Galatians 4:8-31, Freedom In Jesus – Divine Grace vs. LegalismGalatians 4:8-31, Freedom In Jesus - Divine Grace vs. LegalismHave you ever found yourself trying to earn God's favor, feeling like your worth is tied to how well you follow the rules? In his message, "Freedom in Jesus: Divine Grace vs. Legalism," Pastor JC Cooper unpacks Galatians 4:8-31, where the Apostle Paul pleads with the Galatian believers not to turn back to the bondage of the law. Through a powerful illustration from the Old Testament—the contrast between Ishmael, the son of slavery, and Isaac, the son of promise—Paul reminds us that we are saved by grace alone, not by our own efforts. Pastor JC brings this truth to life, revealing how legalism creeps into our walk with Christ and how only God's grace leads to true freedom.This message is an invitation to step out of the exhausting cycle of performance-based faith and into the liberating grace of Jesus. Pastor JC challenges us to examine our hearts: Are we living as children of promise, resting in God's love, or are we striving to earn His approval? This teaching will encourage, convict, and realign your heart with the gospel’s central truth—salvation is a gift, not a transaction. Don’t miss this opportunity to be refreshed and renewed in the freedom that Christ has secured for you!

In “Our Rich Inheritance in Jesus Christ,” Pastor David Menard unpacks Galatians 3:26-4:7, revealing that in God’s kingdom, there are no employees—only sons and daughters who are full heirs of His promises. With clarity and depth, he explains how faith in Jesus brings us into a family where we are not just accepted but adopted with full rights as God’s children. This message will challenge the way you see yourself in Christ and help you grasp the life-changing truth of your spiritual inheritance.Don’t miss this powerful teaching that will transform your faith! As Pastor David walks through this passage, he highlights how the law was never meant to make us righteous but to point us to Jesus, who fulfilled it perfectly on our behalf. If you’ve ever struggled with guilt, performance-based faith, or feeling like you don’t measure up, this message will encourage and equip you. The truth is, in Christ, you are no longer a slave to sin or striving—you are a beloved child of God with an eternal inheritance. Listen in and discover the freedom, security, and joy that come with knowing who you truly are in Him!

Are you striving to earn His love, or are you resting in the gift of His grace? As you listen, you’ll be reminded that righteousness has always been a gift—one that cannot be earned but is freely given through Christ. Whether you’ve been caught in the exhausting cycle of legalism or simply need a renewed sense of God’s grace, this message will encourage you to let go of self-reliance and step into the joy and security of faith in Jesus.
