Description: 
In this sermon, Pastor Ian Thompson continues our journey through Paul’s letter to the Galatians, exploring one of the most urgent and clarifying passages in the epistle. Paul asks the foundational question: “Why then the law?” and unfolds three layers that reveal the true purpose of the law, the supremacy of the promise, and the identity of every believer in Christ.

This message examines:

• The purpose of the law — revealing sin, restraining sin, and driving us to Christ.
• The temporary nature of the ceremonial law and the enduring role of the moral law.
• The schoolmaster image — how the law escorts us to Christ, but cannot save us.
• The superiority of the promise — given directly by God to Abraham.
• The unity of believers — “neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female.”
• Putting on Christ — being clothed in His righteousness and adopted into God’s family.
• Living as heirs, not slaves — walking in confidence, grace, unity, and love.

Pastor Ian also offers pastoral reflections for the weary, the proud, and the uncertain, reminding us that our identity is no longer defined by our past, but by faith in Christ alone.
