It's a Matter of Choice, Part 1

June 12, 2015
We are in the book of Galatians chapter 4 and pastor Jeff is starting at vs 8. The Apostle Paul begins to spiritually spank the Galatians for their legalistic and religious practices. Christ has rescued us from the bondage of sin and legalism, but mans nature is to run back to it. Pastor Jeff teaches us that these things are elementary, and we need to remain spiritually mature in Christ. Stay tuned for a message called, “It’s A Matter Of Choice.”
References: Galatians 4:8-12

Thanks for joining us today on a Thursdays edition of SDR. We have been going through the series Pastor Jeff has titled, “Be Free and Grow Up”. The Apostle Paul declared, “When I was a child, I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child. But when I grew up, I put away childish things.” He went on to say “abide in faith, hope, love.” We are not exhorted to abide in legalism, that’s childish. We’ll hear more about this in the conclusion of “Be Free and Grow Up.”

Thanks for joining us today on SDR. We are at the conclusion of Pastor Jeff’s series titled, “The Promise and the Law." It's been such an encouraging lesson that our righteousness, hope and future is not based on the Law, but on Christ. Jesus gave us the inheritance to the promises of God by believing in Him. No works are needed, no religious catechisms required, but the Word says, the just shall live by faith. Stay tuned for the conclusion of The Promise and the Law.

Recently a man from Alabama was released from spending 30 years in prison for a crime he did not commit. He will never see his prison cell again because he was found innocent based on new evidence. The Apostle Paul is making the case for liberty from the Law. Because of the evidence of Christ’s life and work on Calvary, humanity has been set free from the death sentence the Law brought. Join Pastor Jeff as he begins Part 2 of the series called, The Promise and the Law.

Thanks for joining us today on the 2nd half of our new series called, The Promise and the Law. Pastor Jeff is taking us through the Apostle Paul's doctrine of the promise, which came through Abraham and not through the Law. Abraham predates the Law, and Christ fulfills that Law. Now sitting in liberty, we can see God's promise complete in the person and work of Jesus Christ. Stay tuned for the 2nd half of The Promise and the Law.

Concerning the Law Martin Luther said, “The Law brings sin, death, and the wrath of God to light. This is the business of the Law, and here the business of the Law ends, and should go no further.” The promise came by the Seed of Abraham, not by the Law. Christ, the seed of Abraham, fulfilled the law ushering in the promise of grace! Join Pastor Jeff as he begins a message called, “The Promise and the Law.”

The religious leaders of Paul and Jesus' day took pride in their heritage. They thought they were saved because of their heritage. The same is still true for us today. Our salvation is not based upon our parents' relationship with God but by our own personal relationship with Christ. Join us as we conclude a 3-part study called, “Are You a Son of Abraham?“
