Praise in the Desert Place

November 17, 2024 • RD McClenagan • Psalm 63:2–11

This Sunday, RD continues in Psalm 63, where David, in the wilderness, thirsts for God's presence, meditating on His power, glory, and steadfast love, emphasizing that only God can satisfy his deepest needs. Beholding God's glory is not a glance but an intentional gaze that transforms us into His likeness, leading to praise and adoration. Christ, the ultimate King, bore our sins and provides living water, urging us to look to Him and let that perspective define our lives. As an act of aligning our hearts with God's steadfast love and transformative power, we need to have heartfelt praise, even from places of brokenness.

Earnestly I Seek You

November 10, 2024 • RD McClenagan • Psalm 63:1–4

This Sunday, RD begins a two week series on Psalm 63. He looks at the stories of Martha and Mary and King David, highlighting the importance of choosing what truly matters: sitting at His feet and seeking Him wholeheartedly. As believers, we need to rekindle our desire for God, seeking intimacy and deeper connection rather than getting lost in busyness and distractions. We should have a "first love" posture, a passionate pursuit of God that transforms our personal lives and interactions with others. Through heartfelt prayer and worship, the invitation is to experience the fullness of God’s presence, allowing His love to fuel a genuine, burning desire to know Him more.

I Will Boast in Christ

November 3, 2024 • Greg Pinkner • Galatians 6:11–18

This Sunday, Greg teaches from Galatians 6:11-18, finishing our series on Galatians. In these verses, Paul concludes his letter by affirming that salvation comes solely through faith in Christ, without the need for additional religious rituals. Adding requirements to the gospel nullifies its power and dishonors Christ's sacrifice. True Christianity isn’t about outward appearances but about becoming a new creation in Christ. Paul reminds believers that their lives should focus on glorifying God, not seeking approval from the world or boasting in personal accomplishments.

Sowing and Reaping

October 27, 2024 • RD McClenagan • Galatians 6:7–10

This Sunday, RD teaches from Galatians 6:7-10 and the biblical principle of sowing and reaping, urging self-reflection on the kind of "fruit" one's life produces. We are called to assess our lives honestly, asking what outcomes are emerging from our actions and habits. We will each reap what we sow, whether positive or negative, based on whether we are investing in spiritual or fleshly pursuits. Faithfulness may not always yield immediate results, but persistent, godly living promises that spiritual investments will yield an eternal, righteous harvest, even if unseen in the present.

Bearing Burdens

October 20, 2024 • Devon Accardi • Galatians 6:1–5

This Sunday, Devon teaches from Galatians 6:1-5, looking at the importance of restoring others gently when they falter. He underscores that walking in step with the Holy Spirit is vital for every believer; spiritual restoration is delicate and requires careful handling by someone deeply connected to the Spirit. We are to bear each other's burdens, and walking with someone in need requires prayer, patience, and commitment.

Walk By the Spirit

October 13, 2024 • Greg Pinkner • Galatians 5:16–26

This Sunday, Greg teaches from Galatians 5:16-26. These verses discuss walking by the Spirit versus living by the flesh and confront legalism—the idea that following the law saves, rather than grace through faith. While salvation is instantaneous through faith, the Christian life is a long and challenging walk of sanctification, where the Spirit helps us resist the desires of the flesh. Walking by the Spirit involves repentance, pursuing obedience, and relying on Scripture and prayer, rather than simply focusing on personal spiritual experiences. We are to lead a life led by the Spirit, where true obedience and victory over sin come from dependence on God's grace and power rather than legalistic efforts.

Free at Last

October 6, 2024 • RD McClenagan • Galatians 5:13–15

This Sunday, RD teaches from Galatians 5:13-15. In these verses Paul calls us as believers to live in the freedom Christ has given us. True freedom is not about doing whatever one wants, but about being freed from sin, death, and the law's condemnation to serve others in love. Living in this freedom involves dying to self and walking in the power of the Holy Spirit. Jesus' grace frees us not only from the penalty of sin but also from its power and pressure, leading us to a life of love and service. We need to embrace our identity as sons and daughters of God, living out this freedom by following God's design and growing more into Christ's image.

Faith Working Through Love

September 29, 2024 • Greg Pinkner • Galatians 5:1–12

This Sunday, Greg looks at Galatians 5:1-12. In these verses, Paul addresses the issue of Jewish Christian teachers insisting that Gentile believers must follow the law of Moses in addition to faith in Christ for salvation. He argues that salvation comes by grace through faith in Christ alone, not by works of the law, as no one can be made righteous through their efforts. Paul emphasizes that Christ's death frees believers from the curse of the law, offering them a new life in freedom. As believers, we need to stand firm in this freedom and not submit again to the "yoke of slavery," symbolizing a return to the legalistic system of the law.

Heirs to the Kingdom

September 22, 2024 • Greg Pinkner • Galatians 4

This Sunday, Greg looks at Galatians 4:1-31, teaching that salvation cannot come from the law or ancestry but through faith in Jesus Christ, emphasizing that believers are now children and heirs of God's promise. Paul, in Galatians 4, compares the difference between living under the law as a slave and living in the freedom of faith as a child of God. Through Christ, Christians are no longer bound by sin or the elementary principles of the world but are freed to receive their inheritance in God's Kingdom.
