Dave Wolf, member of Del Ray Baptist ChurchGalatians (Lesson 7): 4:1-20Taught August 17, 2025
We live in a world that tells us “more is better," more success, more money, more recognition. But Jesus flips the script: less is more. From Roz in The Wild Robot to the Shunammite woman in 2 Kings, we see that real life isn't found in clinging to what looks valuable now, but in surrendering it to make room for something far greater. Paul reminds us in Galatians 5 that the fruit of the flesh leaves us empty, while the fruit of the Spirit fills us with life. This message challenges us to stop holding on to what keeps us comfortable and start aligning with God's will because when love is the root, sacrifice becomes the fruit.

This passionate sermon by Pastor Robert Tisdale at Tampa Life Church emphasizes the importance of purity, obedience, and eliminating compromises in one's spiritual life. Drawing from biblical narratives like the Passover in Egypt and the teachings of Jesus and Paul, Pastor Tisdale underscores the need for 'sweeping the house'—removing sin and influences that hinder spiritual freedom and growth. He highlights examples from both the Old and New Testaments, including the metaphor of yeast representing sin and impurity, and the impact of one person's actions on their community. The sermon encourages believers to stand firm in their faith, fight for their families, and resist the trends of normalization of compromising behaviors, ultimately inspiring them to create a legacy of obedience and blessing.00:00 Getting Ready for Urgent Matters00:18 The Night in Egypt: A Prelude to Freedom01:03 The Command to Sweep the House01:59 The Symbolism of Yeast and Purity02:29 God's Fast Deliverance02:59 The Call to Sweep the House05:08 The Annual Tradition of Unleavened Bread06:11 Paul's Warning to the Galatians07:25 Jesus' Teachings on Leaven08:21 The Leaven of the Pharisees, Sadducees, and Herod11:06 The Story of Aiken's Sin14:35 The Rechabites' Obedience18:07 The Importance of Consistency and Obedience22:52 The Power of Small Things24:49 Shamma's Stand Against the Philistines29:30 The Call to Stand Firm and Fight32:04 Fighting for What Matters32:34 The Power of Standing Firm36:06 Learned Helplessness and Overcoming It43:09 The Importance of Small Things46:02 A Call to Action and Prayer50:23 Fighting for Family and Faith55:30 Breakthrough and Joy

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other. Galatians 5:22-261. KIND PEOPLE UNDERSTAND WHERE KINDNESS COMES FROM But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, 5 he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, Titus 3:4-5God showed us kindness first - we don't earn it, we receive itApplication: You can only give what you've receivedPractical: Start each day remembering how God has been kind to you. Explain how you pray/meditate on the fruit of the Spirit2. KIND PEOPLE CHOOSE TO BE KIND EVEN WHEN IT'S HARD But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. Luke 6:35Real kindness costs something - time, energy, pride, moneyIt's easy to be kind to kind people; Jesus calls us to moreApplication: Kindness is a choice, not a feelingPractical: This week, show kindness to someone who's been difficultKindness is love in work clothes."The Point: The businessman had knowledge, success, and resources. But the custodian had something more powerful - a heart transformed by God's kindness. His kindness wasn't just polite behavior; it was the overflow of someone who had experienced grace.The Application: True kindness doesn't depend on your circumstances, your status, or how others treat you. It flows from understanding how lavishly God has treated you. When you've been forgiven much, you can't help but show mercy to others."We love because he first loved us" 1 John 4:19. Our kindness is simply a reflection of the kindness we've received from God."As we have opportunity, let us do good to all people..."Opportunities are everywhere when you have "kind eyes."Small acts create a big impactApplication: Be intentionally aware of the needs around youPractical: CONEXPO Sign Up! Relationships and ResponsibilitiesMarriage Kindness ChallengeGospel Turn:4. GOD'S KINDNESS ALWAYS LEADS US HOME TO HIMOr do you show contempt for the riches of his kindness, forbearance and patience, not realizing that God's kindness is intended to lead you to repentance? Romans 2:43. KIND PEOPLE LOOK FOR OPPORTUNITIES TO SERVE 7 Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. 8 Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. 9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. 10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers. Galatians 6:7-10

Are you being shaped more by the world's algorithm—or by the Spirit's?In this message, “The Algorithm of the Spirit” Pastor Jason unpacks how the Holy Spirit reprograms our lives with truth, power, and mission. Just like social media feeds you content based on your clicks, the Spirit guides believers into God's best—filtering out lies, strengthening identity, producing fruit, and leading us on Kingdom mission.
