The Illustration Of Faith Series

Contributed by Greg Powell on Aug 19, 2020

As an example of salvation by faith and not works, Paul uses the Jews own patriarch Abraham against them!

INTRO: Let’s review...we have been talking about works versus faith.

The Importance Of Faith Series

Contributed by Greg Powell on Aug 19, 2020

Paul anticipates the Judaizers next objection since they were huge fans of the law of Moses. In general, they recognized the importance of the Abrahamic covenant, but they gave priority to the Mosaic covenant. This led them to emphasize law over faith.

The Identity Of Faith Series

Contributed by Greg Powell on Aug 19, 2020

INTRO: Galatians 3 has been a history lesson through the Old Testament. One of the more complicated chapters of Paul’s writings, it’s been a difficult hike, but like many hard journeys, there is a rewarding view at the end. We have climbed the mountain peaks of Abraham and Moses and have seen ...read more

Superstition Or Faith? Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Aug 31, 2020

Biblical Christianity is superior to magic and superstition. Yet we need to rout our superstition in our own lives, too. Biblical faith has no room for superstition.

Superstition or Faith? (Acts 19:11-20) 1. I think it is bad luck to believe in superstition. That’s a joke. “The number 13, black cats, breaking mirrors, or walking under ladders, may all be things you actively avoid – if you’re anything like the 25% of people in the US who consider themselves ...read more
