And So It Begins

Jul 27, 2025    Pastor Michael White

This message explores the early church's struggle with legalism and the distortion of the Gospel. The Judaizers in Galatia were adding requirements to salvation, much like some do today. We must maintain the simplicity and purity of the Gospel message - that salvation comes through faith in Jesus Christ alone, not through adherence to religious rules or rituals.


Takeaways:

The Gospel is simple: We are saved by God's grace through faith in Jesus Christ, not by our own works or religious observances.

We must be vigilant against modern-day "Judaizers" who add unnecessary requirements to salvation, whether they be dress codes, music styles, political affiliations, or specific spiritual experiences.

God hates sin not because He's against us, but because He's radically for us. His love and mercy are the foundation of the Gospel message.


Let's remember to keep the Gospel message clear and unclouded by religious fog. May we be like a fresh wind, bringing the simple truth of God's love and Christ's sacrifice to a world in need.
