Carrying Burdens || Freedom in Jesus || Galatians 6:1-18

The final chapter of Paul's letter to the Galatians leaves us with an encouragement to support our brothers and sisters in Christ; carrying one another's burdens. As Paul has made clear throughout this letter, we're a family of believers, and mutual care should characterise our community. 
Tim concludes our Freedom in Jesus series, with Galatians 6:1-18.

Feeling Like You Aren't Good Enough? || Freedom in Jesus || Galatians 5:13-25

Do you ever feel like you aren't good enough? In this part of Paul's letter to the Galatians, he lists a whole range of things that are in opposition to living "in the Spirit", or living to get your own way; from sexual immorality, to witchcraft, envy and drunkenness. Just reading this passage at face value, you could come to the conclusion that if you can check off each one of these things as something you don't do (much), then you're good with God - or the inverse, if you have done these things, you're not good with God.
Andi Fidock takes a look at this list, and one that follows, with the lens of the grace of Jesus - that we don't need to do anything to be loved more by God, nor can we do anything to make God love us less.
