The power to live for God is not found in keeping His law, but in being united to His Son.

Gavin Swile's message from Sunday morning 20th March 2022

Love God. Love People.

Paul attempted to resolve the conflict with some of the false teachers that came from Jerusalem to Antioch in a discreet manner. He made sure he and the leaders of the church were on the same page regarding salvation by grace alone. Later it would require a public meeting because the false teachers couldn't let go of their traditions. The sermon addresses the issues that we as followers of Christ must contend for and what things are debatable. You will also learn about the cultural issues that affected this confrontation.

It is a life long struggle to walk more and more in step with the gospel. In this message, we learn from the example of the apostles. Even Peter fearing men more than God made serious blunders. What is critical is that we submit ourselves to the corrective authority of the gospel.

Big Idea - S - Do we receive the Spirit, grow to full maturity in Christ, and experience the miraculous work of the Spirit in our life by keeping the law in the flesh, or by our faith in the Gospel? It is faith in "Christ crucified" that results in the life-transforming work of the Spirit, not the law carried out in the flesh. Our faith in the Gospel and our response of faith brings about three great results in the life of every believer. First, at the the very beginning the Holy Spirit indwells us from the moment we believe and are made righteous through the work of Christ. Second, at the end of our journey, we are made perfect and complete by a life fully transformed according to God’s highest purpose and plan for us, and in all the in-between the Holy Spirit is at work in ways that we can see and experience. This is all accomplished, not be keeping the law int he flesh, but by our faith in Christ crucified. So, we must guard against leaving the way of the Spirit and falling into the way of the flesh and the law.

Law does not replace faith. The law is fulfilled for those included in Christ.

Eric walks us through this portion of scripture which gives us confidence that we are in fact children of God. Adopted permanently and with all the benefits that the Father bestows to Jesus, his natural son.
