WE WILL WATCH THE WEATHER FOR SUNDAY                                             AND LET YOU KNOW ABOUT OUR CHURCH SERVICES.

Beats From Your Pastor’s Heart:

Galatians 5:1, “Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.”

It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery.

One of the chief things used by Satan to nullify Christ is an atmosphere of legality. 

This kind of atmosphere can subtly creep into the church. 

It was one of the primary problems that invaded the church life in the New Testament. 

The Gospels are filled with accounts of the scribes and Pharisees nullifying the Word of God by their tradition and detailed legalities (Mark 7:6-9). 

The book of Acts does not cover up the fact that the church in Jerusalem was filled with believers who were zealous for keeping the law (Acts 21:20). 

Many of the Epistles were written due to the battle with Judaizers, who were going about to spy out the believers’ freedom in Christ (Gal. 2:4).

From the New Testament days until now, Christ is nullified when the church loses the atmosphere of freedom. 

Paul says that it is for the express purpose of an atmosphere of freedom that Christ died on the cross to set us free. 

Freedom is the state or atmosphere that believers are to live in.

Indeed, Paul exhorts the saints to “keep standing firm” in this blood-bought freedom.
