Let’s sing about the Lord! The greatness of our God, For He’s the King of everything.
We’re wild about his love. And all that he has done, For He’s the King of everything.
I know God; I talk about him Every single day I pray to him at all times; He’s the only way.
I love him! He loves me, No matter where I go, And everything I do will be for God and God alone.

Scripture Readings — Galatians 5:1-6 (New Testament, Page 190 in NRSV pew Bible)
For freedom Christ has set us free. Stand firm, therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery. Listen! I, Paul, am telling you that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will be of no benefit to you.
Once again I testify to every man who lets himself be circumcised that he is obliged to obey the entire law. You who want to be justified by the law have cut yourselves off from Christ; you have fallen away from grace.
For through the Spirit, by faith, we eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness.
For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything; the only thing that counts is faith working through love.
