“For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh.” — Galatians 5:17 In every believer's heart there is a constant struggle between the old nature and the new. The old nature is very active, and loses no opportunity of plying all the weapons of its deadly armoury against newborn grace; while […]

Galatians 6:9 — Christians may grow weary of well doing. Despite being on a correct path, all Christians have experienced spiritual depression. Much of this can be attributed to a “middle period” of the Christian life; a time that comes after much growth and momentum, with the struggle to continue despite feeling routine. In this sermon on Galatians 6:9 titled “Weary in Well Doing,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones outlines some common pitfalls and dangers during this period. Negative voices encourage giving up, resigning to the feelings of hopelessness and artificial stimulants such as alcohol or drugs that provide no lasting hope. For Christians who feel like they are just putting one foot in front of the other, Dr. Lloyd-Jones encourages that such feelings are normal. Instead of stalling, look to the word to discover “Why am I weary? What has caused me to feel this way?” Energy for serving Christ and growing in maturity is not from feelings, but from the Savior. Acknowledge that this life is a time of preparation for what is to come, and rest in knowing the Lord will rescue and redeem in due time. Dr. Lloyd-Jones encourages the listener that the walk will have ups and downs, but they can stand in their faith and not grow weary in doing good.

Messianic Apologetics editor John McKee discusses some of the complicated matters of Galatians 5:2-3. What would have been some of the negative consequences for the Galatians to go through with circumcision, actually returning to a yoke of slavery, and falling away from grace? These factors are often not considered in some contemporary Messianic discussions over Galatians 5:3, where one circumcised would become “a debtor to do the whole law.” This is then followed by a review of important stories and issues from the past day or so, largely witnessed on social media.

Galatians 4:15 — Christians can suffer from bouts of unhappiness in their faith. One contributing factor may be conflict and confusion due to false teaching within the Christian church. The main problem of spiritual depression lies within the church, not outside. In this sermon on Galatians 4:15 titled “False Teaching,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones focuses on the apostle Paul confronting false teaching within the church. Today, false teaching can be very subtle and creep its way into the believer's life. Dr. Lloyd-Jones points out that false teaching sometimes detracts from the Christian message. Other times, as in the case of the Galatians, it adds to the Christian message. Either way, false teaching leaves the believer conflicted and confused. Maybe the believer hasn't thoroughly embraced false teaching, but they are disturbed by it. In either case, the believer has lost their first happiness. How might the church safeguard herself against these dangers? Listen as Dr. Lloyd-Jones calls the church to embrace and cling to the original apostolic message. It cannot be subtracted from, and nothing can be added to it. There is joy in the Christian message.

Season 4, Episode 4 | Pastor Chad sits down with college freshman Stephen Riley to discuss his journey from a surface-level faith to a personal, growing relationship with God through Scripture, and to dive in to our next section of Galatians.

Welcome to the Grace in Focus podcast. Bob Wilkin and Ken Yates are answering a question about Galatians 1:15. Is this a verse teaching election and/or predestination? If so, what kind of predestination is it talking about? Is this about eternal life, service, task or purpose? Please listen each weekday to the Grace in Focus

Have you ever called your kid for dinner and heard “Coming!”—but they never show up? Our words don't always lead to action.But when God speaks, His words are action. The gospel isn't just advice—it's a rescue.In Galatians, Paul writes to people who knew the gospel but started slipping back into legalism. They began adding rules to grace—and Paul says, that's not just a mistake, that's losing the gospel entirely.In today's episode, we'll explore what real grace looks like, how to spot false gospels, and why even silence in the church can be dangerous.Let's dive into Galatians and walk in a new way.

Paul defends his theological position to the Galatians by explaining the difference between law and promise. Understanding these confusing verses is the key to unlocking how we should view all of Scripture.To learn more join us at RiverCityPGH.com or in person on Noble Street in the heart of Sunny Swissvale!

