Bewitched?

Jun 8, 2025    Pastor Zeke

In this powerful message, we're challenged to examine our understanding of faith and works. The central theme revolves around Galatians 3, where Paul confronts the believers who have been 'bewitched' into thinking they must earn God's favor through works. We're reminded that just as we're saved by faith, we're called to live by faith. The analogy of a stationary bike brilliantly illustrates how futile it is to try to earn our salvation or God's love through our own efforts. We're already fully loved, fully saved, and full heirs of God's promises! This liberating truth frees us from the performance treadmill and invites us to live in the joy of God's unconditional love. The message encourages us to get off the 'bike' of legalism and step onto the 'track' of faith, where we're free to live for Christ not out of obligation, but out of love and gratitude.
