Preaching at Trinity

Paul is beginning to lay out the great explanation of the Gospel, which stands on faith alone in Christ alone. It is because of God’s grace that sinners are drawn to Him, redeemed by Him, and transformed by Him. Paramount to that explanation is the purpose of the law.

Mankind struggles with the pull of formal religion, depending upon its own effort to gain favor with God or to maintain it. However, Paul addresses this issue head-on with truth and love, which challenges the readers to evaluate the fundamentals of their relationship with Jesus Christ.

Look to Jesus and the suffering he endured to and on the cross for our salvation.

The death of Jesus Christ was expected to end the people’s interest in His message, but it only drove the interest higher when He rose from the dead, issuing His decree of victory over sin and death. What wicked men and Satan thought would overthrow God, only completed His plan for salvation to the world.

Things are not what they seem in this passage. A large crowd celebrated Jesus' entry into Jerusalem, but His reaction to them is unexpected and revealing of what is going on in many people's hearts.

This chapter of Galatians is both doctrinal and practical and will help us in our daily walk as we present the truth to others in word and in deed. Be encouraged and challenged as we study the manner in which we hold to the Good News of Jesus Christ.

Luke 10 is a summary of Jesus sending out disciples with the message of the Kingdom, but it also includes challenges relevant to our discipleship as we seek to serve the Lord.
