This Sunday, Pastor Paul will turn our attention to Galatians. Specifically, Galatians 3:23 – 29. Here’s is the text.
23 Now before faith came, we were imprisoned and guarded under the law until faith would be revealed. 24 Therefore the law was our disciplinarian until Christ came, so that we might be justified by faith. 25 But now that faith has come, we are no longer subject to a disciplinarian, 26 for in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith. 27 As many of you as were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. 28 There is no longer Jew or Greek, there is no longer slave or free, there is no longer male and female; for all of you are one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s offspring, heirs according to the promise.
We will learn that the apostle Paul argues that Christians are no longer defined by their status under law. Baptized in Christ, they are freed to live as children of God.
No longer bound by either our property or our poverty, no longer determined by either our high or low status, no longer defined by our former identities, our freedom in Christ now shapes who we are.
Please join us this Sunday, Father’s Day, for worship. The service begins at 10AM.
