Grace, Faith, and Freedom in Galatians
The letter to the Galatians is relatively short—less than 150 verses. But its influence on Christians and the Church is undeniably profound as we struggle with the issues of grace and law, freedom and faith, the Holy Spirit and love.
Galatians is written with emotion and intensity. The apostle Paul doesn’t hide his feelings of frustration for his readers, nor his anger toward the folks who are stirring things up. And he packs almost every line with deep reminders about the Christian priorities of grace, faith, and freedom.
Grace: the very nature of what God has done for us in Christ unites us all, it eliminates special categories of people. We are given a commonality based on something other than ethnic, social, or gender distinctions.
Faith: this is the only appropriate response to grace. Faith is the sometimes quiet, sometimes reckless confidence in the goodness of our God, rooted in his eternal promises.
Freedom: a grace which leads to faith results in freedom—freedom to love, freedom to work, freedom to serve, and freedom to live with supreme confidence and joy.
Please join us at 10:15 Sunday mornings at GCR, beginning May 25, as we dive into this important biblical text.
To misunderstand grace, faith, and freedom is to lose out on the very heart of what God intends for you. But a firm grasp of these divine truths leads to a limitless assurance of victory, acceptance, and eternal life in Christ today and forever.

Identity Issues
The life, death, and resurrection of Jesus has changed everything. The authority and power of “Christ Alone” has rescued us from the present evil age and delivered us to a new age of salvation and life. But sometimes we act like the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus haven’t changed anything. In Galatians, Paul tells us Peter was “clearly in the wrong,” that Peter was not “acting in line with the truth of the Gospel.” What are our identity issues and what does it truly means to be changed by Jesus?
