Children of Abraham | Sermon on Galatians 3:7-14
Amen. And now we can turn to the scriptures. Our first scripture reading this morning begins in Genesis chapter 11, starting at verse 27. Now these are the generations of Terah. Terah fathered Abram, Nehor, and Haran; and Haran fathered Lot. Haran died in the presence of his father Terah in the land of his kindred, in Ur of the Chaldeans. Abram and Nehor took wives; the name of Abram’s wife was Sarai, and the name of Nehor’s wife Milka,…
Faith or Works | Sermon on Galatians 3:1-9
Amen. Our scripture reading this morning we turn back to Paul’s letter to the Galatians, beginning with the third chapter, the first verse. If you’ll join me, please: ‘Oh foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? It was before your eyes that Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified. Let me ask you only this: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law or by hearing with faith? Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you…
Justified | Sermon on Galatians 2:11-21
Amen. Our scripture today comes from Paul’s letter to the Galatians, and only Galatians this morning, beginning in chapter 2 at verse 11. If you’ll turn with me, please. Paul writes, ‘But when Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face because he stood condemned. For before certain men came from James, he was eating with the Gentiles, but when they came, he drew back and separated himself, fearing the circumcision party. And the rest of the Jews…
The Analogy of Scripture Part One | Sermon on Acts 9:19-30; Galatians 1:13-24; Acts 11:19-30; Galatians 2:1-10; Acts 12:25
Our scripture reading is going to be coming from back and forth within the book of Acts and within Paul’s letter to the Galatians. I will pause between each so you can move back and forth more easily. We will be beginning in Acts chapter 9. For some days he, Paul, was with the disciples at Damascus, and immediately he proclaimed Jesus in the synagogues, saying, ‘He is the Son of God.’ And all who heard him were amazed and…
Eternal Election by Grace Alone | Sermon on Galatians 1:11-24, Ephesians 1:3-14
[Music] Our first scripture reading this morning comes from Paul’s letter to the Galatians, chapter 1, beginning at the 11th verse. For I would have you know, brothers, that the gospel that was preached by me is not man’s gospel. For I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ. For you have heard of my former life in Judaism, how I persecuted the church of…
Who Do We Obey | Sermon on Galatians 1:6-10
Our first scripture reading this morning comes from the book of Exodus, the first chapter beginning at verse 15. The king of Egypt said to the Hebrew midwives, one of whom was named Shifra and the other Pua, ‘When you serve as midwife to the Hebrew women and see them on the birth stool, if it is a son, you shall kill him; but if it is a daughter, she shall live.’ But the midwives feared God and did not…
God’s Gospel | Sermon on Galatians 1:1-12
Amen. Our first scripture reading this morning may sound a little familiar. Yes, it is a repeat. It comes from Acts chapter 9, beginning in the first verse. But Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest and asked him for letters to the synagogues at Damascus, so that if he found any belonging to the Way, men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem. Now as he went…
An Apostle of Christ | Sermon on Galatians 1:1-5
[Music] This morning our first scripture reading comes from the book of Acts, chapter 9, beginning in the first verse. If you join me in your Bibles: But Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest and asked him for letters to the synagogues at Damascus, so that if he found any belonging to the Way, men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem. Now as he went on…
