Pastor Rick Beaudry reads Galatians 3:23–29 and unpacks what it means to be “in Christ,” contrasting the law’s role as a schoolmaster that kept people under bondage with the freedom faith brings. He highlights the first of three blessings—freedom—using biblical images (Noah’s ark, Joseph, Paul’s conversion), personal testimony, and pastoral warnings about cultural drift to show that true transformation produces the fruit of the Spirit, especially love and sanctification. Urging us to cultivate devotion, repentance, and watchfulness for Christ’s return, he calls for a gospel-centered life shaped by grace rather than mere external compliance.
