In this final sermon of our series on Galatians, we look at Paul’s parting words in Galatians 6:11-18. Here we discover the summary of the Galatian problem and its solution at the foot of the cross of Christ. Rounding out this sermon series with an exhortation to consider ourselves in light of the crucified Christ, we are encouraged to be humble but…

Sermons on Galatians
Our message from Galatians 6:1 encourages us to embrace the good grace of being corrected by our brethren. But there is so much more to it than that. We learn that isolation is unbecoming of a Christian, for we are family. In this message, five lessons from our text and some application drives home the necessity for healthy church members to be…
We continue our study in Paul’s letter to Galatia with Galatians 5:7-12. Here we confront the topic of heresy. In this message, Pastor Head shows that obedience to the truth (v.8) is illustrated by one of Paul’s favorite analogies – the foot race. The Galatians have been hindered from running the good race because of the Judaizer’s false doctrine. They have been…
In this message we see how Paul presses the Judaizers’ argument to its necessary outcome to show that claiming sonship from Abraham by the flesh leads to damnation. Only those who are sons by Spirit have the hope of reaching the eternal Jerusalem above. Thus, the Judaizers and all who point to Father Abraham by physical birthright are actually more like Ishamel,…
We re-visit Galatians 4:1-11 to explore the glorious doctrines of adoption and sonship. In part 1 of this two part sermon, we studied guardianship, then focused on slavery and bondage to the elementary principles of the world. In this second part, we learn that merely being set free from bondage and death is only half of the story. We need more. Come…
We tackle Paul’s appeal to the Galatians as delivered in chapter 4:1-11. Here, we find some of the most encouraging words in the whole epistle regarding our status as sons and the gospel work of Christ that makes us so. But we also are reminded that before Christ’s work on our behalf, we were slaves, not sons. Recall that in Galatia, the…
Our text for today is Galatians 3:1-6 where we discover Paul returning to the Galatian problem with strong language. Our focus is verse 3, “Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh?” In this sermon, we are challenged to consider our own tendency to revert to law-keeping and living a performance-based life of law-keeping and futile striving…
In this sermon from Galatians 1:6 to 2:14, we find that what we preach and the fruit we bear uncovers where our heart’s devotion lies. In order for the Galatian false teachers to be proven errant, Paul had to establish his credible witness and His gospel’s divine origin. From Paul’s testimony to the churches in…
Galatians 1:11-17, Romans 14:1-9 – At this point in Chapter 1 of Galatians, the apostle Paul is continuing to make the point to his brothers and sisters that they are to stick to the true gospel, rejecting all other distortions. In our text today, Paul continues to reinforce the message that they are to listen to…
In this sermon we learn that Paul is stunned and astonished that the Galatian churches would so quickly abandon the gospel of Christ. Explore with us the very dangerous thinking that we are above such astonishing sins. Our text is Galatians 1:6-9, from which we derived four observations: 1.) The Astonishment; 2.) The Deserters; 3.)…
