    Faith, Love, and Victory in Christ | 1 John 5

    In this message, Gary Flom walks through 1 John 5 and reveals the deep connection between faith, love, obedience, and eternal life. John shows that true faith in Jesus Christ is never empty. Real faith produces love for God, love for others, and a life shaped by obedience from the heart.This sermon explores how faith and love work together as evidence of new birth in Christ. Believing that Jesus is the Son of God changes the way we live, the way we love, and the way we endure the struggles of this world. Through Christ, believers are not left in bondage, but are given victory, assurance, and the promise of eternal life.Gary Flom also explains the testimony of the water, the blood, and the Spirit, showing how God Himself bears witness that Jesus is the promised Messiah. This teaching brings confidence to every believer that salvation is not built on human effort, but on the finished work of Christ and the cleansing power of His blood.This message is a powerful reminder that Christians still struggle in the flesh, yet they are covered by the blood of Jesus. The believer’s security is found in Christ, not in perfection. If you need encouragement, assurance, and a clearer understanding of 1 John 5, this sermon offers biblical truth and hope.📖 Featured Scriptures ⇩1 John 5:1-21Ephesians 1:15Colossians 1:4John 16:33Romans 8:16Galatians 4:62 Timothy 1:101 John 1:7🗝️ Key Topics ⇩Faith and love in the Christian lifeEvidence of being born of GodObedience as an expression of loveVictory over the world through faithThe testimony of the water, blood, and SpiritAssurance of eternal life in ChristPrayer according to the will of GodSin, forgiveness, and the cleansing blood of JesusThe believer’s struggle with the fleshConfidence in Christ’s finished workJoin us for an inspiring journey through themes of faith, love, and eternal purpose.

    Jesus Our Advocate & Propitiation: Light in Job’s Darkness 1 John 2

    When John wrote 1 John, he described God as light—and light has a way of exposing what’s real. In this message, we connect that truth to Job’s season of darkness: loss, grief, confusion, and even accusation from those who should have comforted him.Job didn’t know what was happening while he suffered, but later he learned that God was in charge, and that even suffering can be used for God’s purposes. We also reflect on the promise of Romans 8:28—that God works all things together for good for those who love Him and are called according to His purpose.From there, we move into 1 John 2, where John highlights two powerful realities in our relationship with Jesus:Jesus is our Advocate — like a defense attorney, standing for us before the Father.Jesus is our Propitiation — the atoning sacrifice, the “evidence” that our sin debt has been paid.Because Christ has taken our curse and penalty upon Himself, believers are no longer condemned. And that changes how we live: knowing Jesus produces obedience, and obedience reveals love. John reminds us that love is both an “old” command and a “new” command—fulfilled not by legalism, but by a transformed heart under the New Covenant.Finally, we’re warned not to love the world system—defined by lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, and pride of life—because it is passing away. Instead, we are called to abide in Christ, walk in the light, love one another, and stand confident in Him.📖 Featured Scriptures ⇩1 John 1 (God is Light)Job (suffering, endurance, restoration)Romans 8:281 John 2:1–2 (Advocate & Propitiation)Romans 3 (Atonement/Propitiation)Galatians 3:10 (Curse of the Law)1 John 2:3–6 (Obedience as evidence of knowing Him)1 John 2:7–11 (Old/New commandment, love vs hatred)Matthew 5:43–44 (Love your enemies)1 John 2:15–17 (Do not love the world)Genesis 3:6 (lust of flesh/eyes/pride)1 John 2:18–27 (Antichrist, truth, anointing)1 John 2:28–29 (Abide, confidence, righteousness)🗝️ Key Topics ⇩God is Light / Darkness exposedJob’s suffering and God’s sovereigntyEndurance, faithfulness, and purposeRomans 8:28 and God’s good planJesus our Advocate (Defense Attorney)Jesus our Propitiation (Atoning Sacrifice)Curse of the law and substitutionKnowing Jesus leads to obedienceLove fulfilled in the New CovenantWalking in the light vs hatredWorldliness: lust, pride, passing desiresThe “last hour” and spiritual deceptionAbiding in Christ with confidenceJoin us for an inspiring journey through themes of faith, love, and eternal purpose.

