Faith Comes First

In the sermon "Faith Comes First", given by Pastor Mike Cole, the focus is on the struggle between legalism and faith as illustrated in Galatians, emphasizing that salvation begins and ends with faith, not works. Pastor Mike shares personal anecdotes to highlight how we often try to earn God's favor through our actions, resembling the early church's misguided belief that following laws was necessary for righteousness. By using examples from scripture and parables, his sermon stresses that true understanding of God's Kingdom comes when we prioritize faith over legalistic behavior. Pastor Mike calls on us to allow the Holy Spirit to guide our lives, fostering a relationship rooted in faith rather than a checklist of rules.
