Millions turn to self-help for answers—yet still feel empty, stuck, and striving. In this week’s conversation, we look at Galatians 4–5 and uncover why self-effort can never earn God’s love or bring lasting change.

True freedom isn’t about working harder, fixing yourself, or keeping up appearances—it’s about trusting the One who already did the work for you.

If you’ve ever wondered:

• Why do I still feel restless no matter what I try?
• Why isn’t self-help enough to change me?
• How do I find freedom that lasts?

This message will meet you right there. Discover the life-giving freedom Jesus offers—a freedom to rest, to trust, and to love beyond what you could ever manufacture on your own.

Looking in the mirror shows you what’s wrong—but it can’t make you clean. Paul says the law works the same way: it exposes our sin but can’t remove it. In Galatians 3–4, we discover the life-changing truth that only Jesus has the power to redeem us, break the chains of shame, and make us new.

In this message, you’ll learn:

• Why the law reveals guilt but can’t bring freedom
• How Jesus cleanses what rules never could
• What it means to be adopted as God’s child
• The path from striving to true grace

If you’ve ever felt trapped by guilt, shame, or the weight of trying harder, this message shows how to finally live free in Christ.

We all know the feeling of never measuring up—of trying harder, doing more, and still carrying the weight of failure and shame. In Galatians 3, Paul confronts the lie that God’s love is earned by following rules or living perfectly. Pastor Dennis Gallaher shares how Jesus breaks the chains of condemnation and offers us freedom—not through religion, but through His grace. This message will challenge you to stop striving and start receiving, to exchange judgment for love, and to live in the transformation only the Spirit can bring.