I could not do it over due to the storm.We continue to dive into James, 4:1-10. James explains to us to stop the fighting over our personal desires, and that includes how the church treats eat, other, how men should lead their homes and life, and us just wanting our desires over God.Bible Verse(s): James 4:1-10; Philippians2:3-4; Galatians 5:13-15-------------------------------------------Top 20 list at Feedspot: ⁠⁠https://podcast.feedspot.com/christian_men_podcasts/⁠⁠E: warriorwithin.christianmanhood@gmail.com|TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@pastorwarriorwithinMerch Store: https://wwcm-podcast.printify.me/productsRUMBLE: https://rumble.com/user/WarriorWithinPastor-----------------------------------------------------Affiliated with Talitha Coffee: ⁠https://talitha.com/pastordido⁠-----------------------------------------------------Track: Jim Yosef - Samurai [NCS Release] Music provided by NoCopyrightSounds.Watch:Free Download / Stream:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://NCS.io/Samurai⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Shame can be the central tool of a group. That tool is used to control or shape the behavior of members. Some entire cultures are known as Shame/Honor cultures. When a group exercises shame, it looks like the threat of being cast out, publicly censured, or humiliated. This becomes a powerful means of control. In Galatians 5:1, Paul writes: "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." Healthy faith communities liberate rather than subjugate. In this episode, we expand our look at shame to the group to which one belongs. Shame can become an invisible tool of control. Once you see it, you can't unsee it.

I'm joined by my friend Elizabeth Woodson—Bible teacher, author, and all-around theological powerhouse—to talk about Paul's letter to the Galatians. We dig into what it really means to be free in Christ, why Paul's transformation from persecutor to apostle matters so deeply, and how he surprisingly elevated the role of women in his ministry. Elizabeth shares wisdom from her new Bible study, Live Free, and together we unpack how belief in Jesus reshapes both our individual lives and our communities.Buy Elizabeth's Study:Live Free - Bible Study: A Study of GalatiansFollow Elizabeth:Instagram | TikTokSign up for weekly emails at RebeccaMcLaughlin.org/SubscribeFollow Confronting Christianity:Instagram | XProduced by ⁠⁠⁠⁠The Good Podcast Co.⁠⁠⁠⁠

You ever feel like you're doing all the right things… but nothing seems to change? Like following Jesus is just harder than you thought it'd be? In this classic teaching, Francis takes us deep into the fight we all face—the struggle to stay faithful when no one's watching. He takes us into Galatians 6, where we're reminded: Don't give up. Because God sees it all… and the harvest is coming.

In this message, Secondhand Spiraling, Pastors Levi and Jennie Lusko open up about what it's like to carry someone else's pain—and how to keep going when it gets heavy. Looking at Galatians 6:2 and what it means to carry one anothers burdens, they share their personal story of loss and healing, what actually helped in the hardest moments and how God showed when things felt scary. Whether you're supporting someone through a season of spiraling or feeling the weight of your own storm, this message will meet you with hope, honesty, and truth from God's Word.

Through clear, biblical teaching and personal insight, Will exposes how poor religious practices can distort the gospel and weigh down believers with shame, fear, and obligation. But the message doesn't stop there. This sermon shifts gears into the liberating truth of the resurrection and the arrival of the New Creation. What does it actually mean to be a Christian? What does true loyalty to Christ look like beyond rules, checklists, or cultural Christianity? If you've ever felt disillusioned by religion or burdened by trying to “earn” your place with God, this sermon offers hope, clarity, and the freedom found in the risen Jesus.

Oftentimes we find ourselves judging how we compare with others. We silently and even subconsciously create a ranking of people's status. This is a problem that has plagued every society in various ways. Galatians 3 shows us that there is a different way. The social and cultural walls that bring division come crashing down when we are one in Christ.

