They're Twisting God's Law (3/3/24)

Many American Evangelical pastors fall into one of two errors. They reduce everything in God's Word down to the Gospel or they turn everything in Scripture into Law. Both are horrible errors that terrorize Christian hearts. In this sermon, I tell you about these errors, how the devil uses them against you, and give you the Law and this Gospel, rightly distinguished for your blessing!
