Listen "Who Bewitched You?"
Episode Synopsis
Are you running your race of faith, only to find yourself crawling toward the finish line? Have you felt the pressure to add something to the finished work of Christ—traditions, moral performance, cultural approval—hoping to be truly complete? In Galatians 3, the apostle Paul delivers a direct and urgent wake-up call: “O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you?” Discover with us the foundational truths of the Christian gospel—salvation by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone—and why any attempt to add to it is a betrayal of the cross and a curse upon your spiritual journey.
In this message, we unpack:
The rhetorical questions that expose the absurdity of trying to earn what God freely gives.
Abraham’s story: Justified by faith, not law-keeping. Every believer can become a child of promise.
Modern “bewitchments”: progressive Christianity, social justice as a substitute for the gospel, sexual ideology, and therapeutic religion. How these trends infiltrate the church and lure us away from biblical faith.
The cross of Christ shatters human pride and self-sufficiency. It reminds us that true spiritual power begins and ends with what Jesus accomplished—nothing more, nothing less. Watch now to examine your own heart: Are you trusting in Christ’s finished work or your own performance? Let this sermon call you back to the simplicity and offense of the gospel, and empower you to run the race God gave you—from start to finish—by faith alone.
