[3199.40 --> 3201.18] the Judaizers were trying to do was,
[3201.48 --> 3202.74] they were trying to define
[3202.74 --> 3204.78] who the real family of God were,
[3205.02 --> 3206.74] who the real children of God were,
[3206.86 --> 3208.72] but by their own
[3208.72 --> 3209.98] traditional standards.
[3212.58 --> 3213.82] But this
[3213.82 --> 3215.54] is not right
[3215.54 --> 3216.04] because,
[3216.40 --> 3217.00] in fact,
[3217.34 --> 3218.10] the Galatians,
[3218.24 --> 3219.64] the Gentiles that were called
[3219.64 --> 3220.36] into faith
[3220.36 --> 3222.36] to become children of God
[3222.36 --> 3223.28] was through
[3223.28 --> 3224.24] God's own
[3224.24 --> 3225.38] spirit,
[3226.14 --> 3227.58] through His grace,
[3227.74 --> 3228.46] by faith,
[3229.42 --> 3231.34] not being ethnically Jewish.
[3233.72 --> 3234.68] That's why
[3234.68 --> 3235.78] the gospel message,
[3235.94 --> 3236.32] we say,
[3236.80 --> 3237.68] is Christ.
[3237.68 --> 3240.24] Christ is enough.
[3241.64 --> 3243.20] Jesus is the answer.
[3243.92 --> 3245.14] He has invited
[3245.14 --> 3246.10] into His family.
[3246.48 --> 3247.96] The Master has called us
[3247.96 --> 3248.62] into His family.
[3248.98 --> 3250.18] Who is going to say,
[3250.60 --> 3250.84] no,
[3251.24 --> 3252.16] you still have to get
[3252.16 --> 3252.94] circumcised,
[3253.04 --> 3253.72] circumcised.
[3253.96 --> 3254.18] No,
[3254.32 --> 3255.36] you still have to keep
[3255.36 --> 3256.26] dietary laws.
[3256.92 --> 3257.90] You have to fit
[3257.90 --> 3259.40] into a specific mold,
[3259.62 --> 3260.84] otherwise you don't belong.
[3263.32 --> 3264.24] Paul says,
[3264.48 --> 3264.80] no,
[3265.36 --> 3266.62] you do belong.
[3266.62 --> 3268.50] you do belong
[3268.50 --> 3269.36] in God's family.
[3271.58 --> 3271.86] And so,
[3272.02 --> 3273.20] I don't know if you can
[3273.20 --> 3273.84] catch it here.
[3274.76 --> 3275.68] And Pastor Dave
[3275.68 --> 3276.18] mentioned this
[3276.18 --> 3276.62] at the beginning
[3276.62 --> 3277.28] of our series
[3277.28 --> 3278.06] of Galatians.
[3278.78 --> 3279.94] What do we,
[3280.48 --> 3281.18] whether subtly
[3281.18 --> 3282.80] or explicitly,
[3283.46 --> 3284.92] add to our gospel
[3284.92 --> 3286.52] to define
[3286.52 --> 3288.32] who real Christians are?
[3288.32 --> 3288.44] God.
[3290.20 --> 3290.68] So,
[3290.74 --> 3291.36] think about it.
[3291.68 --> 3292.24] When we have
[3292.24 --> 3292.72] new members
[3292.72 --> 3293.66] coming into our church
[3293.66 --> 3294.58] or new people
[3294.58 --> 3295.20] that just come
[3295.20 --> 3296.16] and join us
[3296.16 --> 3296.68] for worship,
[3297.64 --> 3299.04] what do we ask
[3299.04 --> 3299.82] or require
[3299.82 --> 3300.64] them
[3300.64 --> 3303.16] to join our church,
[3303.40 --> 3304.26] to belong here?
[3305.26 --> 3306.38] Do we ask them
[3306.38 --> 3307.18] or require them
[3307.18 --> 3307.98] to be more Dutch
[3307.98 --> 3308.82] or Korean?
[3309.66 --> 3310.76] Do we ask them
[3310.76 --> 3311.68] to sing more
[3311.68 --> 3312.36] Hillsong
[3312.36 --> 3313.48] instead of hymns
[3313.48 --> 3313.94] because we're
[3313.94 --> 3314.66] more contemporary?
[3314.66 --> 3316.72] Do we ask them
[3316.72 --> 3318.90] to dress less formally?
[3319.36 --> 3320.06] Dress casually.
[3320.34 --> 3321.20] We're not that traditional.
[3321.62 --> 3321.72] Oh,
[3321.74 --> 3322.44] you don't belong here
[3322.44 --> 3323.14] if you wear a suit.
[3323.82 --> 3324.44] It's weird how
[3324.44 --> 3325.42] things flip around,
[3325.54 --> 3325.66] huh?
[3326.50 --> 3327.22] Because the church,
[3327.38 --> 3328.22] the traditional church
[3328.22 --> 3328.86] I grew up in,
[3329.08 --> 3329.78] if you're a pastor
[3329.78 --> 3330.62] and you don't wear a tie,
