PROOF That People Are Saved by Grace Through Faith | An Overview of Galatians 1
In this compelling message from Hill City Church, Pastor Adam starts a new series called "Galatians", and in this sermon guides us through chapter 1. Widely believed to be the Apostle Paul’s first letter, Galatians was written to the churches Paul and Barnabas helped establish on their first missionary journey. These churches had been grounded in the truth of salvation by grace through faith, yet Paul expresses astonishment that they were so quickly turning to a different gospel—a gospel that was no gospel at all. Pastor Adam explains how false teachers were unsettling the Gentile believers by requiring them to follow the Mosaic law and circumcision, distorting the purity of the gospel of Christ.
Pastor Adam draws a clear line between the true gospel and its modern perversions—whether it be faith plus law, works without faith, good deeds alone, or faith without obedience. These distortions still creep into the church today, but Paul’s bold declaration remains: If anyone preaches another gospel, let them be accursed. Through scripture and thoughtful insight, Pastor Adam challenges listeners to measure every teaching against the Word of God. Even if an angel were to preach a different message, it must be rejected. The Word—not experience or tradition—is our final authority.
The message also dives into the full rescue Jesus provides: from guilt, from the power and temptation of sin, and from the moral darkness of this present world. Through Christ, we are not only forgiven—we are set free. Pastor Adam reminds us that Jesus didn’t come to make us better people; He came to give us new life. And just as Paul was set apart from birth by God’s grace, so are we. The call is clear: live as a By Faith Christian. No more condemnation. No more chains. No more fear. Just freedom, truth, and identity rooted in Christ alone.
