We live in a difficult tension of prizing individualism while often recognizing our need for community. We often approach faith as personal and individual. But how does faith shape the way we relate to others in community? The picture that Paul paints for us in our passage this Sunday is both messy and powerfully transformative. For those wanting to experience more of Jesus’ restorative power in and through you, you won’t want to miss this Sunday.

We’re surrounded by products and apps promising to unlock our potential and lead us into the personal growth we often desire.

Can you imagine walking in freedom from what all that holds you back from flourishing in who God created you to be? Join us Sunday to learn more.

Celebrating July 4th and the freedom we have in our country puts us in the frame of mind to reflect on the freedom that Jesus provides on a deeper and grander scale. But just as freedom for our nation does not mean that there are no boundaries or that lawlessness should reign, our passage this Sunday will guide us through the continued dynamics of living in the freedom of Jesus while resisting the pull toward false forms of freedom that actually lead to personal slavery.Making sense of faith goes beyond cognitively comprehending the right facts, it means closing the gap between what we believe and how we live it out.

This week, Kevin Mondau will walk us through Galatians 5, where a heated debate unfolds over a hot-button issue in the early church. The confusion for new Christians in Galatia continues as the pressure mounts to take on Jewish rituals and customs. What does it look like for them to express their newfound faith in Jesus? The battle for their religious freedom is coming to a head. Of course, it’s not just the Galatians—this passage will help us identify what really matters to God when it comes to expressing our own faith.

This week we are excited to have Jon Graciano with us who will be continuing our series, Making Sense of Faith. We all experience ups and downs in life, but do we need to put up with setbacks in our faith? Paul is very concerned for theGalatians. It was a lot of work to get them set free, and now they seem to be tempted by new and different forms of bondage. As we look to make sense of the way faith in Jesus impacts our daily life, Paul’s words for the Galatians painta picture of what it would look like if we never went backwards in our faith.

In many ways, Paul’s letter to the Galatians has been full of heady theological arguments to this point. This week, Paul begins laying out how these theological attributes of God apply to our lives in more personal and relational ways. Not to be misunderstood as a distant or absent deity, this week we’ll see how God’s sovereignty brings comfort and confidence in seasons of waiting, how His redemption bringsfreedom, and how His adoption brings intimacy in relationship.

As we continue our series, Making Sense of Faith, we come to the question of, “What is the purpose of the law?” What was the purpose of the law for the people Paul is writing to, and what is the purpose of the law for us today? For those who lean toward legalism and for those who love to live free from the law, this section of Paul’s letter both grounds us and sets us free.

As we continue our series, “Making Sense of Faith,” we find the apostle Paul making a brash argument against the “curse of the law.” While putting our faith in Jesus is the right and obvious answer for our salvation, we have to wonder - why is Paul having to argue and defend the Gospel in the first place? What implications does Paul’s argument to the church of Galatia have for us today? What role does the Law play now that Christ has died and risen? Join us as we unpack Galatians 3:1-14.

Sometimes the Gospel can feel abstract—something we affirm on Sunday but struggle to apply on Monday. But in Galatians 2:11–21, we see a surprising moment: a tense confrontation between Paul and Peter over a dinner table seating chart. At first, it looks like a personal conflict followed by some heavy theology, but Paul shows us these are deeply connected. Our understanding of the Gospel shapes how we treat others. As we continue our Making Sense of Faith series,this passage reminds us that faith isn’t just about eternity—it speaks into our everyday fears, insecurities, and relationships.

It’s often heartbreaking to see division among churches, ministries, and leaders. In our passage this week, Paul shows us what it looks like to pursue gospel unity.

If you’re exploring Jesus, this message will give you an important look at the essentials that unite followers of Jesus. If you are a follower of Jesus, this message will challenge you in how to pursue gospel unity with other followers of Jesus.
