Jesus offered us true peace, surpassing the world’s fleeting peace. This peace remains steadfast amidst life’s storms, found in focusing on Jesus’s presence and authority. As we embrace this peace, His glory and grace overshadow all other concerns. Video Audio  

God intended for man to experience rest, as exemplified by His own rest after creation. This rest in Christ is characterized by freedom from fear and a trust in the finished work of the cross. Our obedience flows from resting in God’s promises and yielding to the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Video Audio  

Jesus’s sacrifice on the cross completely atoned for our sins, allowing us to enter God’s presence with confidence. The law was a system of death, while Jesus’s sacrifice opened the way to a life-giving relationship with God. Enjoying God’s presence brings renewal and refreshment. Video Audio  

The blood of Jesus provides eternal redemption and a sin-free conscience. God desires us to live free from the burden of past sins, not constantly dwelling on them. The Christian life is not about human effort but about resting in Christ’s righteousness. We are inherently holy and blameless in Him. Video Audio  

Grace has always been God’s heart for humanity. The law was not intended to define God’s relationship with man, which is based on faith. Alienation from God stems from rejecting His grace, not disobedience. Under grace, we experience the Spirit of sonship, fostering a relationship of intimacy and freedom with our Father God.

Galatians emphasizes the importance of grace alone for salvation, opposing the addition of works. Paul strongly condemned those who taught a “grace plus works” gospel, as this negates the sufficiency of Christ’s sacrifice. Video Audio  

We are qualified to be co-inheritors with Jesus through His righteousness, not our own. Works-based efforts turn God’s favor into a debt, not a gift. True faith, like Abraham’s, trusts in God’s promises, even when they seem delayed. This faith enables us to experience the supernatural and overcome limitations. Video Audio  

God’s covenant with Abraham was based on faith, not works. This illustrates the New Covenant, where believers, as Abraham’s spiritual descendants, are declared righteous through faith. Under the law, God’s favor was dependent on human performance. Understanding this shift in covenants reveals the nature of God’s desired relationship with us. Video Audio  

The Ten Commandments, a “ministry of death,” lead to condemnation. The “ministry of the Spirit” in the New Covenant offers freedom and the glory of Jesus. Under grace, we run to God, not away from Him, as the Spirit testifies of our righteousness. Video Audio