In this message, Pastor David Bendett unpacks the biblical truth behind *toil*—the exhausting labor and striving that came as a result of the curse in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3:17-19). Through Scripture, we discover that Jesus Christ has redeemed us from this curse (Galatians 3:13), granting us freedom from fear, stress, worry, and endless striving. Instead, God calls us into a life of peace, rest, and joy as we walk with Him and allow His Spirit to lead us. From the blessings of Psalm 128 to the invitation of Jesus in Matthew 11:28-30, this sermon reminds us that we no longer labor alone—we are co-laborers with Christ (1 Corinthians 3:9). It's time to stop spinning in weariness and start living in Kingdom rest.
Do you want to hear God's voice more clearly?Collin Hoke shares how walking in step with the Holy Spirit brings clarity, focus, and transformation. Using Paul's words in Galatians 5, we'll discover that hearing God isn't just about spiritual techniques—it's about aligning our daily rhythm to His beat. When we sync our lives with the Spirit's tempo, God's voice becomes clearer and His fruit flows naturally. But competing “off-beat” rhythms—like selfishness, division, envy, and idolatry—can muddy that clarity.In this sermon, you'll learn:- Why hearing God starts with loving God and others- How to recognize when you're “off-beat” spiritually- The slow drift that pulls you away from God's rhythm- Simple daily practices to keep in step with the Spirit- Why repentance is the “first beat” to hearing God clearlyKey Scriptures:- Galatians 5:13-25 — Walk in step with the Spirit- Ephesians 1:13 — Sealed with the Holy Spirit- Matthew 22:37–39 — Love God, love othersSearch Keywords:walking in the Spirit, Galatians 5 sermon, hearing God's voice, fruit of the Spirit, keeping in step with the Spirit, Christian spiritual growth, how to hear God clearly, obeying God, daily spiritual habits, love God love othersDon't just try to “hear” God—start walking in His rhythm, and you'll begin to recognize His voice every day.Like, Subscribe, and share this message with someone who wants to grow in step with the Spirit.
In this message we will see how Paul calls the Galatians ( and us ) back to the one true Gospel that sets us free, guards us from distortion, and anchors our identity in God’s grace.
Text for today's message: Galatians 6:2
Pastor Troy Dobbs discusses the importance of sharing the weight of burdens with other Christians. He walks through the scriptures and highlights how Paul is urging the Galatians help in spiritual restorations of their fellow Christians by standing with them and guiding them through trials.

In today's episode Mike speaks with Mike Shreve about how growing up Catholic and yoga has lead to a new transformation. "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 2:20
I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Saturday morning, the 16th of August, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We go straight to the Book of Galatians 3:2-3. The Lord says: “This only I want to learn from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now being made perfect by the flesh?” Jesus Christ is our only source of salvation. We have got to stop striving and trying to earn God's favour. You can't work your way to Heaven. It is for free. His love and His favour are free. Free means gratis, for nothing - not for nothing, it cost Jesus Christ His life, so that your sins and my sins could be washed away. You see, you can't pay for it, you can't work for it, and you can't earn it! You have just got to believe it.That beautiful scripture in Ephesians 2:8:"For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,…” What a beautiful scripture, and we thank the Lord for it, because that is where you and I can put our trust and hope in. We only have to believe. Now let's finish this race, you and I, the way we started, by just saying thank you to the Lord. He paid for it all. Remember that little song? We have sung it before. It goes like this:He paid a debt He did not oweI owed a debt I could not payI needed someone to wash my sins away.And now I sing a brand new songAmazing graceChrist Jesus paid a debt that I could never pay!I am going to sing it again because I want you to hear these words. I am listening to them myself. It is good news, my friend. It's wonderful!He paid a debt He did not oweI owed a debt I could not payI needed someone to wash my sins away.And now I sing a brand new songAmazing graceChrist Jesus paid a debt that I could never pay!Father, I pray for my friend listening to this message, that he or she will understand one thing today - our way to Heaven is not by good works. It is by believing that Jesus Christ died for all of my sins.God bless you and goodbye.

