Galatians 5:2,12 -Faith Working Through Love- Pastor Rick Beaudry 2025-10-19

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.
