What does it mean to do good to all? What does it mean to do good especially to the household of faith? If you've been studying carefully through Galatians 4:1-6:5, you will be prepared to understand more fully Galatians 6:6-10. https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/217201513125776 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 16 Feb 2020 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:15:45 no James Hakim - Galatians https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/21020153581706 Those who are "spiritual" are in mortal combat with their own sin, and well-aware that they are nothing. This is what equips them to love a brother gently, as they help him do battle with his own sin. https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/21020153581706 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 09 Feb 2020 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:13:35 no James Hakim - Galatians https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/2320325121989 When we walk by the Spirit, we are ruthless against our sin and loving toward our brothers and sisters in Christ. https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/2320325121989 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 02 Feb 2020 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:10:36 no James Hakim - Galatians https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/1202023797011 If we are led by the Spirit, then we are both those who cannot be condemned by the law and those who are battling the works of the flesh. So, how can we see whether or not we are inheriting the Kingdom? One way is to consider whether we are in battle against the things in Galatians 5:19-21. https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/1202023797011 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 19 Jan 2020 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:15:24 no James Hakim - Galatians https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/113201438304311 There's a war raging, and the Holy Spirit is on one side, for our good. Once we are determined to battle against our remaining sin, we may be much encouraged to know that with our almighty Ally, we must ultimately win. And because we received the Spirit as those redeemed by Christ, even the Law becomes our rewarder rather than our condemner! https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/113201438304311 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 12 Jan 2020 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:12:44 no James Hakim - Galatians https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/1620239418092 Bondage to the flesh leads to devouring one another, but Christ frees us truly to keep the law for the first time--loving one another from the heart. https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/1620239418092 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 05 Jan 2020 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:11:43 no James Hakim - Galatians https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/122319245257892 The same Christ who called us and freed us is the only One who can grow us and make us effective in the Christian life. But, resting in Christ for this must be resting in Christ *alone* for this. To try to mix in the ideas or strength of man is to have Christ Himself profit us nothing. https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/122319245257892 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 22 Dec 2019 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:17:43 no James Hakim - Galatians https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/12919222295758 In an oft-misunderstood passage, the apostle uses an illustration from Genesis to warn us that man-made religion is a bondage that leads to Hell, while divinely-given religion is a freedom that leads to glory. https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/12919222295758 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 08 Dec 2019 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:15:42 no James Hakim - Galatians https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/12219248545315 In a moving display of his own Christ-focused pastoral love, the apostle calls the Galatians to return to a truly Christian affection by making much of Christ. Their mutual affection with the (Jewish) church calendar party made much of man, because it was borne out of that legalism, and the solution was to return to the love they had at first. https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/12219248545315 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 01 Dec 2019 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:11:21 no James Hakim - Galatians https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/1125191216426757 Why was the Galatians' keeping the Christ-focused OT church calendar so serious that it brought the apostle who loved them into agony over the state of their souls? Because it called into question whether their Christianity was genuinely about knowing God--which can only come by being known by God in the means that He has appointed for that purpose. https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/1125191216426757 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 24 Nov 2019 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:16:40 no James Hakim - Galatians https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/1118191339201843 https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/1118191339201843 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 17 Nov 2019 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:10:00 no James Hakim - Galatians https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/1111191441592558 All believers are one in Christ through faith and have been baptized into Him. https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/1111191441592558 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 10 Nov 2019 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:13:54 no James Hakim - Galatians https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/11419151053931 If God's people have always been saved by grace then why was the law given? Here we learn that the law was given a guardian for God's people. https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/11419151053931 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 03 Nov 2019 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:13:25 no James Hakim - Galatians https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/1028191150136311 God cannot lie. He does not change his covenant. Righteousness is not through the law now because it never was through the law. https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/1028191150136311 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 27 Oct 2019 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:18:39 no James Hakim - Galatians https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/1021191218142748 Christ has freed us from the law. He became a curse for us. Our only right response is obedience and love towards Him. https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/1021191218142748 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 20 Oct 2019 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:11:52 no James Hakim - Galatians https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/9241904657402 In Abraham, all the nations of the world are blessed by sharing the faith of Abraham. And they are thereby made sons of Abraham. https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/9241904657402 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 22 Sep 2019 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:12:29 no James Hakim - Galatians https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/916191223223858 God grows us in holiness not by works of the law but by the hearing of faith. https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/916191223223858 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 15 Sep 2019 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:16:57 no James Hakim - Galatians https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/9919121775530 Though in our sanctification we keep the law, the ability to do so comes only by faith in Christ. To make law-keeping into what powers our sanctification is to undo justification by grace through faith. https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/9919121775530 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 08 Sep 2019 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:18:11 no James Hakim - Galatians https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/92191740561086 We stand justified before God not because of our works. But rather because of our faith in Christ and His righteousness counted on our behalf. https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/92191740561086 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 01 Sep 2019 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:13:42 no James Hakim - Galatians https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/82719027193187 Boldness and Humility https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/82719027193187 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 25 Aug 2019 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:22:02 no James Hakim - Galatians https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/81919133832459 https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/81919133832459 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 18 Aug 2019 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:15:25 no James Hakim - Galatians https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/812191551246510 https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/812191551246510 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 11 Aug 2019 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:15:53 no James Hakim - Galatians https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/728192157227880 The Gospel is not made of a man's pedigree, past, or performance. It is the work of a person, Jesus Christ. https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/728192157227880 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 28 Jul 2019 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:15:30 no James Hakim - Galatians https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/722191430171903 Laying something else down alongside the Gospel is to turn away from the gospel altogether. This was a SURPRISE to the apostle--which warns us that we must be watchful of ourselves, for this happens to those about whom it is a surprise. The SERIOUSNESS of this is not just because an important doctrine is at stake, but because turning away from the gospel is turning away from a *Person*--Jesus Himself. And the SEVERITY of the consequences are such that those who turn away from Jesus suffer everlasting condemnation under His wrath. https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/722191430171903 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 21 Jul 2019 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:12:21 no James Hakim - Galatians https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/715191254413508 We must depend on God's method for the growth and shepherding of the Church. https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/715191254413508 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 14 Jul 2019 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:17:02 no James Hakim - Galatians
