This Is Why Your Faith Is Stuck | Galatians 4:8-5:1

Paul looks at a church that's getting more serious about God and tells them they're walking backward. Not sideways. Backward — toward the same slavery they came out of.In Galatians 4:8–5:1, he flattens a distinction we assume is obvious. Rules and ruin end up in the same column, because both of them are the flesh trying to manage what only God can produce. And the charge against religious performance isn't that it's arrogant. It's that it's weak. It cannot do what you're asking it to do.If you've been a Christian for years and you're not further along than you were, this message is for you. You didn't stall out because you needed more effort. The effort was the stall.The work for you is finished. The work in you is not.Don't go back. Christ isn't done.—TURNED LOOSE | Week 6Galatians 4:8-5:1Pastor Greg RainsTurned Loose is an 8-week series through the book of Galatians at Northview Church in Kodak, Tennessee.—Northview Church exists to help people grow in their love for Jesus and become disciples who make disciples.
