Is Serving God A Sacrifice? Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Jul 6, 2025

“Sacrifice” for God is appropriate only when driven by joy. God must always remain the benefactor when we serve.

Such earnestness comes in large measure from emotion – both negative and ...read more

Faith Not Legalism (Galatians 3)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Apr 18, 2024

Did Jesus say that until heaven and earth pass away, obedience to the law remains? Did the apostles contradict Him? Let's find out in Galatians 3.

Paul explained how we are justified by grace through faith, not works of the law. How is Abraham a model for Christians? Who are the real children of Abraham? What about Christians who insist on the works of the law? Is the law continued in spirit, discontinued in the letter, and thus transformed ...read more
