Pastor Rick Beaudry expounds Galatians 5:26–6:5, calling us to be Christ’s “paramedics” who restore the fallen with meekness, bear one another’s burdens, and resist pride and vainglory. He contrasts merciful, Spirit-led care with judgmental policing, shows that help must point people to Jesus for repentance and rest, and reminds us that some burdens are personal callings each must carry. Using examples like Peter, David, the Good Samaritan, and Simon of Cyrene, he underscores God’s grace in suffering and urges the church to be a life-saving hospital rather than a social club.

Pastor Rick Beaudry reads Galatians 5:2-12, confronting the Judaizers and legalism while arguing that Christianity is faith working through love. He lays out four consequences of unbelief: falling from grace, forfeiting righteousness, failing to obey the truth, and forgetting the cross. Beaudry reminds us salvation is by grace through faith, not by law or performance. Drawing on Abraham, the Good Samaritan, the Syrophoenician woman and contemporary illustrations, he urges us to walk by the Spirit, mortify the flesh and guard the church against leavening heresy. The sermon closes with a call to repentance, to remember the cross at communion, and to let God transform us so love, not legalism, shapes how we live and witness.

Pastor Rick Beaudry reads Galatians 5:19–25 and uses Jesus’ image of trees to show how we are known by the fruit our lives bear. He contrasts the tree of loss (the works of the flesh such as adultery, fornication, idolatry, drunkenness) with the tree of love (the singular fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, self‑control) and warns that habitual practice of fleshly sin reveals a heart not transformed. Pointing to the tree of Calvary as the means to crucify the flesh, he calls us to abide in the Spirit, repent, cultivate Scripture meditation, and live out visible, persistent change. Practical application presses us to guard our minds from deception, resist cultural compromises, and choose to serve the Lord so our lives bear genuine, lasting fruit.
