Pastor Rick Beaudry reads Galatians 3:23–29 and unpacks what it means to be “in Christ,” contrasting the law’s role as a schoolmaster that kept people under bondage with the freedom faith brings. He highlights the first of three blessings—freedom—using biblical images (Noah’s ark, Joseph, Paul’s conversion), personal testimony, and pastoral warnings about cultural drift to show that true transformation produces the fruit of the Spirit, especially love and sanctification. Urging us to cultivate devotion, repentance, and watchfulness for Christ’s return, he calls for a gospel-centered life shaped by grace rather than mere external compliance.

Pastor Rick Beaudry expounds Galatians 3:15–22, showing that the promises to Abraham - sealed to one “seed” (Christ) - are superior to the law by principle, person, precedent, and prophecy. He contrasts promise and law: the law condemns, was temporary and mediated by angels, while the promise is immutable, personal in Christ, and secures salvation by grace through faith. Beaudry urges us to embrace justification and progressive sanctification by the Spirit, to wait on God’s timing as Abraham did, and to refuse the law as a tool of condemnation. He highlights Christ as the promised Seed and sole Mediator who grants direct access to God and guarantees God’s faithfulness to fulfill His promises.

Pastor Rick Beaudry expounds Galatians 3:6–14, using Abraham as the exemplar of justification by faith to show that believers are blessed with righteousness, rest, and redemption rather than by keeping the law. He warns against Judaizing legalism, explains that the law pronounces a curse Christ bore so Gentiles might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith, and contrasts living by works with living by faith. Through biblical illustrations and personal pastoral anecdotes he urges us to rely on the Holy Spirit for peace, perseverance, and transformation. He concludes with a clear call to receive Christ, be counted among Abraham’s spiritual children, and walk in the assurance of forgiveness and the Spirit’s power.

He challenges us to embrace a faith-driven life, remaining vigilant against false doctrines that compromise the true gospel.

Pastor Rick Beaudry teaches on Galatians 3:1-5, highlighting Paul's concern that the Galatians have been "bewitched" and are veering from the truth of the Gospel. He emphasizes that justification and sanctification are free gifts from God, received by faith, not by works of the law.

He illustrates how attempts to blend law and grace lead to inconsistent behavior, independent beliefs, and insufficient benefits. We are reminded that justification comes solely through faith in Jesus Christ, not by works of the law, encouraging us to embrace the freedom and complete forgiveness offered by God's grace. The message emphasizes identifying with Christ's death to the law, allowing Him to live through us, and resisting the urge to rebuild what was torn down, ultimately receiving God's blessings without earning them.
