Sermons on Galatians (Page 2)
45 Many of the Jews therefore, who had come with Mary and had seen what he did, believed in him, 46 but some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done. John 11:45-46 Jesus always causes a decision. The same question that faced the Jewish leaders is the question each of us…
6 Jesus said to them, “My time has not yet come, but your time is always here. John 7:6 Our passage today shows some people are struggling with Jesus. Some because of the way Jesus is doing things and some with the words He is saying to them. Jesus is divisive and with Him there is…
“Therefore, as we have opportunity, we must work for the good of all, especially for those who belong to the household of faith” – Galatians 6:10 The church is not just a charitable organization like the Red Cross, the civic club, the Rotary, or Kiwanis.

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s offspring, heirs according to promise.…
