Send us a text In this message, Dr. Fletcher continues his series from Galatians, "Living In Glorious Liberty." The grace of God is seen in His unconditional gift of salvation. When man tries to earn it, he is making it void. It is no longer by grace if man deserves it or earns it. Paul’s final thrust at Peter is effective. If Peter could obtain favor with God by Jewish observances, then Christ died for nothing; He literally threw His life away. Christ died because man could obtain righteousness...

Add anything to the gospel—religion, feelings, obedience to biblical imperatives—and you nullify its sufficiency. It is complete—nothing else is needed.

Send us a text The Spirit of Fear DEFINITION: If there is an inability to deal with and overcome a fear; if the fear causes torment and/or loss of self-control, then there is a strong possibility the individual is dealing with the Spirit of Fear rather than a normal physical mental situation.
Send us a text Fear can best be described as: “An attitude of anxiety or distress caused by concern over a threat to one’s future. Scripture provides numerous examples of situations in which fear is experienced. It declares, however, that God alone is to be feared, and moments of human fear can be opportunities for deepening faith in him.” [1] In light of the panic and anxiety, Dr. Fletcher offers some sound, Biblical advice.
