Paul continues to stress to the Galatians that we are free in Christ! But what exactly are we now free to do? Because the Lord has set us free, does that mean we’re free to do live however we want? What about doing things the Bible doesn’t specifically address? Join us for today’s Bible study to learn about the four questions every Christian should ask themselves.

Paul uses familial language all throughout chapter 4, making the case that once you believe in Jesus for salvation, God has adopted you into His family as a son or daughter. So then Paul asks the question, “Since you are now a son, why are you still living as a slave to legalism?” In today’s message, Pastor Austin talks about the five things believers need to know as a child of God.

What’s the point of the Old Testament rules if we’re not saved by works but we’re saved by faith? Do I still need to do good works if we’re saved by God’s grace? Paul answers these important questions in Galatians 3.

It’s no surprise to anyone that we live in a self-obsessed culture. We live in the age of the “selfie” where statistics say the average person spends 54 hours a year taking selfies. That’s 7 minutes every day! Even a new term “Selfitis” has been written about in medical resources and is defined as “an obsessive-compulsive desire to take photos of oneself and post them on social media.” Is it a sin to take a selfie? No. But as we approach these last days, it is crucial to cling to Paul’s anthem in Galatians 2:20 which speaks of a dying to self and living for the Lord. Pastor Austin unpacks what this means in today’s Bible study.

Did you ever run away from home as a kid? Sometimes we spiritually run away from the Lord, and Paul’s main message to the churches in Galatia was “come back home.” He addresses how quickly they have turned away from the truth. Open your Bible to the book of Galatians as Pastor Austin unpacks the first chapter.

Have you ever felt abandoned or forsaken by the Lord? You are going through something painful and difficult, and yet you feel as though God isn’t there? Jesus expressed similar feelings when He quoted Psalm 22:1 “My God, My God, why have You forsaken me?” during His crucifixion. How should we as believers respond to these feelings of loneliness and abandonment? Dive in to our study today to learn more.

When we think of the act of “worship,” we often think it simply means to go to church and sing worship songs. That’s certainly a part of it, but worship is so much more. In Psalm 95, the writer describes three life-changing aspects of what our worship should involve. Open your Bible to Psalm 95 and dive in to today’s message!

We often ask the Lord “Show me Your will!” What I love about Psalm 25 is that David asks the Lord “Show me Your ways.” Sometimes we have a good sense of what God’s will is for our lives, but we go about accomplishing His will in all the wrong ways. In today’s message, Pastor Austin unpacks the four characteristics of the person to whom God will reveal His ways.
