Alexandria Covenant Church
The True Gospel is about the grace of God at work in our lives to bring about salvation through faith in Jesus. This same grace gives us everything we need to live the Christian life.
--------------
Do you ever feel like you are shackled and chained to the never-ending pursuit of things that are supposed to be life-giving only to realize they are lifeless and leave you feeling empty in the end? Join us on a journey through the book of Galatians where you will meet Jesus and discover the life-giving reality of the true gospel.
The true gospel has the power to break the chains of sin and self-righteousness that lead to death and give life and freedom to those who live by faith in Jesus Christ. Not the kind of freedom that allows us to live however we want, but a freedom that helps us to live the way God wants. In Christ, we have been set free to live free!
Galatians 1:1-10 ESV
Paul’s apostolic authority and the gospel
A different gospel is not the gospel
Fighting the people-pleaser in you
Challenge: The gospel is all about the grace of God at work bringing about salvation to sinners who respond to Jesus’s call to salvation with repentance and faith. In what ways do you find yourself adding to the gospel? What are some typical Jesus + something teachings you might recognize others teaching today? What practical steps can you take to avoid legalism as you share the gospel with others? Never forget…it is by God’s grace that you are saved and it is by God’s grace that you live the Christian life.
