Grace Church Eden Prairie

Pastor Jim Erickson continues the Galatians series with an emphasis that Christ has set believers free—not for legalism or self-indulgence, but for love and service. He discusses how Paul warns the Galatians against returning to the "yoke of slavery" under the law, stressing that salvation comes by grace through faith alone, not by works or rituals like circumcision. Pastor Jim challenged listeners to submit to Christ daily, use freedom to love others, and build up the church rather than tear it down.

Pastor Troy Dobbs emphasizes that true identity is found not in personality labels or social categories, but through faith in Christ, which makes us adopted sons and daughters of God. This new identity unites all believers, transcending race, class, and gender, and calls the church to live out diversity, equity, and inclusion according to God’s design. He warns against secular distortions of these concepts and urges believers to live out a love and truth that is rooted in God's Word.

Pastor Troy continues the Galatians series with an emphasis that salvation comes by faith alone, not by works or adherence to the Law. He unpacks Paul's rebuke of the Galatians for turning back to legalism, reminding them that even Abraham was justified by faith before the Law or circumcision existed. Pastor Troy highlights that relying on the law places us under a curse by our inability to meet the standard, but Christ redeemed us by fulfilling the Law and becoming a curse for us.

Pastor Troy Dobbs differentiates and warns Christians about following the false gospels of Legalism and License. 

Pastor Troy unpacks the confrontation between Paul and Peter, highlighting the danger of compromising the gospel through hypocrisy and legalism and emphasizing that justification—being declared righteous before God—is a gift received through faith, not earned by human effort.

Pastor Troy continues the Galatians series by emphasizing that sharing the gospel isn’t enough — we must also stand firm in defending the truth that salvation comes by grace through faith in Christ alone. He highlights how Paul’s meeting with the apostles affirmed this message and modeled the importance of gospel-centered unity and conviction.

Pastor Troy kicks off the Galatians series with a message on how saved by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone is the only true Gospel, and any addition, subtraction, or distortion of that is not truly the gospel of Jesus Christ.
