Evidence of Transformation part 1
July 2, 2024
We continue making our way through the New Testament book of Galatians. And in chapter five, we’re told to stand strong in the freedom we have in Christ. Then we’re warned there are some things that can rob us of our freedom. We’ll also be assured of the difference grace truly makes and be encouraged to hold on to it by faith.

Today on The program, pastor Al Pittman continues his study of Galatians, and has us turn to the fifth chapter. It’s here that the apostle Paul combats the legalists of his day with the message of God’s grace. It’s pretty amazing to consider that with the life of Jesus, and His resurrection still fresh in their minds, the people of Galatia still thought they needed to follow the rules in order to go to heaven.

One of the things that helps us obey is knowing from whom the command comes, how much authority they have, and how much doing what they ask will matter. If the command comes from a coworker - it will not have the same impact as if it had come directly from the boss. Well, we have commands that have come directly from the Lord. The Thessalonians believers understood that the word that the Apostle gave them was in truth - the word of God. And they responded accordingly.

Pastor Al Pittman will show us today what the apostle Paul was referring to when he told the Galatians “They have fallen from grace”. And as we go along in this section of Galatians, we’ll receive a very strong but needed warning not to pursue self-righteousness. Paul wrote this letter to a group of Jews who just couldn’t accept that the gospel message was intended for Gentiles as well. God’s grace is available to every person - and hallelujah to that!

Currently, pastor Al Pittman is leading us through Galatians, verse by verse. Here in America, we consider it a courtesy to open and close a door for another person. Some of us guys forget that about the fourth or fifth year of marriage, right? Today, we’ll observe God opening and closing doors for His children, and specifically the apostle Paul. God sovereignly orchestrates the events of our lives, and that can be a great comfort to know.

When God laid it on the heart of George Mueller to build orphanages in Bristol, England, he had only two shillings to call his own. Without making his needs known to anyone but God, over seven million dollars were sent to him for the building and maintenance of the homes. Now there was a man who not only was saved by faith, but also walked and lived by faith. Today, Pastor Al Pittman will urge us to do likewise. Galatians chapter four will be our text for today’s teaching.

The law of God also has a purpose, and that is to reveal our sin and point us to Christ. 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 The Dwelling Place Pastor Al Pittman will elaborate as he continues his study of Galatians. We’ll be in chapter three on this day, beginning in verse twenty-two.

Really 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 The Dwelling Place with pastor Al Pittman. 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 and find out what the Apostle Paul had to say on this important issue.

Everyone comes into the world as a baby but we mature - some faster than others!. The same is true spiritually. And too many in the Church have not matured. As we’ll hear today, part of the problem is our low view of the Bible - that’s why there is such a disinterest in the things of God. But the bible is the very word of God - when the bible speaks, God speaks. And if the bible is the very word of God then how should we respond? We should receive it and welcome it - just like the Thessalonians did.

Our problem with perfection was solved by Jesus. He 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 people of Galatia had a similar issue. They thought following rules was the path to heaven.

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 The Dwelling Place.
