Have you ever found yourself trying to earn God’s favor, feeling like your worth is tied to how well you follow the rules? In his message, “Freedom in Jesus: Divine Grace vs. Legalism,” Pastor JC Cooper unpacks Galatians 4:8-31, where the Apostle Paul pleads with the Galatian believers not to turn back to the bondage of the law. Through a powerful illustration from the Old Testament—the contrast between Ishmael, the son of slavery, and Isaac, the son of promise—Paul reminds us that we are saved by grace alone, not by our own efforts. Pastor JC brings this truth to life, revealing how legalism creeps into our walk with Christ and how only God’s grace leads to true freedom.

This message is an invitation to step out of the exhausting cycle of performance-based faith and into the liberating grace of Jesus. Pastor JC challenges us to examine our hearts: Are we living as children of promise, resting in God’s love, or are we striving to earn His approval? This teaching will encourage, convict, and realign your heart with the gospel’s central truth—salvation is a gift, not a transaction. Don’t miss this opportunity to be refreshed and renewed in the freedom that Christ has secured for you!
