Legalism has a way of sneaking into our faith, turning what started as freedom into a checklist. In this message, Pastor Jeremy unpacks Paul’s letter to the Galatians to remind us that we’re saved by faith alone, not by works. The Gospel doesn’t need our additives; it needs our surrender.
When we stop trying to perform for God and start walking in step with His Spirit, we find freedom, unity, and joy again.
Key Scriptures: Galatians 1:6–7 | Galatians 2:4, 11–13, 16 | Galatians 3:1–7, 10–11 | Matthew 16:18 | Acts 1:8 | Acts 13 | Exodus 19 | Matthew 28:19 | 1 Peter 2:9 | 1 Thessalonians 5:23–24
