This message from Galatians 5 confronts one of the biggest misunderstandings in the Christian life—what freedom in Christ is really for. While the flesh wants to use freedom as permission to serve ourselves, Scripture insists that true freedom leads us into love, service, unity, and Spirit-led living. Pastor James unpacks Paul’s warning against biting and devouring one another, the ongoing battle between flesh and Spirit, and the transforming call to crucify the old self daily. This sermon paints a compelling picture of what happens when believers plant their lives in the soil of grace and bear fruit that blesses the world around them. Ultimately, freedom in Christ is not the right to do as we want—it’s the power to become who Jesus saved us to be.
