Experiencing God through Faith (Galatians 3:1-5)

Apr 12, 2026    Will Jacobs


In Epistle to the Galatians 3:1–5, Paul confronts a dangerous drift—from a vibrant, Spirit-filled faith to a performance-based mindset. The Galatians had not only heard the gospel—they had experienced God’s power among them. So why turn back to striving?

This sermon explores the difference between merely knowing about God and truly experiencing Him. We’ll see that the Christian life doesn’t begin by faith and then continue by effort—it is sustained the same way it starts: through faith in Christ. If you’ve ever felt stuck, distant, or like you’re trying to earn what God has already given, this passage calls you back to the simplicity and power of faith.

Come rediscover how God works—not through your striving, but through your trusting.
