What Laws Must We Keep Part 2

February 24, 2020

It’s been said that “habitual sin forges invisible chains and we then discover to our horror we don’t have the strength to break them.” Only in a relationship with God is sin dealt a death blow and does what the law can never do, bring love, joy and peace. With that being said the law has great value.  And today on Study The Word we’ll learn more about the law and its value through a study in Galatians chapter five.

A Study in the Book of Ruth
The book of Ruth is more than just a God ordained love story, although it is certainly that as well.  It reveals the extent of God’s kindness and grace. He accepted Ruth, once an outcast, into his chosen people, and went on to  honor her by  allowing King David and Jesus to be born of her lineage.  Pastor Thom explores the life of Ruth in his 13 message series entitled, Experience Hope in the Life of Ruth.  Request your copy today, on USB flash drive or CD, for a gift  of $25 or more.

In Galatians chapter five we are instructed on life in the Spirit. That the believer can really change from the inside out and for the better. Not that he or she “has to” but “wants to.” There’s no violation of the free moral agency.  We'll explore this and more today.

Contrary to popular thinking, it’s the Christian who’s the freest. That doesn’t mean, there won’t be a battle. But the difference is the Christian can win it by the Spirit’s help. Why then are so many Christians losing the fight against sin? It’s not because there aren’t resources available. God’s provided all that’s needed but they’re not relied upon.  That comes to our attention today through a study of Galatians chapter five.

In Galatians chapter five we’re warned about legalism and how to guard against it. First by helping us discern if legalism has crept into our lives. And then by addressing some critical issues, such as: Is there joy in your life? Do you have victory over sin? Are you confident of God’s love? Are you judgmental towards others?

We continue making our way through the New Testament book of Galatians. And in chapter five we’re told to stand strong in the freedom we have in Christ.

What kind of relationship do you have with the Lord? What kind do you desire? No doubt a loving and free relationship. But if there’s any doubt today’s Study The Word will help settle the issue. Last time we learned from Galatians five how legalism gets in the way of our relationship with the Lord. Today we’ll continue in that vein along with the remedy; to hold on to our free and loving relationship with our Lord, by grace.

In Galatians chapter four we find the many pitfalls in legalism. There’s the pretending or the hypocrisy, the loss of freedom, being quick to judge others, and perhaps the worst is the inability to enjoy the blessings God has provided you. Thankfully there’s a remedy as well.  Hear all about it today.

About Study the Word

Study the Word is a radio ministry of Calvary Chapel Lebanon, Pennsylvania. It features the teaching ministry of pastor Thom Keller.  As we go verse by verse through the Scriptures, our hearts desire is to encourage you to not only Study the Word, but seek to follow God and obey His Word.

About Pastor Thom Keller

Thom began teaching an inner-city Bible study in 1995. That love of teaching God’s word eventually led to the formation of Calvary Chapel Lebanon in October, 2001, with about 50 people meeting in an old hardware store. Our church ministry and philosophy centers on teaching God’s word chapter by chapter, verse by verse.

Prior to pastoring, Thom was president and general manager of Keller Brothers Ford, a third-generation family business that began in 1921.  After 8 years of bi-vocational ministry, in 2009, Thom sold the business and became a full-time pastor.

Thom and his wife, Sue, live near Schaefferstown. Thom and Sue enjoy snow skiing, mountain biking and motorcycle rides.  Thom has often said that he loves performing weddings because he loves being married!

Ted, pictured above is Sue’s brother who has lived with Thom and Sue since 2001.

“It has been an absolute joy to see the changes God is bringing about in the lives of individuals, marriages and families at Calvary Chapel. God’s word does not return void!”

Currently we have worship services Sunday morning at 8:00 AM, 9:30 AM and 11:00 AM at our church located at 740 Willow St.  Please introduce yourself when you stop by!