We have all experienced or heard the conversational question that sometimes gets asked when one person is getting to know another. “So, are you religious?” The response can be a myriad of differing replies, one of which is, “Yeah, I'm a Christian.” That answer usually puts the respondent into the broad and vague category of Christianity in the 21st century. The real question is, what does it mean to be a true Christian according to the original biblical meaning? If we put aside all of the tradition, all of the preconceived notions, and all of the countless denominations, what does the Bible say it means to be a genuine and sincere disciple of Jesus? Christianity is the world's largest religion with over 2.4 billion followers, but the key question is: how many are true followers of Christ versus simply identifying as Christians? The Bible explains that genuine Christianity revolves around complete reliance on and the complete following of Jesus. It acknowledges God's plan for salvation through His son. Scriptural passages like John 3:16-17 and 1 Peter 1:18-21 highlight Jesus' role as the Redeemer who saved humanity through his sacrifice. We are "new creatures" 2 Corinthians 5:17 emphasizes that being "in Christ" makes a person a "new creature," representing transformation and renewal. This is a much bigger deal than most of us think, as it has everything to do with being guided by God's spirit for the sake of personal growth in Christ and the sacrificing of our own will and desires. True discipleship requires self-denial and cross-bearing (Luke 9:23), which demonstrates commitment beyond passive belief. This commitment was foreshadowed in predestination found in Ephesians 1:3-6, which describes how faithful Christians as a class (not predestined as individuals) were chosen before the world's foundation for a holy calling. What about our own identity as Christians? Are our thoughts, words, actions and beliefs reflecting a deep and consistent engagement with God's plan? Many may admire Jesus, yet few fully follow him in action. Galatians 3:16, 26-29 ties Christian discipleship to the Abrahamic Covenant, illustrating how a true Christian inherits the spiritual promises given to Abraham to bless all the families of the earth. Christians are also likened to a "royal priesthood" and the "bride of Christ" (1 Peter 2:9-10, Ephesians 5:22-27). Both descriptions highlight our responsibility to serve God. Practical applications include self-sacrificing love (John 15:12-14) and mutual support within the "body of Christ" (1 Corinthians 12:14-20). The bottom line is that Christianity is a life of progression, sacrifice and commitment—not mere admiration.

Hello and thank you for joining us here at Gospel Community Church of Fayetteville, GA. This week Elder Kirk McDonald continues in the book of Galatians explaining why we cannot earn our way into heaven or into God's favor. It is not about our works. It's about the work of Jesus on the cross.

Freedom Isn't Free #Nightlight #RTTBROS Freedom Isn't Free - The Price of Liberty in Two Realms"Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage." Galatians 5:1 (KJV)The phrase "freedom isn't free" adorns monuments and memorials across our nation, reminding us that liberty always comes at a cost. Someone always pays the price for someone else's freedom.Our founding fathers understood this truth when they pledged "our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor" for independence. Generations of Americans have honored that pledge, paying freedom's price with their blood on foreign shores and domestic soil. They understood that some things are worth dying for, and liberty tops that list.But there's another freedom that came at an even greater cost—our spiritual liberty. "Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot" (1 Peter 1:18-19, KJV).Christ paid the ultimate price to free us from sin's tyranny. His sacrifice on the cross broke every chain that bound us to spiritual death and eternal separation from God. The freedom He purchased isn't just for this life—it's freedom that lasts forever.As we honor our military heroes today, let us also honor the Hero of Calvary. Both freedoms demand our gratitude and our commitment to live as free people, not returning to the bondage from which we've been delivered.Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros

Monday, 26 May 2025   But when they deliver you up, do not worry about how or what you should speak. For it will be given to you in that hour what you should speak; Matthew 10:19   “And when they should deliver you, not you should be disquieted how or what you should say. It will be given for you in that hour what you should say” (CG).   In the previous verse, Jesus informed the apostles that they would be brought before officials as a testimony to them and the Gentiles. He now continues with, “And when they should deliver you.”   This is referring to the act of taking these apostles to the forum where the leaders just mentioned sat, be it in a proconsul office or a speech to kings and others, such as occurred with Paul in Acts when he addressed Festus, Agrippa, and others. They would be taken before these men and asked to state their words concerning Jesus. At such a time, Jesus says, “not you should be disquieted how or what you should say.”   Jesus uses the same word, merimnaó, that He used 6 times in Chapter 6 to alleviate the concerns of the disciples, and by extension, the others who attended the Sermon on the Mount concerning various issues. The word gives the sense of being over-anxious.   The apostles, as they went forth, were not to be in such a state because, as Jesus next says, “It will be given for you in that hour what you should say.”   The meaning is that until that point, they may be curious about what they will say as a witness, but that curiosity shouldn't concern them. Rather at that very hour, when they are brought forward to speak, they will be given words suitable to the situation. The next verse will explain why Jesus says this to them.   Life application: Of the words of this verse, Cambridge says –   “Curiously enough this has been quoted as if it justified want of preparation for sermons or addresses to a Christian congregation.”   The words “curiously enough” indicate that the commentator understood that such a thought is nonsense. And yet, these words of Jesus are cited quite often by people as they claim they will be inspired by the Spirit to speak.   There is nothing to suggest that this is the case, and a proper understanding and application of context will tell the student of the Bible that such is not the case. This is especially to be considered true because a large majority of Christians don't know the Bible very well. They may not know sound doctrine at all.   If this is so, why would the Spirit of the Father work through people with opposing viewpoints on theology to make their case through leaders today? Rather, we have the Bible. It is our responsibility to learn it and then tell what we know as best we can to those who ask. This is why Peter says –   “And who is he who will harm you if you become followers of what is good? 14 But even if you should suffer for righteousness' sake, you are blessed. ‘And do not be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled.' 15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear; 16 having a good conscience, that when they defame you as evildoers, those who revile your good conduct in Christ may be ashamed. 17 For it is better, if it is the will of God, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil.” 1 Peter 3:13-17   Peter did not tell his hearers that they would be given words at a particular time concerning what to say. And Peter knew better than most that proper doctrine counts. His epistle came after his rebuke from Paul for not holding to sound doctrine, as is recorded in Galatians 2.   We are given brains to use. If we fail to use them in studying theology, we will not know proper theology. God is not going to bail us out when we stand before others, having failed to do our best to learn what His word says. Jesus' words are given in a particular context for a particular reason. Let us remember this and keep things in their proper context!   Lord God, it is true that Your word is big and complicated. It requires a lot of time and difficult thinking to get its almost infinite number of nuances. And so, please be with us as we study and prepare ourselves to present our defense for the hope that is in us. Guide our minds now to prepare so that we will be prepared when needed. Amen.  

Galatians 5: 13, 19-21

John 15: I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. (NIV) John 15:8 This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples. (NIV) 1. Bear Fruit by How You Live John 15:8-10 This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples. 9 “As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. 10 If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love (NIV) Psalm 1:1–2 Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; 2 but his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. (ESV) Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. (NKJV) Galatians 5:19-21 When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear: sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division, 21 envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other sins like these. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God. (NLT) Psalm 1:3 He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers. (ESV) 
 2. Bear Fruit by How You Love John 15:10-12 If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love 11 I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. 12 My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. (NIV) Proverbs 11:25 A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed. (NIV)
 3. Bear Fruit by How You Last John 15:16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you. (NIV) Colossians 3:23-24 “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.” (NIV)

Pastor Andy Cass What if your freedom wasn't just for you? This week, we explore the Breastplate of Righteousness and what it really means to stand strong, serve boldly, and stay protected in the battle for your heart. TEXT: Galatians 5:13, Ephesians 6:11–14, Matthew 11:30, Proverbs 4:23, Galatians 3:27, Zechariah 3, Ephesians 4:22–23, Psalm 106:3, Matthew 6:33 NOTES: "The enemy's tactic is not a full-on attack, but a slow, subtle unraveling—“1% off course.” “Indeed the safest road to Hell is the gradual one…” —Screwtape Letters Wearing righteousness isn't just about defense—it's about action, identity, and mission. Don't forget why you wear it: Protection, Identity, and Purpose. “Right not because of your rightness, but by God's righteousness.” “Once clothed by self, now clothed in Christ.” “We're instructed to Dress Right while Doing the Right things." The devil won't try to take your breastplate of righteousness off, he'll try to deconstruct it over time.” “Keep your plate on while refusing to pry others' off.”
