False religion fights to make it to the shore of meaning and purpose but never gets there! The Gospel, on the other hand, brings us to a place of joy and freedom unspeakable. In Galatians 3:15-4:7, the apostle Paul drives home the point that we are no longer slaves but sons and heirs of God. Let's tune in to see what God has for us today. (Preached Sunday, October 6th, 2024, at Woodside Bible Church, Pontiac Campus.)

God has incredibly blessed His people. Beginning with the Gospel, Paul reminds us that God's blessings come by faith alone in Christ alone. In Galatians 3:1-14, Paul uses a form of writing where he asks a series of questions where the answers are obvious! Let's lean in to see what God has for us! (Preached Sunday, September 29th, 2024, at Woodside Bible Church, Pontiac Campus).

There's nothing like it when God opens our eyes to the beauty of Jesus. You never want to go back to the old life. In the second installment of our series in the book of Galatians, we are taken into the testimony of the apostle Paul. Let's lean into Galatians 1:11-24 to hear his story so we, too, can learn what God would have us know, say, and do. (Preached Sunday, September 15th, 2024 at Woodside Bible Church, Pontiac Campus).

We all can think of something that is "unique" to us. It's something that is one of a kind. It's something that is unlike anything else. When it comes to the Gospel, nothing can compete with it. It stands alone! In the opening 10 verses of Galatians, Paul sets the stage for the uniqueness of the Gospel. Let's turn our attention to this beautiful letter as we seek to learn what God has for us. (Preached Sunday, September 8th, 2024 at Woodside Bible Church Pontiac Campus).

We live in a world that's never satisfied. The lure of money, possessions and things is misleading so many astray. The idea of contentment seems to have fallen on hard times. It's not attractive, yet it's God's call to His People. He's the source of fulfillment. Not money. Let's turn our attention to Hebrews 13:5-6 as we seek to hear what God has to say. (Preached Sunday, September 1st, 2024, at Woodside Bible Church Pontiac Campus.)

There's great tension today. The tension between worldly wisdom vs Godly wisdom. One is appealing to the masses while the other isn't. Yet, as followers of Christ, we are called to reflect heaven on earth. In other words, we are called to apply what God says in everyday life. Pastor Loritts speaks directly to this issue in James 3:13-18. Let's lean in together. (Preached Sunday August 25th at Woodside Bible Church, Pontiac Campus).

We live in a very ambitious world. A world where people are driven by many things. Yet, ambition that doesn't have Jesus at the center will leave us with a very frustrated life. So what's the remedy? How do we have the right ambition for the glory of God? Let's turn our attention to Colossians 3:1-17 as Pastor Loritts will walk us through this passage to encourage us to be all that God's called us to be. (Preached August 4, 2024 at Woodside Bible Church, Pontiac Campus)

We all have been hit with the storms of life. It's something we cannot get out of. How do we navigate the anxiety that comes with the problems we face? What's the antidote? Under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, the apostle Paul gives us the solution to worry and anxiety in Phil 4:6-9. Let's turn our attention to this powerful portion of God's Word.(Preached Sunday July 28th, 2024 at Woodside Bible Church, Pontiac Campus).

We desperately need to be changed from the inside out! We are not the source of change, God is! From this posture, we are now in a position to experience a life of worship. In Romans 12:1-2, Paul expounds on what this looks like. We will seek to answer the question, how is a life of worship expressed? Let's tune in to what God has to say! (Preached Sunday July 21st, 2024 at Woodside Bible Church, Pontiac Campus)

God uses ordinary people to advance His purposes! What are some ingredients we can take with us to advance where God has us? Let's turn our attention to 3 John as we seek to learn what God has for us. Preached July 14, 2024 at Woodside Bible Church, Pontiac Campus.
