Pastor Rick Beaudry reads Galatians 4:21–5:1 and unpacks the allegory of Hagar and Sarah as two covenants, one of bondage under the law and one of promise by the Spirit, urging us to “stand fast” in the liberty Christ purchased. He contrasts legalism and antinomianism, explains historical and typological background (Abraham, Isaac, typology), and warns how religious rule‑keeping or licentious grace both miss the life of love the Spirit produces. He applies the passage to contemporary threats: religious coercion, governmental controls and surveillance technologies he identifies as precursors to a coming system, and calls us to resist returning to the yoke of bondage. The message closes with a plea to repent, remain led by the Spirit, and live boldly in the freedom Christ gives.

Pastor Rick Beaudry preaches from Galatians 4:12,20 and urges us to heed Paul’s threefold appeal: remember the gospel, discern the motives of legalists, and pursue maturity so that Christ be formed in us. He contrasts sterile legalism with the sufficiency of Christ and the life-giving work of the Spirit, warns about persuasive false teachers and cultural compromises that seduce the flock, and presses for daily Bible saturation and pastoral care to develop discernment. Through pastoral illustrations and urgent appeals to die to self, love sacrificially, and bear measurable spiritual fruit, he calls us to genuine inward transformation from glory to glory, rather than mere outward conformity.

Pastor Rick Beaudry expounds Galatians 4:1–11, urging believers to embrace the privilege of sonship and warning against regressing to legalism and the “weak and beggarly elements” of the law. He outlines three truths—God reserved an appointed day for heirs, Christ’s redemptive work brings adoption, and our responsibility is to abide in intimate fellowship with the Father—illustrating each with Scripture, biblical types, and personal anecdotes. Beaudry confronts contemporary dangers like prosperity teaching, ritualistic regression, and cultural compromise, calling us to reckon the old self dead and press into spiritual maturity. The message blends urgent pastoral exhortation, prayer, and vivid storytelling to motivate us to live as joint heirs with Christ.
