The Weight of the Whole Law

Oct 15, 2025    Pastor Steven Pettis Jr

In this message from Galatians 5:3, Pastor Steve unpacks a sobering truth: if you attempt to be justified by the law, you are obligated to keep all of it and that’s a burden only Christ could bear. Using the Apostle Paul’s urgent tone, this sermon explores the binding nature of the law, our inability to fulfill it, and the glorious contrast between law and grace.

 

Through illustrations, biblical insight from James 2 and Philippians 2, and a strong gospel call, we’re reminded that the law is not a spiritual buffet it’s a mirror that reveals our inability and need for grace. But where the law condemns, grace covers. And Christ didn’t come to abolish the law He came to fulfill it.

 

Whether you’re a weary believer tempted to perform for God’s approval or a seeker unsure if you’re ready to come to Christ, this message offers a freeing truth: You don’t have to carry the weight Jesus already did.

 

Come discover the beauty of salvation by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone.
