Jacob's Well Church

Pastor Paul's Message

Worship Pastor Joshua Skoyen and Share Partner Sean Kaiser talk more about Sean's background, and about the message he gave on July 19th called "Being in the Family of God".

Just as the Galatian believers were polarized and divided, so are Christians in our country today. How did the apostle Paul address their barriers, and what can we take from that example in present times? See what it means to be the family of God and discover the profound hope and radical unity the apostle Paul preaches to the Galatian church, as we continue our Freedom in Christ series.

Why is it such a struggle to live with freedom in Christ? In this episode we interview Jordan Hurlburt. He has some great insights as a "first-born rule-follower" who feels the need to prove himself.

Have you ever felt like you're not good enough? That you have to do more, know more and be more in order to be loved and accepted?

As Paul writes to the Galatians he reminds them, and us, that we are not justified (made right) with God by what we do. It's not about following all of the laws to perfection. True freedom and right standing with God comes only through faith in the saving power of Jesus' life, death and resurrection.

Are you living as someone who is enslaved to following a set of rules and adding to the true Gospel, or as someone who is living in the freedom found in faith in the sufficiency of Jesus' sacrifice for you?

Pastor Paul and Share Partner Jenna Kaiser discuss interpreting the Book of Galatians.

Paul needed to introduce himself to many of the Galatians and to establish his credibility as the Apostle to the Gentiles. He shares the story of his journey from Saul to Paul as the radical message of Gospel inclusion changed him.

This week we feature an interview with Jenna Kaiser about her shifting ministry role and her great work on the new Galatians series.

The churches in Galatia were following the false gospel and this letter from Paul comes to mobilize them to choose the true gospel and true freedom in Christ. We are to ask ourselves the same question -- are we following the true gospel? Or have we added to the gospel, enslaving ourselves and excluding others?

Pastor Paul and Shua sit down for an insightful interview with Dr. Tim Kimmel with Family Matters Ministry. Tim is the author of Grace-Based Parenting, Grace-Filled Marriage, and a host of other excellent content centered on the Family. In this conversation we focus on the role of fathers, and how to lead your children well during such a complex season.
