Galatians 3:23-29
Growing in the Word with Pastor Jim Jarrett
The purpose of seatbelt laws is to save lives. Just as there are reasons for that particular rule on the roadways, there is also a purpose behind the law of God. We’ll see what that is today on Growing in the Word as we continue our survey of Galatians. Pastor Jim brings us now a study based on the last seven verses of chapter three.

Galatians 3:23-29
Growing in the Word with Pastor Jim Jarrett
If we look at God’s law as a set of rules to follow in oder to get to heaven, we miss then point. We cannot obey the law perfectly, and the law points that out to us, so we must turn to faith in Christ for our salvation. Today on Growing in the Word Pastor Jim Jarrett will elaborate as he continues his study of Galatians. We’ll be in chapter three, paying particular attention to verses twenty-three through twenty-nine.

Growing in the Word with Pastor Jim Jarrett
It’s one thing to fail when trying to live up to our ideals and it’s another thing to pretend that we actually do. It’s what’s on the inside that really counts. And yet too often we pretend everything is all right when it’s not. What’s wrong? And how do we fix it? We’ll find out today on Growing in the Word

Galatians 3:6-14 Part 2
Growing in the Word with Pastor Jim Jarrett
Our money says “In God We Trust”. But do we? It’s one thing to say that we trust God, but it’s quite another to live that way. Pastor Jim will challenge us today to really sell out completely to trust God completely.

3:6-14 Part 2
Growing in the Word with Pastor Jim Jarrett
The law of God has no power to prevent sin - or redeem the sinner. Only grace can do that. That’s our theme on today’s program as pastor Jim takes us to Galatians chapter three. The churches in Galatia had been deceived by false teachers, who had convinced them that they could be saved by works rather than grace. Let’s head over to Galatians chapter three, verses six through fourteen and find out what the Apostle Paul had to say on this important issue.

Galatians 3:6-14 Part
Growing in the Word with Pastor Jim Jarrett
Trying to earn or merit God’s blessing is what the church in Galatia had fallen into. They compromised the gospel of grace by legalism. It’s a common mistake that’s still made today. And it’s important we understand this so we don’t fall into the same error.

Galatians 3:6-14 Part 1
Growing in the Word with Pastor Jim Jarrett
Currently on the broadcast we’re traveling verse by verse through the book of Galatians. We continue in chapter three today, and find here a good old fashion scolding, if you will. Paul pulled no punches when it came to proclaiming the gospel message and the need for repentance and faith, in order to be saved. A lot of the folks in Galatia were not prepared to be confronted so boldly!

Galatians 3:1-5
Growing in the Word with Pastor Jim Jarrett
Jesus paid the price to perfect us before a holy and perfect God. Isn’t that awesome? However, there are some people who still try to get to heaven by being “perfect”. It simply won’t work. The members of the church in Galatia had a similar issue. They had been tricked into believing that following rules was the path to heaven.

Galatians 3:1-5
Growing in the Word with Pastor Jim Jarrett
We all need someone in our lives who is not afraid to “tell it like it is”. The Galatians had a friend like that, and his name was Paul. We’ll see just what he had to say to the Galatians today on Growing in the Word. Pastor Jim Jarrett is taking us through this challenging epistle, and we can see that the Galatians were much like many Christians today – they thought they needed to add something to their faith in order to please God and get to heaven.
info_outlinePaul was quick to point people to Christ, and eager to share the Gospel! Many around him found this message disturbing as we’ll see today on Growing in the Word. We can expect the same sort of reaction today. Pastor Jim Jarrett will underscore the gospel of grace alone through faith alone on today’s broadcast as part of our continuing study of Galatians. We’ve just begun a look at chapter two, where we read Paul’s passionate defense of the gospel.
