Sam's Sunday Sermons

We discuss reaping and sowing in our lives and Paul's exhortation to persevere in well doing.

We continue to look at how we might prepare to carry the burdens of others and find practical help to evaluate the burdens we might take up.

Paul shifts focus to fellowship. We look at the idea of restoration and identify why we would participate in the Lord's keeping of the Church.

In this final installment of Galatians 5 we look at the fruit of the Spirit not as a list of things to be done, but as characteristics of Christ that the Holy Spirit brings about un us as ambassadors of the Lord.

We look at the works of the flesh.

Paul discusses walking in the Spirit versus walking in the flesh. He teaches that our liberty in Christ is not to be used as an occasion to live how we want to but is freedom to live as we ought to.

We look at the application of Paul to the churches of Galatia to walk in belief and obedience to the Word of God.

Paul makes some comments that some wrongly apply. We are secure in our salvation because it is based upon the finished work of Jesus and not our own merit.

Paul moves to the application of the truths he has stressed to the churches of Galatia. We take a look at what application is and how it practically is lived.

Easter Sermon 2025

We look at Zechariah's prophecy that was fulfilled by Jesus as he came into Jerusalem and how the second time he sets foot on the Mount of Olives will be different.

We look at Paul's expression of "fatherly" concern and look at it as the expression of God's fatherly love towards us.

Paul borrows from the methodology of the Judaizers to illustrate the weakness and result of the rudimentary application of the law.

Paul makes a last doctrinal appeal to the Churches of Galatia using adoption as the example of salvation by faith. We find that he also uses this principle to lay a foundation of understanding for fellowship.

We take some time to clarify that the Law is not a bad thing in its proper context and within the bounds for which God has given it.

Paul begins to pull the threads of his arguments against the false teachers in the churches of Galatia.

Paul continues to address the churches of Galatia as we add to the witness of their conversion and the Holy Spirit the witness of the Word of God.

Paul addresses his concern that the churches of Galatia have been bewitched into believing and living a false gospel. He remind them of the witness of their own salvation confirmed by the indwelling Spirit, the earnest of our salvation.

Paul defends the idea of justification not being dependent on works in his rebuke of Peter. We also balance the idea of living our faith and not falling prey to false gospels.

This week we focus on Paul's rebuke of Peter for his hypocrisy when he visited Antioch. We look at the implications and the importance of practicing what we preach, and all in defense of a clear and accurate representation and articulation of the Gospel.

We define bondage and liberty in the contexts of Galatians 2.

We take this morning to clarify the controversy and the significance of circumcision.

Paul confirms the divine origins of the Gospel.

Paul talks about the severity of the punishment for perverting the Gospel.

Paul gets right to the point of this epistle. (This one picks up midstream. I forgot to hit record at the beginning)
