What does it truly mean to live by the Spirit? In the letter of Galatians we explore the fruit of the Spirit and the transformative grace of Jesus Christ. From love, joy, and peace to patience, kindness, and self-control, we are called to reflect Christ’s character in our daily lives.

Paul reminds us that true faith isn’t about legalism or self-effort—it’s about resting in God’s grace. We don’t do good works to be free; we do them because we are free in Christ! When we bear each other’s burdens, serve one another, and walk in the Spirit, we fulfill the law of Christ.

Don’t live in guilt—live in grace. Don’t struggle to earn God’s favor—Jesus already earned it for you. Go in grace, live in freedom, and celebrate His love!

Key Verses: Galatians 5:22-23, Galatians 6:2, Galatians 6:18

Have you ever struggled to truly walk in the freedom that Christ has given you? In this powerful message, we dive into the incredible truth of redemption, adoption, and grace found in Ephesians 1. You are not bound by the chains of obligation—you are a beloved son or daughter of God!

Join us as we reflect on the spiritual blessings we have in Christ and how to live as children of God, not in fear, but in freedom.

The Gospel of Freedom | Galatians 3

The heart of the gospel is the incredible truth that we are saved, justified, and made new in Christ Jesus. No sin is too great, no past too broken—God’s mercy covers it ALL.

So why does this matter for our daily lives? Because freedom in Christ brings joy! True freedom means living with purpose, honoring the God who saves, and using our lives to glorify Him and serve others. Don’t waste that freedom—live it out in worship and love!

Are you still trying to earn your freedom, working hard to complete what Jesus has already finished? In this message from the book of Galatians, we uncover the truth of the gospel—Jesus paid it all. Our chains are gone, not by our effort, but by faith in Him alone.

Join us as we explore the life-changing reality that we are free and forgiven, not just for a moment, but forever. Let’s learn together what true faith looks like and how to walk in the freedom Christ has given us.

Read Galatians and dive deeper into God’s amazing grace.

In this message we explore the immeasurable love of Christ and the awe-inspiring glory of God. Through scripture from Ephesians 3:18-19, Exodus 33, and Acts 2, we discuss the vastness of God's love—wider, longer, higher, and deeper than we can ever comprehend.

-Are you truly in awe of God?

-Do you take time to marvel at His goodness and grace?

-How can we experience His glory more fully in our daily lives and in our church community?

From the story of Moses asking to see God's glory to the early church being filled with wonder, this message reminds us that the greatest miracle isn't just in signs and wonders—it’s in knowing and experiencing the love of Christ.

Let this sermon reignite your sense of awe and challenge you to live daily in the wonder of God’s majesty.

Fear is something we all face, whether it’s about our finances, health, family, or simply the unknown. In this message, we dive into the nature of fear and explore God’s most frequent command in the Bible: “Do not be afraid.”

Through passages like Isaiah 41:10 and John 14:27, we discover that the reason we don’t need to fear isn’t that life isn’t hard or scary, but because God is with us. He offers His strength, His presence, and His peace to overcome our anxieties.

Join us as we reflect on the truth that fear is not just a struggle—it can also reveal a lack of trust in God’s presence and power. But the good news is that God has given us His Son, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit to conquer fear and live confidently in His love.

Key Scriptures:

Isaiah 41:8-10

John 14:26-27
