In this message from Galatians 3:1–9, Rev. Dr. Brian Ebel addresses the danger of confusing the gospel with self-effort. Looking at the early church and the teaching of Pelagianism, we’re reminded how easy it is to drift into believing that we can earn or improve our way into righteousness.

But the truth of the gospel is clear: we are not saved by what we do, but by what God has done through Jesus Christ. Faith, not effort, is what brings transformation.

This sermon calls us back to the foundation of our faith, inviting us to trust fully in God’s grace rather than relying on our own strength.