We don't tiptoe around culture. We don't apologize for conviction. We don't run from the furnace. We step in, shoulder to shoulder with the King.On today's C-Suite for Christ podcast, we talk about a man who lived it. Clayton Kershaw. Cy Young winner. World-class pitcher. But today, we celebrate something bigger than an arm. We celebrate a backbone.When the world told him to fit in, to fly the rainbow flag, to bow to comfort, Kershaw said, “No.” He didn't shout. He didn't rage. He wrote a Bible verse on his Pride-themed hat. Quiet defiance. Holy courage.The world mocked him. The critics lined up. The backlash was fierce. But he reminded a nation: JESUS IS STILL LORD. His is the only approval that matters.Brothers and sisters, what will you do when your moment of truth arrives? Will you wilt? Or will you stand?Buckle up. This one's raw, real, and rooted in truth.Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ. (Galatians 1:10) Key Takeaways:10:50 - Isn't this rich? Isn't this all incredibly ironic? They want to bring sexual ideology into the stadium, but the moment someone brings in scripture, they call it offensive. They say, you're out of line. Now, let me be blunt here. So there's no ambiguity, so we're all on the same page. What they're really saying is that anything goes except Christianity. But guess what? There was also a groundswell of support. Christians across the country applauded him... But unlike certain publicity hounds in society today, Clayton wasn't looking for applause. He wasn't trying to be a culture warrior. He was just trying to be faithful. That's the mark of a true disciple. 22:39 - If you're more afraid of a hashtag than of hell, your priorities are way messed up. So many Christians are more afraid of what two people they've never met are going to say than spending eternity in hell. That stops now. And that starts with us.24:30 - Silence in the face of sin is complicity. Refusing to speak truth is refusing to love... You can't preach about grace and avoid judgment. You can't be a follower of Christ and refuse to carry His cross.Connect with Paul NeubergerWebsite
Jesus Followers Are Expected to Serve the Needs of Others and to Reflect Jesus to Others as We Serve their Needs – “To Serve is Christ” MESSAGE SUMMARY: You will never be more like Jesus than when you are serving others; and your best way to witness to non-believers is for them to see Jesus in you. Your best example of service is Jesus. To serve is Christ. Jesus instructed us, regarding serving others, in Mark 10:45: “For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”. Jesus, the Son of Man, did not come to be served but to serve and to give His life as a ransom for many. If Jesus came, lived, and died on earth as a servant, why would you, as a Jesus Follower, not realize that you are expected to serve? If, as Paul tell us in Romans 8:28-29, we are being conformed into the image of Jesus, then we are being taught how to serve: “And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.". To serve is to live as a reflection, to others, of Jesus in you. TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, fill me with the simple trust that even out of the most awful evil around me, you are able to bring great good — for me, for others, and for your great glory. In Jesus' name, amen. Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 91). Zondervan. Kindle Edition TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, because of I am filled with the Holy Spirit, I will not be controlled by my Evil Ways. Rather, I will walk in the Spirit's fruit of Goodness. “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” (Galatians 5:22f).

