Grace From Galatians (15 Of 19)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 8, 2022

The Bible has a great deal to say about Christians walking in the Spirit.

Illus: There's a man trying to cross the street. As he steps off the curb, a car comes screaming around the corner and heads straight for him. The man walks faster, trying to hurry across the street, but the car changes lanes and is still coming at him. So the guy turns around to go back, ...read more

Grace From Galatians (8 Of 19)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 7, 2022

One of the exciting things in the Christian life is to see someone come to know the Lord as their Savior. To know without a doubt that they have been gloriously saved from the bondage of sin.

However, one of the saddest things in the Christian life is to see someone who professes to know the Lord but lives their life in such a way as to cast doubt on their salvation. Illus: Evangelist Ding Teuling is often asked how many were converted in some of his meetings. He tells them he really ...read more

Grace From Galatians! (13 Of 19)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 8, 2022

This is the FIFTH APPEAL that Paul used to try and bring these Galatians to their spiritual senses. He is hoping they will reach a sensible solution to their problems.

But anytime you work with people and try to get them to arrive at the right conclusion, you find it is a difficult task to say the least. Some folks will go years and years making the same mistakes and getting the same results. It never seems to dawn on them that perhaps they are doing something ...read more

Grace From Galatians (19 Of 19)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 8, 2022

This passage of scripture concludes Paul’s letter to the Galatians.

In this letter we have been able to see: 1. Paul wrote to the Galatians out of a heart of love. 2. Paul wrote to the Galatians out of a heart of disappointment because they had so soon turned from the doctrine of grace to a false doctrine. 3. Paul wrote to the Galatians out of a heart of concern ...read more

Grace From Galatians (2 Of 19)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 7, 2022

At the beginning of the Book of Galatians, we saw that Paul dealt with two problems.

(1) HE HAD TO DEFEND HIS APOSTLESHIP Those who hated Paul were stating that he was not a true apostle. Ministers go into the ministry for a number of reasons: • Some think it is an easy job, SO WHY NOT • Some folks enjoy being in front of people • Some are in the ministry because Mommy wanted a ...read more

Grace From Galatians (16 Of 19)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 8, 2022

In the last sermon we dealt with the two choices we have as Christians. That is, we can: • Walk in the flesh • Walk in the Spirit

We also pointed out that the flesh is not sinful. The body in which we live is the temple of the Holy Spirit. HOW DO WE KNOW THESE BODIES ARE NOT SINFUL WITHIN THEMSELVES? Because this body in which we live is the same type of body in which Christ lived, and He was without sin. All sin resides ...read more

Grace From Galatians (6-19)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 7, 2022

It seems we make excuses and promises about many of the things we do. We do this in many ways, such as, each year we make promises to ourselves.

We call them New Year’s resolutions. But so often we MAKE THESE PROMISES and then we BREAK THEM! Illus: Did you hear about the man who got tired of making these promises and breaking them? He got so disgusted with himself that he came up with a list of Resolutions he felt he could keep. He said ...read more

Grace From Galatians (3 Of 19)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 7, 2022

In chapter one, we find Paul defending his calling and the gospel which he preached. There were those who were saying that he was a self-proclaimed minister preaching a false gospel.

Because of the things that are being said about Paul, he says some things about himself that might seem to be bragging in his defense. Look at Galatians 1:13-24, we read, “For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church ...read more

Grace From Galatians (18 Of 19)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 8, 2022

Remember that when we started the Book of Galatians we talked about how these false teachers attacked Paul. They stated: • He was not a true apostle • He was preaching a false gospel

Before Paul brings this letter to a close, he wants to deal with this subject sternly. The strategy that some use when they want to destroy a message is to destroy the messenger. This is the kind of strategy they were using against the apostle Paul. This is done in politics all the time. When ...read more

Grace From Galatians (4-19)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 7, 2022

As children, our parents told us things that they felt were best for us, but we often thought we knew more than they did.

Isn’t it amazing how children, in the short time they have been here on earth, seem to think they are able to accumulate more knowledge than us old timers who have been around 60 or 70 years? But in all fairness, I have met some parents whose children were smarter than they were, and that does not ...read more

Amazing Grace!

Contributed by John Kapteyn on Feb 12, 2007

Have you ever experienced grace in your life? Perhaps a policeman stoping you for speeding and just giving you a warning when you deserved a ticket. Perhaps a time when you said hurting words to a friend or spouse and they forgave you. Each one of us, at
