    The Book Of Galatians – Chapter 1:2-10 - Message 2 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jan 27, 2023
     | 1,770 views

    Paul takes on the false teachers with no holes barred. Twice he states that they be accursed. This message examines the false gospel that had ensnared the Galatian churches to bring the grace of God into disrepute. True grace of God has no part in keeping the Law.

    THE BOOK OF GALATIANS – CHAPTER 1:2-10 - MESSAGE 2 This message continues from Part 1 (A). PAUL’S COMPANIONS IN UNITY AND CONFIRMATION {{Galatians 1:2 “and all the brethren who are with me, to the churches of Galatia.”}} This wonderful truth of brotherhood strengthens the purpose of the ...read more

    There is one truth that remains immovable: the Lord is faithful. And when you know that God is faithful, you can go—and trust Him completely.

    Do you have the heart a mouse or the heart of an eagle? Let me answer that for you. God has not given you the heart of a mouse. He has given you the heart and the spirit of an eagle so that by His strength and by His power you will be able to soar to greater and greater and greater heights.

    A paratrooper was once asked how many times he had jumped out of an airplane while he was in the military. “None,” he said. “What do you mean ‘none,’” his friend asked, “I thought that you were a paratrooper in the service.” “I was,” he answered, “but I never jumped … I was pushed out of the ...read more

    Why Hope? Series

    Peter calls on the Christians in his day to have hope much like Martin Luther King Jr. did in his day. Peter says, “I command you to be hopeful though you are suffering greatly.”

    Sometimes our hope is invisible. The last words of dying people have always fascinated me. They are so revealing of a person's heart and soul. John Wilkes Booth who assassinated President Lincoln said only two words at his death: “Useless. Useless.” These are words of hopelessness. Fox News ...read more

    Jesus Walks On The Water Series

    The Bible is not an ordinary book; it is God’s inspired Word to mankind. It is a spiritual compass, a manual for righteous living, and a powerful tool that shapes the lives of those who study and apply it.
