A simple Bible study in Galatians 4, looking at our adoption into God's family, and freedom from bondage.

GREAT GRACE & FREEDOM #8: ADOPTION AND FREEDOM FROM BONDAGE OPENING QUOTE: “One of the tragedies of legalism is that it gives the appearance of spiritual maturity when, in reality, it leads the believer back into a “second childhood” of Christian experience.” (Warren ...read more

Saving Grace Series

Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Oct 14, 2022

1) Abraham’s justifying faith did not come by his circumcision (Romans 4:9–12); it did 2) not come by his keeping the law (vv. 13–15); but rather 3) it came solely by God’s grace (vv. 16–17).

Romans 4:9-17. 9 Is this blessing then only for the circumcised, or also for the uncircumcised? For we say that faith was counted to Abraham as righteousness. 10 How then was it counted to him? Was it before or after he had been circumcised? It was not after, but before he was circumcised. 11 He ...read more

I’ve Grown Accustomed To His Grace Series

Contributed by Michael Blitz on Jul 19, 2013

We can grow casual about God's Grace, and we can think we can earn it. Grace is examined by looking at the Christians in Corinth and in Galatia, and examining their differences and similarities in how Paul writes to them.

I’ve Grown Accustomed to His Grace Dr. R.C. Sproul, a famous radio preacher, was assigned an Old Testament class of 250 freshmen. In his syllabus he clearly set forth the course requirements.

Experiments In Forgiving Series

Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Sep 11, 2021

In Matthew 5:38-42 we see Jesus presenting us God’s standard as an Experiment for us in Forgiving. Jesus outlines: 1) The Principle of Mosaic Law (Matthew 5:38), and gives four illustrations on: 2) The Perspective of Divine Truth (Matthew 5:39-42).

Matthew 5:38-42 [38]"You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.'[39] But I say to you, Do not resist the one who is evil. But if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. [40] And if anyone would sue you and take your tunic, let ...read more

You're Justified Only Through Faith In Christ Alone

Old Testament Law And The New Testament Christian Series

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Jun 22, 2015

Paul said in Romans 6:14, “we are not under law but under grace”. So does that mean the law has no value to us? If we think because we are a Christian under the new covenant we don’t have to pay any attention to the old covenant we are mistaken.

“OLD TESTAMENT LAW AND THE NEW TESTAMENT CHRISTIAN” Matthew 5:17-20 INTRODUCTION: (‘I tell you the truth’-first instance we find this phrase is in Mt. 5). We might think that because we are a Christian and under the new covenant, as I talked about last week in the ...read more

The Greater Righteousness - Matthew 5:20-21 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Aug 3, 2024

How can Jesus say anger is equivalent to murder? Killing a human being has such greater consequences and is so much more extreme. This message will show how the two sins have the same DNA and will expose how even our best efforts to obey God’s Word can degenerate into legalism.

Matthew 5:19-26 Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I tell you that unless your righteousness ...read more

Author Of Liberty

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Feb 7, 2025

Why do you suppose it is that people find it so difficult to understand that real freedom only comes when we obey God?

It’s a risky thing to mix politics and religion. It’s too easy to confuse the two. And if I remember correctly, one of the major bones of contention during my predecessor’s tenure was over that very thing: whether or not it was proper to have the American flag in the sanctuary.

The Present State Of Israel Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Feb 23, 2020

We have seen the present state of Israel; they are lost. That is their condition today. They are lost just as the Gentiles are lost. The reason is that Christ is the end of the law of righteousness. Now Paul turns from the sovereignty of God to the responsibility of man.

"they Have Done Violence To The Law"

The priests of Israel had done violence to the law (Zephaniah 3:4). God upholds His words.

Introduction. Just before the Babylonian captivity, when the priests had taken the authority of God’s words lightly, God considered that violence had been done to His law (Zephaniah 3:4).

Our Just God Series

Contributed by Brian Bill on May 13, 2003

Justice is not an external system to which God tries to adhere. He didn’t have to go to law school or get a TV courtroom to learn how to apply the law. His justice comes out of his inner being and is based on His holiness, His truthfulness, and His righ
