From Slaves To Siblings Series

Contributed by David Dykes on Sep 5, 2013

Do you realize how much God really loves you? The answer to that question has to be, "No." Because you can never comprehend the height, the breadth, and the depth of God's love for you.

Paul’s Version Of The Christmas Story Series

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Dec 15, 2020

Sometimes it isn't easy to explain the Christmas story, or the reason why Jesus was born into this world. For a good number of people in Galatia, they didn't understand so Paul was led to explain it to them.

Introduction: many of us are familiar with the stories of Jesus’ birth, as recorded in Matthew’s and Luke’s gospels. Paul seemed to know the story, too, but he never seemed to say much about it in his messages or his letters. He did explain the story to the Galatian believers, though, and this ...read more

"the Tale Of Two Mothers" Series

Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Feb 2, 2023

No, it's not about the two mothers before King Solomon. It's the question "Who is Your Mother" ... Sarah or Hagar? Freedom in the promise of God's grace, or still living under the law given at Sinai. Figurative language used by Paul regarding two covenants.

Grace From Galatians (7 0f 19)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 7, 2022

The false religions of the world have one thing in common. They all desire to put people under bondage. Why do they want to put people under bondage? This is their way of keeping their members under their control.

For example to understand that, we have to consider a dictator like Saddam Hussein. Why did he use intimidation, torture and death as a means to control the people of Iraq? The people in Iraq were afraid to say anything bad about him for fear that he would have them killed. Illus: Let me give you ...read more

Adopted Sons Of God

Contributed by Boomer Phillips on Mar 9, 2022

This message looks at the concept of adoption. If we confess Jesus as Savior and Lord, we receive a new father, which is God the Father, and we become heirs of the kingdom. We are then able to call upon God as our Abba or Daddy.

Some of the most well-known words to the believer are the first six words of the Lord’s Prayer: “Our Father, who art in heaven.” Our Father - God is known as our heavenly Father. We pray to God as our Father, speak of Him as our Father, and even sing to Him as our Father. For example, one ...read more

What we want to see is that though timing may not be everything to Christmas it is plenty, and a focus on the timing of Christmas events can be quite revealing.

Timing may not be everything, but it is plenty. At the dedication service of the Statue of Liberty a boy was to wave a flag indicating that Senator William Evarts had finished his speech. This way the signal for men high in the head of the statue to let go of a giant French flag, which in turn ...read more
