Hindrances to Faith

Galatians 5:7

Four sad words found in our verse tonight, 'You Did Run Well'. They speak of past blessings, but also of present failure. What were some of the former blessings in Galatia?

Something had happened. They had been obedient, they had been running the race well. However, Paul points out that something or someone had been hindering their faith. That is not just true of the believers in Galatia. It is also true of us today. Many start out serving God, but somewhere along the way wind up by the wayside. Consider with me tonight some of the hindrances of our faith.

I. The Hindrance of False Teachers (1:1-9)

I. The Hindrance of False Teachers

II. The Hindrance of Fighting Christians

I. The Hindrance of False Teachers

II. The Hindrance of Fighting Christians

III. The Hindrance of Those Given to the Works of the Flesh (vv. 17-21)

Did we once serve Christ better than we do today? If so, then what happened? Who Has Hindered us? False teachers? Fighting Christians? The Works of the Flesh? We must recognize where we are and determine to return to the Lord, and to the place of full surrender unto Him.

Do you need to come tonight? Do you know Him as your Savior? If not, come tonight and receive Him by faith. Whatever your need, come now.
