In this sermon, Pastor Isaiah shares about the impact and challenge of taking students to Youth and Kids Camp this summer while also setting up the context for our 2023 Faith Family Fun Nights as we look at the Armor of God and the importance of the spiritual life.

The impulse of humanity is to try and earn good things for ourselves. When it comes to religion, many people spend their lives doing things to try and earn or maintain God's love, but the Christian message sets people free as we receive a new life of faith when we come to Christ.

Guilt is a common motivator in our lives, but there is a much greater power available for Christians each day. Pastor Isaiah helps us see the glorious gift of the Gospel and what the imputation of Christ's complete righteousness and God declaring us fully justified really means for our lives today.

The Gospel is not merely something to be believed, but is something that guides the actions of our lives too. Pastor Isaiah looks at the conflict in Galatia when Peter's actions proved hypocritical in living contrary to the faith he was professing.

In Galatians 2:1-10, as the Apostle Paul reflects on the first fourteen years of his ministry following his conversion, he illustrates what a profound gift God has given to His church. Pastor Isaiah shows us this great gift of God's work of preserving the Gospel and bringing His people unity around this enduring message!

The Christian claim about salvation is one of exclusivity, namely that there is only one way to peace with God. This also means that the Christian life is one of total commitment to God or it is remaining in a life that is opposed to God. Pastor Isaiah explains from the end of Galatians 1 how Paul shares his testimony about his transformation by the power of the Gospel to make him no longer a slave to sin, but a servant of Christ!

The Apostle Paul moves immediately into his reason for writing to the churches in Galatia in verses 6-9 of his letter. Pastor Isaiah explains the passion and importance of this message not just for the original audience but for us today as well when we understand that there is Only One Gospel That Saves.

The Apostle Paul wrote an important letter to the Christians in Galatia to proclaim again to them the most important message for all mankind in every moment to know. Pastor Isaiah walks us through the first 5 verses and challenges us to see the importance of the Gospel not just as a historical fact, but a powerful life-changing message for us today as well.

"What's Next?" That's a question that most of us think, perhaps more often than we want to admit. Right after the resurrection of Christ, the first disciples had that same thought and the response of Jesus is instructive to us today too. Pastor Isaiah challenges us to not miss the moment and to ask God, "What Now?"

As we conclude our series on the Lion and the Lamb, Pastor Isaiah proclaims the victory of the Risen Savior seen from Revelation 5. With a packed church and a lot of excited kids, we had a time of great joy in the House of the Lord this Resurrection Sunday!
