GALATIANS
A Gospel of Freedom
02 Fraud Fighter
January 31, 2021 • Rich Millhouse • Galatians 1:6–10
The apostle Paul is the ultimate fraud fighter when it comes to the gospel. He knows that desertion come through distortion. Any belief or teaching that takes the gospel of Christ and; Adds, Subtracts, Multiplies, Divides is distorting the gospel of Christ. Because the true gospel is faith alone, by grace along, because of Christ alone.
03 The Power of a Changed Life
February 7, 2021 • Rich Millhouse • Galatians 1:11–24

11 No Turning Back!
April 25, 2021 • Rich Millhouse
The Wrong Path leads to the Wrong Place. Is your Christian life moving forward into freedom or backward into bondage? Paul puts out a personal plea to firmly, yet lovingly challenge the Galatians in the Path they are walking. No Turning Back and the Problem with the Path.
12 A Pastor's Plea!
