Galatians 4:21,5:1 -Stand Fast- Pastor Rick Beaudry 2025-10-12

Pastor Rick Beaudry reads Galatians 4:21–5:1 and unpacks the allegory of Hagar and Sarah as two covenants, one of bondage under the law and one of promise by the Spirit, urging us to “stand fast” in the liberty Christ purchased. He contrasts legalism and antinomianism, explains historical and typological background (Abraham, Isaac, typology), and warns how religious rule‑keeping or licentious grace both miss the life of love the Spirit produces. He applies the passage to contemporary threats: religious coercion, governmental controls and surveillance technologies he identifies as precursors to a coming system, and calls us to resist returning to the yoke of bondage. The message closes with a plea to repent, remain led by the Spirit, and live boldly in the freedom Christ gives.
