Galatians series message 22
Text: Galatians 6:1-5
Galatians is such a practical letter! Having shown us how not to fulfill the desires of the flesh, Paul now gives concrete guidance on restoring one who is caught in transgression, giving special consideration to the reality of the ones restoring facing temptation themselves. They key in all of this? The antithesis of the previous verse: stay humble and bear one another's burdens!
Galatians series message 21
Text: Galatians 5:25-26
We enter the Kingdom by the Spirit, we live by the Spirit and we must keep in step with the Spirit as we mature in Christ!

His comment on relationships is noteworthy in this context!
Galatians series message 20
Text: Galatians 5:19-23
A partial list of those vices that naturally flow from our sinful nature is contrasted with the fruit of the Spirit. Those who continue in the former will not inherit the Kingdom of God, but the Spirit's fruit is a beautiful work that only He could produce in us!
Galatians series message 19
Text: Galatians 5:16-18
Our freedom in Christ is not a license to indulge ourselves in our fleshly or sinful desires, but how exactly do we resist temptation and stop sinning? Paul is clear: walk by the Spirit. In this message we break down this practical and pivotal statement for all Christ followers.
Galatians series message 18
Text: Galatians 5:7-15
Our key theme keeps rising in Galatians: freedom in Christ. We are free from the crushing burden of proving ourselves through our adherence to the Law. However, our freedom is not freedom to sin. Paul gives the proper place of the Law in the believer's life, which results in loving others well.
Galatians series message 17
Text: Galatians 5:1-6
Our text begins with a profound gospel statement: it is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Paul exhorts the Galatians to stand true to the purity of the gospel and not add works. To add works would be to submit again to a yoke of slavery, the very slavery he just enumerated on in the previous chapter.
Galatians series message 16
Text: Galatians 4:21-31
Paul employs the story of Isaac and Ishmael to demonstrate that the freedom and power the gospel provides are far superior to a life defined by adherence to the Old Testament Law (i.e., legalism).
Galatians series message 15
Text: Galatians 4:8-20
There is nothing greater in life than to be known by God, as that is what it means to know God personally - to be reconciled to Him, to be redeemed and indwelt by His Holy Spirit. Paul continues to express his great concern and affection for the Galatians, longing to see Christ formed in them. When it comes to the gospel, we simply cannot be vague or fuzzy on the details - clarity is needed as we build our lives on solid ground!

Text: Galatians 4:1-7
Our passage gives a stunning perspective on the gospel - powerful words describe what Christ has done for us! Christ brings redemption & freedom, not bondage to legalism and fear.

Text: Galatians 3:21-28
While combatting the Judaizers’ misguided notions regarding the Law, Paul affirms it is not contrary to the promises of God but plays a crucial role in God’s redemptive plan. On Sunday we’ll engage a lofty yet misunderstood statement that define what a Christian is.
Galatians series message 12
Text: Galatians 3:15-20
We're now at the heart of Paul's letter to the Galatians and it's all about Abraham. We'll dig deeper into his significance in the unfolding drama of redemption. Gaining clarity on this brings freedom and joy in our walk with Christ. When we consider the beauty of the gospel, we see God is all-wise and faithful to His promises.

Supplemental Resurrection Day message
Text: Romans 1:1-7
We hear the word "gospel" a lot - but what does it actually mean? It is an announcement of good news! The long awaited Messiah has come; He has died for sins and risen again - good news! Christ Jesus is Lord. The gospel is for everyone, and we are ministers of it!
Galatians series message 10
Text: Galatians 3:11-14
Our desire to contribute to our salvation is deeply ingrained in our thinking. Many turn to the Law or a moral law to do so. But that only brings a curse, because we can never fully keep the Law. And that's why the gospel is such good news! The Law giver submitted Himself to the Law's demands and kept it perfectly - yet, suffered as if He had not. All, to redeem us from the Law's curse! What a stunning passage to consider leading up to Good Friday.
Galatians series message 9
Text: Galatians 3:1-9
Can we be saved through our good works or keeping the law? No - Paul bolts that door shut. There is another important question that needs to be answered, affecting each of us: can I live this Christian life by my own efforts and in my strength? Can I put sin to death or love my neighbor by my own strength and abilities? Judaizers would say yes. The Gospel says no. Neither propositions brought by the Judaizers have any merit and nor do they breathe life, standing in stark contrast to the freedom of the Gospel. That's why the Gospel is good news!
Galatians series message 8
Text: Galatians 2:15-21
In this message we continue on with Peter’s struggle and examine the words of affirmation Paul provides. Let us be aware of the Good News that is inspired for us all. Simply put; there is nothing we can do on our own accord to receive the grace of God but to trust and believe in Him.
Galatians series message 7
Text: Galatians 2:11-14
This week, we see Peter compromising the truth of the gospel out of the fear of others. He's putting on an ‘act’ to avoid conflict, but Paul confronts him because he is off-track. Peter's moment of weakness shows us how easily we can be led astray, and bring others down with us, but Paul shows us how to stand. In this message we consider together how to stand like Paul for the truth of the gospel - even when we feel like Peter.
Galatians series message 6
Text: Galatians 2:10
In his epistle focused on the truth and content of the gospel, there is a gem of a statement nestled between Paul's personal history and gospel doctrine. We do well to pay attention to this word regarding the poor!
Galatians series message 5
Text: Galatians 2:1-9
After fourteen years, Paul takes Barnabas and Titus, his test case, up to Jerusalem. He's given the right hand of fellowship and recognized as the one to take the gospel to the Gentiles. These details of Paul's testimony are absolutely crucial for the vitality and flourishing of the Church as the Gospel spreads and takes root.
Galatians series message 4
Text: Galatians 1:11-24
The gospel is rightly called the gospel of Jesus Christ because it never had its origins in the mind of man, but is from God. The Apostle Paul was not only a mouthpiece of the gospel but a living testimony of its breathtaking beauty and power. In this message, we hear some of Paul's unlikely story of switching sides and becoming a disciple of the One he persecuted so vehemently.
