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.

Pastor Rick Beaudry reads Galatians 3:23–29 and unpacks what it means to be “in Christ,” contrasting the law’s role as a schoolmaster that kept people under bondage with the freedom faith brings. He highlights the first of three blessings—freedom—using biblical images (Noah’s ark, Joseph, Paul’s conversion), personal testimony, and pastoral warnings about cultural drift to show that true transformation produces the fruit of the Spirit, especially love and sanctification. Urging us to cultivate devotion, repentance, and watchfulness for Christ’s return, he calls for a gospel-centered life shaped by grace rather than mere external compliance.

Pastor Rick Beaudry expounds Galatians 3:15–22, showing that the promises to Abraham - sealed to one “seed” (Christ) - are superior to the law by principle, person, precedent, and prophecy. He contrasts promise and law: the law condemns, was temporary and mediated by angels, while the promise is immutable, personal in Christ, and secures salvation by grace through faith. Beaudry urges us to embrace justification and progressive sanctification by the Spirit, to wait on God’s timing as Abraham did, and to refuse the law as a tool of condemnation. He highlights Christ as the promised Seed and sole Mediator who grants direct access to God and guarantees God’s faithfulness to fulfill His promises.

Pastor Rick Beaudry expounds Galatians 3:6–14, using Abraham as the exemplar of justification by faith to show that believers are blessed with righteousness, rest, and redemption rather than by keeping the law. He warns against Judaizing legalism, explains that the law pronounces a curse Christ bore so Gentiles might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith, and contrasts living by works with living by faith. Through biblical illustrations and personal pastoral anecdotes he urges us to rely on the Holy Spirit for peace, perseverance, and transformation. He concludes with a clear call to receive Christ, be counted among Abraham’s spiritual children, and walk in the assurance of forgiveness and the Spirit’s power.
