Tried and True (2 of 9)
Series: Do You Want to be Free?, Vol. 1

Galatians 1:10-24
There was a couple that was celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary, their golden wedding anniversary.

And they developed churches there and planted churches there. And as soon as they left those places, they weren't gone very long before Jews came in and the Judaizers, they were those who had a different gospel. And their gospel was, "Yes, Jesus died on the cross. And, yes, Jesus is Messiah. But you have to become a Jew." And Paul was preaching to Gentiles and preaching about grace. And these guys were coming in behind him and they were taking ...
