and me, Tosha Williams, as we highlight the extraordinary life of Harriet Tubman, a woman whose profound trust in God empowered her to relentlessly pursue freedom - and not just for herself but for many. Harriet's daring escape and heroic missions on the Underground Railroad exemplify not just her bravery, but her unyielding belief that she was chosen by God to lead others to freedom. Her legacy is a powerful reminder of the impact one person can have when driven by faith, courage, and a commitment to freedom.As we honor Harriet's remarkable pursuit of FREEDOM in this podcast, we are inspired look at what the Bible says about FREEDOM in Galatians 5:1:"It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery." (Galatians 5:1)Harriet wasn't just fighting for physical freedom—she was fighting for the freedom God intends for all of us. Christ has set us free so we can live courageously, boldly, and on mission for Him.So, after we learn Harriet's story, let's spend some time with Jesus and see what He wants to say about this through this Devotion-Driven-Discipleship conversation guide about Galatians 5:1.Also, you can learn more about Harriet's amazing story in this blog at https://familydiscipleme.org/march-mission-madness-harriet-tubman-freedom/This March MISSION Madness and always, let's live crazy amazing lives for Jesus, in His freedom for our own lives and for the sake of others!!!______________________The Family Disciple Me ministry exists to catalyze devotion driven discipleship in our homes and around the world.

In Galatians (Chapter 5), the Apostle Paul emphasizes the significant decision every Believer must make between freedom and slavery, liberty and bondage, life and death. The choice is ours: to embrace the freedom offered in Christ or to return to the shackles of the flesh, world, and the devil. In this message, we will look at the practical benefits (and detriments) of choosing either life-liberating freedom or burdensome slavery. Let's choose wisely! Part 15 Galatians Series “Choose Freedom” (Galatians 5:1-6) Pastor Bill Young February 22 & 23, 2025 Draper

Pastor Joseph speaks through the passage from 4:21-5:15 on the topic of freedom.

In this lesson, the Apostle Paul makes a powerful and emotional plea to the Galatian Christians, out of the anguish of his father's heart, to turn away from legalism and embrace the freedom found in Christ.For the study resources and manuscript go to VBVF.ORG

Send us a textCan Christian freedom be the ultimate key to living a life of love and service, rather than a path to indulging the flesh? Join us as we unravel Apostle Paul's transformative message in Galatians 5:13-15. We promise you'll gain insights into navigating your spiritual journey with an understanding of how true freedom in Christ liberates us not for selfish desires but for selfless service. Inspired by Jesus washing his disciples' feet, we'll explore the profound shift from inward temptation to outward love, addressing the age-old conflict between the flesh and the Spirit. This episode is your guide to living in the Spirit, fostering spiritual growth, and aligning with your regenerated spirit amidst the world's temptations.Support the show

Send us a textCan we truly be free while feeling enslaved to our daily routines? This episode promises to change your perspective by delving into the powerful journey from spiritual enslavement to liberation through faith. We dissect and contrast the Greek terms used for the word "know" and explore how the transition from being separated from God to being known by Him marks a pivotal change in one's spiritual journey. Imagine striving to achieve righteousness through the law, only to find it ultimately ineffective due to human frailty. By illustrating these dynamics, we reveal the dangers of returning to "worthless elemental things" and offer insights into Paul's passionate plea for a grace-centered faith devoid of legalism. This episode is packed with revelations that challenge conventional views, urging believers to embrace a transformative relationship with God.Support the show

How does the gospel free us to live? What does freedom look like for the Christian? In this message, Pastor Kiel Mahaffy takes us to Galatians 5 to show us the free life in Christ.

When God sovereignly calls us, he opens our eyes to see and embrace the beauty of Jesus. And that call grants freedom from obeying the law as a means of being justified.

If you try to be justified under the law, you will remain under the curse. But if you stand firm in the grace of the gospel, you will enjoy true freedom.
