Sermons on Legalism
Using a meal to illustrate the “rest” of the story, Jesus exposes the Pharisees for their lack of understanding of God. Our merciful God cares more about people than legalistic rituals and laws. “We have more than a Sabbath law, we have a Sabbath Lord and can rest in Him.”
A warning from Jesus about legalism and liberalism lead to some valuable lessons, not only for the disciples, but for us as well. Are you operating by reason or by faith? Are you caught up in the cares of this world? Gain some insight from Bro. Jeff’s message tonight.
In this continuation, Bro. Jeff points out ways in which Satan is trying to destroy the family and deceive about salvation. We are all susceptible to the traps the enemy sets; here we learn more about how to avoid a departure from faith.

What would it be like to experience a mind of Christ in our personal lives, to allow the Holy Spirit to work in our hearts, minds, and day-to-day encounters to impact our works, our attitudes, our behaviors?

Previously, Bro. Jeff encouraged us with our victory over death and sin. Here, he continues with the victory Christians have over the Law, and over the Devil. Have you been redeemed? Released from obligation? Rescued? Recovered?
To live a life for God and be all He wants us to be, Christians must take a strong stand. When we don’t, we cause deep sorrow in the person of the Holy Spirit. What exactly does it mean to stand strong? The Scriptures provide answer; Pastor shares here.
Majoring in the minor and minoring in the major… Being led by the blind… Bro. Jeff focuses on what Jesus said about legalism.