    Freedom in Christ: Don’t Return to the Yoke of Slavery | Galatians 5:1–6

    In this message from our Galatians study, we slow down and ask the questions many skip: Who wrote the letter, who it was written to, and—most importantly—why it was written. Paul is addressing a real problem: false teachers were pulling believers away from Christ and back to the Law.Galatians 5 opens with a powerful declaration: Christ set us free for freedom. The Law is described as a yoke of slavery—a system that demands perfect obedience but offers no forgiveness. Jesus bore our burden, paid our debt, and calls us to stand firm in grace.We explore Paul’s warning about the consequences of seeking justification by the Law, and we also look at how spiritual freedom is maintained by faith, empowered by the Holy Spirit, and expressed through love. Finally, we learn how to recognize false teaching and why even “a little yeast” can spread through the whole body.You were called to be free—don’t go back.📖 Featured Scriptures ⇩Galatians 5:1–6 (Freedom in Christ; faith expressing itself through love)Galatians 5:2–4 (Four consequences of seeking justification by Law)Galatians 5:7–9 (False teachers hinder; “a little yeast…”)John 1:17 (Law through Moses; grace and truth through Jesus Christ)🗝️ Key Topics ⇩Reading NT letters with purpose (author, audience, reason)The Law as a yoke of slaveryFreedom in Christ vs. bondage under legalismGrace: Jesus paid our debt and bore our punishmentFour dangers of trying to be justified by the LawThe Spirit works through faithFaith that matters: faith expressing itself through loveDiscernment: recognizing false teachers (“who cut in on you?”)“A little yeast” and how small errors spreadCalled to be free—standing firm in graceJoin us for an inspiring journey through themes of faith, love, and eternal purpose.

    The Gospel Fits Every Culture (Galatians 4:12–31) | Freedom Over Law

    In Galatians 4, Paul makes a personal appeal: “Brethren, I urge you to become like me, for I became like you.” He’s reminding the Galatians that the gospel isn’t tied to one culture, one tradition, or one set of external regulations—it’s adaptable to every human culture without changing its truth. Paul laid aside legalistic boundaries that divided Jew and Gentile and brought both together under grace. This message challenges how we think about ministry and discipleship. A true servant of Christ doesn’t try to “convert” people into a foreign lifestyle—they help people follow Jesus within their own culture, while still calling every heart to righteousness and truth. The gospel doesn’t change, but how it’s communicated must meet people where they are. Paul also reminds the Galatians of how they once welcomed him—even though he carried a physical infirmity that “put them to the test.” God did not remove Paul’s weakness, but He used it to reveal the hearts of those hearing the message: would they receive truth even when the messenger wasn’t impressive? Then Paul exposes the motive of false teachers: they pursue people zealously, but for selfish gain—to separate believers from the apostle’s message and make them dependent on themselves. Paul’s heart is different. He describes himself like a mother in labor—willing to suffer again until Christ is formed in them. That’s the true measure of ministry: not drawing people to a teacher, a movement, or a tradition—but drawing them to Christ. Finally, Paul uses Abraham’s two sons—Ishmael and Isaac—as a powerful illustration of two covenants: bondage under law vs. freedom in promise. Hagar represents slavery; Sarah represents grace. The conclusion is clear: believers are not children of the slave woman—we are children of the free woman. We were not born again to live under bondage, but to live in the freedom Christ provides. Galatians 4:12–31 Galatians 4:12 — “Become like me… for I became like you.” Galatians 4:13–15 — Paul’s infirmity and the Galatians’ former joy Galatians 4:19 — “Until Christ is formed in you.” Galatians 4:21–23 — Abraham’s two sons: flesh vs. promise Galatians 4:26 — “Jerusalem above… is our mother.” Galatians 4:30–31 — “Cast out the bondwoman… we are children of the free.” The gospel is adaptable to every culture Grace unites Jew and Gentile Ministry that integrates instead of forcing cultural change God using weakness to test hearts False teachers and manipulative motives Paul’s burden: Christ formed in believers Law vs. promise: bondage vs. freedom Living as children of the free woman (grace) 📖 Featured Scriptures ⇩🗝️ Key Topics ⇩

