Legalism Is Sin & Slavery (Galatians 2)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Apr 17, 2024

Are we under law or faith? Is circumcision in the flesh still necessary? Let's find out in Galatians 2.

Paul was directly taught by the resurrected Jesus, but was not a rebel. He cooperated with the Apostles before him. Was the commandment to be circumcised still valid in the flesh, that is, in the letter of the law? Is there a spiritual application of the law of circumcision? Are works of the law ...read more

Part 7 in a 14-part series of studies I call “The Christian Character” as described by Jesus to a crowd of people on a Galilean hillside as he delivered what is more familiarly known as the “Sermon on the Mount.” This part considers blessedness in persecution and insults.

Sermon; The Pentecost Effect - Paul’s Encounter On The Road To Damascus

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Jun 18, 2024

Misguided zeal is dangerous. The things that most threaten the Gospel and the abundance and freedom in Jesus Christ are caused by misguided zeal. Some things may appear to be good, maybe even seem godly, yet stand in the way of the gospel.

Vision Of The Lord Series

Contributed by Jim Drake on Oct 1, 2007

Just as Israel had a skewed picture of God, sometimes we do too. Instead of seeing God in His fullness, we only pick out certain attributes to focus on like His love and mercy. Do we see God as He is, or made Him into somthing He isn’t?

1. How do you see the Lord? The Lord reveals Himself as: a. A seeking God (1b-3a) b. A sovereign God (3b-8) c. A sifting God (9-10) d. A saving God (11-15) 2. How does the Lord see you? a. If you don’t see Him as He’s revealed Himself, He will show Himself to you as Judge (8-10) b. If you see ...read more

Grace And Risk
