Sermon from September 2


The Temptation to Look Down

Galatians 2: 11 - 21

1. It is difficult, even for Christians, to stop looking down on others.
2. It makes us feel better about ourselves to think of others as sinners or wrong.
3. Legalistic people tend to think of themselves as more righteous than others.
4. Paul says God's Law shows us that we are sinners too.
5. Following the Law cannot save us; only faith in Christ could ever do that.
6. Placing our faith in Christ means we trade our old lives for the new one He gives.
7. When someone demands that you be perfect, he is saying the Jesus' death means nothing.
Romans 6: 1 - 4
