Paul has made his case, clearly, against dividing the church in Galatia along ethnic lines. And he’s argued persuasively that the gospel demands such unity. But what does that unity look like in practice? And what practices actually lead to disunity? Join us for “Practices of (Dis)Unity” from Galatians 5:13-26!

Pastor Joey gives us a pre-cut for time and shares some personal reflection from his own sermon application.

He’s not pulling his punches any longer. As Paul begins to wrap up his letter, challenging the Galatian believers to cut off the rival teachers and adopt the Spirit-filled lifestyle that leads to unity, he doesn’t hold back from condemning those who truncate the gospel. Though we aren’t facing the same situation as these first-century believers, are there ways we short the gospel as well? Join us for “Cutting In” from Galatians 5:7-12!

Pastor Jeff encourages us to live in the freedom of Christ, looks ahead to the rest of the book, and challenges us to apply the text to our lives.

The Apostle Paul tells us that it will never be through our obedience that we can know we are God’s children. The hope of righteousness is for those who through the Spirit wait for it with a faith working through love. Join us as we look at “Only Faith” from Galatians 5:1-6.

Pastor Jeff explains why he was pressed for time and what he wished he could have spent more time on or clarified in his sermon in the Galatians 4:21-5:1 section.

Some in Galatia are spreading the message that keeping the old covenant laws is what “really” makes you a child of God. The Apostle Paul wants Christians to see where that leads, and he points them to what God really wants for them. Join us for “You Deserve Better” from Galatians 4:21 – 5:1!

Pastor Joey shares on the purpose of the sermon on Sunday and how the passage from Sunday prompts us to praise Jesus.

As the Apostle Paul approaches the climax of his letter to the churches in Galatia, he appeals to them to remember their friendship with him. Should they consider him an enemy because he is being a good friend? And what does this personal aside have to do with Paul’s overall argument in this letter? Join us for “With Friends Like These…” from Galatians 4:12-20!

Pastor Jeff shares what he wished he could have included in Sunday's sermon and gives us a tool for the new year.
