Well, good morning. And yeah, thank you all for having me here. We drove down this week from Minnesota,

all the way down to here in Texas. And so the first thing I noticed is it is, it's hot here. So I,

my church doesn't even have air conditioning. And so in the summer, it's a little warm.

But even with the air conditioning here, it's like, I need something.

I know I'm going to be dripping all over my Bible by the time we're done here.

But the passage I have selected today to read and to preach on is Galatians 3, verses 15 to 29.

And I don't know if you guys stand for God's word or if you don't.

You do?

Yeah, all right.

Well, please stand for the reading of God's word.

Brethren, I speak in the manner of men though it is only a man's covenant yet if it is confirmed no one annuls or adds to it now to abraham and his seed were the promises made he does not not say, and to seeds, as of many, but as of one, and to your seed, who is Christ.

And this I say that the law, which was 430 years later, cannot annul the covenant that was

confirmed by God in Christ that it

should make the promise of no effect for the inheritance is of the law it is no

longer of promise but God gave it to Abraham by promise what purpose then does

the law serve it was added because of transgressions till the seed should come to who the promise was made.

And it was appointed through angels by the hand of a mediator.

Now a mediator does not mediate for one only, but God is one.

Is the law then against the promises of God?

Certainly not.

For if there had been a law given which could have given life, truly righteousness

would have been by the law.
