The Man of God is Not Your Enemy
Galatians 4:11-16 Introduction Paul faced a painful reality: people he had personally led to Christ and invested his life in were turning away from the truths he preached.

Tonight we study that question under the sermon title, “The Man of God is Not Your Enemy.” Our purpose is not to make anyone feel condemned but to see why preaching the…
