In Galatians 5:1-6, Paul issues an urgent warning: the freedom Christ won for us under attack. The danger isn't obvious-it looks like being more faithful, more religious. But adding anything to Christ means losing everything. This week we'll see what it means to stand firm in gospel freedom and resist the slavery of self-justification.

Self-reliance is slavery. Freedom is found in relying on God as the Giver of every good.

A ministry that tells people what they want to hear is both using them and shutting them out of the kingdom of God.

Jesus teaches us the kind of praying God rewards.

Jesus is both our perfect example of devotion to Scripture and the fulfiller of Scripture for our eternal joy.

The Magnitude and meekness of Jesus together is what saves us. Luke 2:1–21

After centuries of waiting, God breaks His silence not with spectacle but with mercy, promise, and salvation. In Zechariah’s song, we see that God keeps His covenant, rescues His people to become worshipers, and sends witnesses to point the world to Christ.

What is the blessedness of Mary? And how will Jesus turn this world upside down?

Gabriel announces that Mary’s child will rule the world.

Looking at Paul's teaching that the true freedom comes not from self-rule or performance, but from Christ's children redemption, our adoption as God's children, and the Spirit's witness that we are fully known and loved.
