Galatians: Fighting for the True Gospel at theRefuge Church - Lakeland, TN

Our first preaching series at theRefuge is Galatians: Fighting for the True Gospel. Paul had traveled the region of Galatia in his first missionary journey (Acts 13 & 14) as the Spirit of God worked through his proclamation of the gospel. But in the short time since he left, the churches had been infiltrated by false teachers.

His letter is to address two major crisis that new converts to Christ were facing: 1. Paul has the authority from God to teach the the doctrine of grace, and 2. salvation comes through grace alone, by faith alone in Jesus alone. Paul insists that to require Jesus plus anythhing is to deny the heart of the gospel, and he urges these new brothers and sisters in the faith to remember this message that he brought to them.

Paul encourages the Galatians, and us today, to fight for the true gospel! Do not be conformed to any other teachings other than: Jesus saves; Jesus transforms; and the gospel is NOT that our obedience to the law produces God's favor and therefore grace, but instead, the gospel is that grace IS God's favor through Jesus Christ. It's because of grace that we are free to love God with all of who we are.

That's enough of an introduction. Join us Sunday nights at 5 p.m. as we walk through the awesome words from God through his apostle Paul.
