Guard the good deposit that God has entrusted in you.

Pastor Nathan delivers the final chapter of Galatians with a few highlights of encouragement along with a warning. It is the Holy Spirit that does the finishing work on us, there is nothing else as it is a free gift. The Holy Spirit will teach us the way in which He wants us to walk and how He is going to change us. It is not by works of anyone but the Holy Spirit. Being a Christian is hard, take courage and do not give up. We bear the scars of life and hurts from others for Christ's glory.

Pastor Nathan Detweiler continues in our sermon series talking about walking in step with the Spirit by the Spirit.

Michael Yuhasz, our special guest speaker, delivered a heartfelt message titled "Jesus Christ Is My Hero." In his message, he highlighted the courageous compassion, faithfulness, trust, and humility of Jesus.

Galatians 5, walking in step with the Spirit. When four children had entered Narnia and spent time with Aslan something about them changed--they went from children to the refinement of Kings and Queens. That is what it is like walking in step with the Spirit. Letting the Spirit refine us and remove all that entangles us.

Keep running the race and let no one hinder you by laws that are contrary to how the Spirit leads. The law of the Jews is not to be a yoke of slavery, it had it's place, but Christ came to free us from the need for the old law. Jesus' yoke is light. Walk by the Spirit.

We are not of the slave woman, but rather children of the promise.

Pastor Nathan leads us in a tremendous sermon finishing up chapter 3 of Galatians and walking us through the beginning of chapter 4.

Pastor Nathan leads us in a reflective reading of Ephesians 1:15-23.

Pastor Nathan continues our series by looking at who God is. He dives in to the judgementalism within Christianity and thus expressing God's compassion on those we as Christians often condemn. He also presses that God love justice, His pure justice that advocates for those who are condemned and have experienced prejudices.