    From Law’s Tutor to Grace’s Adoption | Galatians 3:24–4:9

    In today’s Into The Text study, we continue verse-by-verse through Galatians, finishing the flow of Galatians 3:24–29 and stepping into Galatians 4:1–9. Paul explains the purpose of the Law as a tutor/schoolmaster (paidagogos)—a guardian meant to guide and restrain until we are brought to Christ.We explore the difference between living under law (black-and-white, condemnation, no mercy) and living under grace (forgiveness, freedom, and life in the Spirit). The message highlights how the Old Covenant served as spiritual “childhood,” preparing God’s people to understand the necessity of the cross and to receive the inheritance that comes through Jesus.You’ll also hear a powerful illustration of maturity: when love replaces external rules—because a changed heart no longer needs a list. Paul’s point becomes clear: in Christ we are children of God by faith, clothed with Christ, made one family, and adopted as sons—no longer slaves, but heirs.Key emphasis: The Law reveals our need for a Savior; Grace provides forgiveness and freedom—and calls us to live from the heart, not mere external control.📖 Featured Scriptures ⇩Galatians 3:24–29Galatians 4:1–9Matthew 12:50Leviticus 16 (Day of Atonement / scapegoat picture)🗝️ Key Topics ⇩The Law as tutor/schoolmaster (paidagogos)Law vs. Grace: condemnation vs. forgivenessSpiritual maturity: love doesn’t need a listBaptism as being “clothed with Christ”One family in Christ: unity beyond ethnicity/status/genderAdoption as sons, heirs through Christ“Elementary principles” and returning to bondageOld Covenant preparation for the gospelJoin us for an inspiring journey through themes of faith, love, and eternal purpose.

    Faith vs Law | Christ Redeems Us from the Curse | Galatians 3:10–24

    In this Riverside Sermons message, Gary Flom walks through Galatians 3 to show why relying on the works of the law leaves every person under a curse—because the law demands perfect obedience and offers no forgiveness. Paul’s point to the Galatians is clear: no one is justified before God by the law, but “the righteous shall live by faith.”We explore the difference between law obedience (external code, ritual, procedure) and faith obedience (a heart transformed by God’s grace). The law reveals sin and imprisons humanity under its guilt, but the promise given to Abraham points to the coming Seed—Christ—who redeems us from the curse by becoming a curse for us. Jesus paid the price to “buy us out” of slavery, so that the blessing promised to Abraham could come to all nations and we might receive the promised Spirit through faith.This teaching also highlights God’s plan from the beginning: the law identifies the problem, but the promise reveals the solution. Our hope is not in law-keeping for salvation, but in the faithfulness of Jesus Christ and the grace that sets sinners free.📌 Passage Focus: Galatians 3:10–24⏱️ Theme: The law exposes sin; Christ fulfills the promise and removes the curse.📖 Featured Scriptures ⇩Galatians 3:10–14Galatians 3:15–24Habakkuk 2:4 (quoted in Galatians 3:11)Deuteronomy 27:26 (cursed if not obeying all the law)Deuteronomy 21:23 (cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree)1 Peter 1:18–19 (redeemed by Christ’s precious blood)1 Timothy 1:8–11 (the law and its purpose)Luke 18:9–14 (Pharisee and tax collector)John 10:17–18 (Jesus lays down His life voluntarily)🗝️ Key Topics ⇩The curse of relying on works of the lawWhy breaking one point makes a person guilty of allNo forgiveness found in the lawJustification by faith, not by law-keepingFaith obedience vs ritual/code obedienceChrist redeeming us—“buying out of slavery”The promise to Abraham vs the covenant to MosesThe Seed promise fulfilled in ChristThe law’s purpose: revealing sin and showing our needGrace that frees and transforms the heartJoin us for an inspiring journey through themes of faith, love, and eternal purpose.

