Paul turns to addressing religious people in the second half of chapter 2. He wants to convey to his readers that you can be religious and still not have a relationship with Jesus.

In this sermon, Pastor Kyle points out three problems that religious people have and how the good news frees us to focus on other things.…

Galatians 6:11-18 – The Cross-Centered Life
In this last part of the last chapter of Galatians, Paul writes out with his own hand his final message. In one way, he is summarizing the entire book.

In this sermon, Pastor Kyle shows what it means to boast in…
