Boasting In The Cross Series

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Aug 17, 2014

Paul concludes his Epistle by summarizing his arguments and by glorying in the Cross, which makes us free.

Free at last! Galatians is all about freedom…but if we’re not careful we can abuse it. Freedom is not a license to sin. Nor is it a lack of responsibility. New Hampshire’s motto is “Live free or die.” Our motto as Christians should be “Live holy or ...read more

Boast In The Lord Series

Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Mar 22, 2019

Paul gives three reasons for boasting only in the cross of Jesus Christ: 1) The cross has the power to free believers from the world’s bondage (Galatians 6:14b), 2) It has the power to do what the flesh cannot do, and 3) It has the power to bring salvation.

Galatians 6:14-18 [14] But far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. [15] For neither circumcision counts for anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation. [16] And as for all who walk by this rule, ...read more

Boasting In The Cross

Contributed by Boomer Phillips on Apr 30, 2021

By the resurrection Jesus overcame sin and death; but the cross is where He made atonement for sin. It was the cross in which Paul boasted, and the cross was central to his missions and preaching; therefore, it should be important to us.

In Galatians 6:14, the apostle Paul declared, “God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.” The resurrection is the power behind the Christian’s faith, for it was by the resurrection that Jesus overcame ...read more

No Boasting In The Law Series

Contributed by Bob Faulkner on Mar 12, 2024

One who would be justified must keep the entire law perfectly. Thus the Law condemns.

2:17. “Indeed you are called a Jew, and rest on the law and make your boast in God,” Following the authorized text and its Greek, that word “indeed” probably doesn’t fit. The word is an interjection used to show surprise and is most often translated “look” or “see”. Old English would be “behold.” ...read more

No Boasting Allowed! Series

Contributed by Bob Faulkner on Mar 20, 2024

Since we are saved by faith and not by works, there is no room for personal pride.

3:27 “Where is boasting then? It is excluded.” Why does Paul bring this up to begin with? Why suddenly talk about boasting? You have to go back to verse 1. He asks, “What advantage does the Jew have?” And the ordinary Jew will answer, “I’ve been circumcised,” or “I have the law,” or “My people ...read more

Speaking & Boasting Youth Sermon

Contributed by Youth Sermons on Sep 5, 2023

Our words have the power to bring life or death. We must be mindful of how we use them, ensuring they reflect our faith and the love of Christ.

James kicks off by saying that teachers and preachers are gonna be judged more strictly because their words carry a lot of weight. Our words can make a huge difference, and if we can get a handle on what we say, we can control our whole selves. Imagine this: You're playing a video game, and you're ...read more

His Law Cannot Make Him Righteous Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Apr 15, 2018

The Jew trusted his law to be all that he needed and the best education he could get. Thus he boasted in the God who gave that law. There is no doubt that many Jews felt they were immune from God’s judgment.

(8) HIS LAW CANNOT MAKE HIM RIGHTEOUS Romans 2:17-24 17 Indeed you are called a Jew, and rest on the law, and make your boast in God, Indeed you are called a Jew, and rest on the law.