A Recovery Place, Masquerading as a Church | Tullian Tchividjian | "Vagrants of Grace, Part 01"Galatians 3:1-4; 5:1
Friday, 15 August 2025 But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you. Matthew 12:28 “And if in God's Spirit I, I eject the demons, then it preceded upon you, the ‘God's kingdom'” (CG). In the previous verse, Jesus trapped the Pharisees with a question concerning the casting out of demons by their sons, meaning their disciples. With that complete, He now states a proposition to be accepted or rejected by the hearer, beginning with an emphatic statement, “And if in God's Spirit I, I eject the demons.” Jesus has just clearly demonstrated that He cannot be ejecting demons by Beelzebul, something the Pharisees would have to grant based on His logic. Understanding that it is not by Beelzebul, then it must be from another source. In fact, it can only be from one source. And so He says, “then it preceded upon you, the ‘God's kingdom.'” Here is a new word, phthanó (ff-than-oh), to precede, as in arriving ahead of time. Because of this, it is an arrival “before something which indicates priority in importance or sequence” (HELPS Word Studies). The use of this word by Jesus indicates that He had already been on the scene, performing healings and miracles while preaching the gospel, but the people didn't realize that He was who He, in fact, turned out to be. One might paraphrase the thought, “Jesus walked among us, and before we knew it, He had revealed Himself to be the Messiah.” The sense of the word can be seen from Paul's description of the rapture in 1 Thessalonians 4:15 – “For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede (phthanó) those who are asleep.” Jesus cast out demons. He was accused of having derived His authority from Beelzebub. He demonstrated that such could not be the case. Therefore, what He had accomplished was evidence that what He did was from God, and thus God's kingdom had already come upon them. As usual, the spiritual leaders of Israel missed the boat in understanding the significance of the events around them. Today, two thousand years later, they sit in synagogues and miss the fact that God's kingdom has come, rejecting Jesus, and thus rejecting their only hope of salvation. Life application: It is common in evangelical Christian circles for people to give Jews a pass on not accepting Jesus, as if they are ok without Him. This comes in varying degrees. The most extreme case of this heresy is that of dual covenantalism, something preached by John Hagee. It is also the set doctrine of the Roman Catholic Church. Even if it is not openly taught, it is in their doctrinal writings. Others may not openly understand or accept this doctrine, but they still hold to it in their thinking, trying to rationalize away why Jews are ok with God because they are “God's people,” even while understanding that Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, etc., are condemned without Jesus. This attitude stems from a failure to understand who “God's people” are at a given time. Hosea prophesied of a time when His people would no longer be His people, but those who were not His people would be His people. Paul explains this in Romans 9-11. While the Jews are out of God's favor, they are “God's people” only in anticipation of restoration. However, they are not His people for salvation. Rather, that belongs to those -Jews and Gentiles – who have received Jesus. They are a part of the church. That day will end at the rapture, and a simple question clears up the heretical notion that the Jews today are “God's people.” Will the Jews who don't believe in Jesus be taken at the rapture? The answer is obvious, “No.” Rather, they as a collective group will go through the tribulation. This proves that they are not now “God's people” except in anticipation of restoration. The Christian community would do far better by evangelizing Jews than by proclaiming that they are God's people, thus bolstering the idea in their minds (meaning the Jews) that they think Christians believe they are right with God. Without Jesus, there is no salvation. Remember the basic equation – In proper theology, one plus one will always equal two. “‘I know that you are Abraham's descendants, but you seek to kill Me, because My word has no place in you. 38 I speak what I have seen with My Father, and you do what you have seen with your father.' 39 They answered and said to Him, ‘Abraham is our father.' Jesus said to them, ‘If you were Abraham's children, you would do the works of Abraham. 40 But now you seek to kill Me, a Man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. Abraham did not do this. 41 You do the deeds of your father.'” John 8:37-41 Being a descendant (physically descended from) Abraham does not mean one is a child of Abraham from a spiritual perspective. Rather – “Therefore He who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you, does He do it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?— 6 just as Abraham ‘believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.' 7 Therefore know that only those who are of faith are sons of Abraham. 8 And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel to Abraham beforehand, saying, ‘In you all the nations shall be blessed.' 9 So then those who are of faith are blessed with believing Abraham.” Galatians 3:5-9 Glorious God, help to get our thinking right in relation to what You are doing in redemptive history. Too many reject Israel because of their misdeeds, as if they no longer have the promises of the prophets. But too many fail to acknowledge that without Jesus, the Jews stand condemned. Help us to have clarity of thought, and to pray for and evangelize to this beloved, set-aside group of people. Amen.
Christians are no longer under the dominion of sin. As we grow in sanctification, we must put to death the old desires of the flesh. From his sermon series in the book of Galatians, today R.C.
