Galatians 3:10-

Review

Observation: The message of salvation by grace through faith alone may sound dangerous. Is it?

The goals of today's subject:

Growing deeper in your faith will take you even deeper into God's grace resting in the sufficiency of Christ.

That this increased faith will cause you to exercise your freedom in Christ to know, love and serve Him more and more…
