Sermon: Living by the Promise 
Scripture: Galatians 4:21-5:1 ESV
Series: Galatians
Teacher: Grant Caldwell

Through the lens of Abraham's story, Discipleship Pastor Grant Caldwell examines how reliance on human efforts leads to spiritual slavery, while faith in Christ’s finished work brings true freedom.

We're walked through the dynamics of this biblical narrative, drawing parallels to our own struggles with legalism, idolatry, and self-reliance. We’ll reflect on the dangers of turning good things into ultimate things and how even religious practices can become idols. The sermon challenges us to examine our lives and identify areas where we might be slipping into unbelief and self-justification.

Discover the transformative power of living by faith as Paul calls us to stand firm in the freedom that Christ has secured for us. This sermon invites us to commit our spirits into God’s hands, trusting in His promises and embracing the life of freedom He offers.
