Stand Firm in Your Freedom in Christ

Discussion Questions 

Week of: November 8, 2026 // Sermon Text: Galatians 5:1-15

Sermon Overview 

You are free in Christ; don't look to ANYTHING else to achieve your freedom. 

Digging Deeper    

1. How is the freedom Paul’s talking about in this passage similar or different from how society would think of freedom? (see 5:2-6 and 13-15).

2. What does it mean that the gospel makes both “circumcision and uncircumcision” (religion and irreligion) equally valueless? (vv. 5-6)

3. In what ways do you struggle with indulging your sinful nature? (v. 13). 

4. One of the reasons God spiritually frees us by faith in Christ is to serve one another in love (vs. 13b). How could growth in this area help fight the sin from question #3? 

5. How have you seen others, maybe in Gospel Community or at CrossWay, lovingly serve you? Take time to encourage one another. 

6. Two things are simultaneously happening in the Christian life: (1) an active resisting of sin (vs. 13a) and (2) an active pursuit of serving others in love. How does the gospel help you pursue both these things?

“But the more you know of his infallible fatherly love, the more you are able to realistically face yourself, your flaws and faults. The more you see your sin, the more precious and valuable you find his saving love and grace.”