    Faith Of Christ vs Faith In Christ | Galatians 2:16–3:9

    Today’s study covers the full flow of Paul’s argument from Galatians 2:16 through Galatians 3:9. Paul insists that no one is justified by works of law instead, we are declared righteous through faith, centered on the faithfulness of Jesus Christ and our trust in Him.In Galatians 2:16–21, we carefully consider the wording often translated as faith “in” Christ versus faith “of” Christ, emphasizing Christ’s perfect obedience and faithfulness that fulfilled the law and secured redemption. Salvation is not earned by human performance; it is received as a gift of grace. Paul’s life-defining confession follows: “I have been crucified with Christ… Christ lives in me” (2:20). If justification could come through law, then Christ’s death would be meaningless—yet Paul makes clear it is grace that saves.Moving into Galatians 3:1–5, Paul confronts the Galatians with a simple question to force honest reasoning: Did you receive the Spirit by works of law, or by believing what you heard? The Spirit did not come through law-keeping, but through faith-response to the gospel.Finally, Galatians 3:6–9 anchors this message in Abraham: Abraham was counted righteous by faith before the law existed, proving that those who believe—Jew and Gentile alike—are the true descendants of Abraham and recipients of God’s promised blessing.This passage is a powerful call to leave legalism behind, rest in Christ’s completed work, and live in the freedom of grace through faith.📖 Featured Scriptures ⇩Galatians 2:16–21Galatians 3:1–9Acts 2 (promise and giving of the Holy Spirit)Acts 10:34–35 (God shows no partiality)Romans 9:6–8 (children of promise)Genesis 12:3 (blessing to the nations through Abraham)🗝️ Key Topics ⇩Justification apart from works of lawFaith of Christ vs faith in Christ (translation emphasis)Grace cannot be nullified“Crucified with Christ” identity (Galatians 2:20)Why law identifies sin but cannot saveReceiving the Spirit by faith, not law-keepingAbraham: righteousness counted by faith before the lawGentiles included in the promise and blessingLiving by grace with obedient hearts (not legalistic bondage)Join us for an inspiring journey through themes of faith, love, and eternal purpose.

    Paul’s Apostleship, Freedom from Law, and Grace | Galations 1:13-2:10

    In this Riverside Sermons Bible teaching, we continue our study through Galatians and revisit the purpose of the letter—especially Paul’s defense that his gospel and apostleship were from Jesus Christ, not from man.We walk through Paul’s past in Judaism, his dramatic conversion, and why that radical change points to God’s direct work. We also look at the Jerusalem meeting (Acts 15) and how Paul’s message matched the apostles—confirming the gospel of grace for both Jews and Gentiles.This teaching highlights the danger of false teachers who try to spy out Christian freedom and pull believers back into bondage under the law, and it ends with a powerful reminder: your sin cannot be so great that it cannot be forgiven—and we must not hold someone’s past against them.👍 Like, subscribe, and share to help others grow in God’s Word.🔔 Turn on notifications so you don’t miss the next message.Source transcript:📖 Featured Scriptures ⇩Galatians 1:13–24 — Paul’s former life, calling, and God’s work in his conversionGalatians 2:1–10 — Jerusalem meeting; Titus not compelled to becircumcisedActs 9 — The Damascus road encounterActs 15 — The law/circumcision question and the GentilesActs 1:8 — Apostles as appointed witnessesJohn 14:26 — The Holy Spirit teaching and reminding1 Timothy 1:13–16 — Mercy and grace for the former blasphemer/persecutorJeremiah 1:5 — Set apart before birth (calling)🗝️ Key Topics ⇩Why Galatians was written and what was at stakePaul’s defense: apostle of Christ vs. “sent by men”The meaning of being a witness and the cost paid by the apostlesPaul’s background in Judaism and why his conversion was humanly “impossible”God’s calling and the idea of being set apart from the wombJerusalem council (Acts 15): circumcision and the GentilesThe threat of false teachers and spiritual “enslavement”Old Covenant bondage vs. New Covenant freedomGrace, forgiveness, and not weaponizing someone’s pastRemembering the poor as a gospel-shaped priorityJoin us for an inspiring journey through themes of faith, love, and eternal purpose.
