    There are many church, synagogue & mosque members today devoted to rituals & rule-keeping. They are living in religious bondage. They need to hear that spiritual freedom is possible only through the grace of God in Jesus Christ.

    GALATIANS 4:8-20 AN APPEAL OF LOVE The conclusion reached in verse 7 is that those who have received the Spirit are now sons and heirs of God. Paul now tells the Galatians they are not acting like heirs of God! So he asks them if they prefer slavery or freedom, legalism or the Spirit? Did ...read more

    Do we embrace the status of slaves or sons? Our relationship to God gives us the courage to take a stand for truth.

    Introduction: Last time we were faced with a choice: Do we trust the Law to save us, or the Promise of God? Today we have a similar decision: Do we embrace the status of slaves or sons? Verses 1-10 On the way to the Promised Land, the Israelites grumbled and wished they had stayed in Egypt. ...read more

    A look at the privileges of sonship to God that we have through Jesus.

    The 1860’s were hard years in MO. Being a “border state,” the civilians of MO were often the victims of abuses by both Union and Confederate troops, not to mention the number of looters who just roamed the countryside and took advantage of the general disarray of the country. ...read more

    Paul explains that returning to the Law is not a step toward maturity, but a step backwards to childhood.

    Introduction: A. Children love to answer the question: “What do you want to be when you grow up?” 1. I read an online article where the writer asked a 2010, a preschool class the question about what they wanted to be when they grew up and here are some of their answers: “When I ...read more

    There’s no joy in religious legalism. Joyless religion is like going into a nice restaurant and eating the paper menu instead of enjoying the food.

    INTRODUCTION We’ve all seen special-occasion cakes that have a message spelled out in the frosting. There’s a collection of pictures of funny messages called Cake Wrecks. Apparently, some of these cake decorators had someone order a cake over the phone and they took their verbal ...read more

    Modern-Day Legalism (Part 1) Series

    Contributed by Greg Powell on Sep 23, 2020
    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,275 views

    We have seen how legalism in Paul’s day added works to salvation, but that is largely not what modern-day legalism is in the church now. Legalism for us applies in the area of how we perceive our sanctification and how we portray our spirituality to others.

    INTRO: I need to explain what is going on with the next couple of messages. We have dipped our toe in the water of legalism as it has been addressed in the book of Galatians so far. I am going to take a couple messages and jump into the entire pool of what legalism looks like for us today. We ...read more

    Legalism is potentially such a damaging, deceitful, and depressing way to view the Christian life.

    INTRO: I’ve tried to be very clear and practical at each point in this topic about what legalism is, what it does, and what it looks like. We spent the last message covering the statements a legalist might say, the specifics of legalism as far as the actual fundamental definitions of this way of ...read more
