What does it mean to be free? This week, Paul shares how both bounded and fuzzy churches lead us to be stuck rather than free. Jesus, on the other hand, frees us and redefines freedom, which can be practiced through His Spirit in hope and serving one another. This is the third sermon in the second part of our series on Paul’s letter to the Galatians and was originally preached October 2, 2022. We apologize for the poor audio quality.

This week, we resumed our study in Paul’s letter to the Galatians. As we transition from big ideas (grace, Jesus-centered, community hermeneutic) to practical ethics, we learn the Spirit of God draws us into the family of God through adoption, as children and as heirs. Preached Sept 25, 2022.

What kind of community did Jesus build? What kind of community are we building in this church? This week we are reminded of one of the big ideas from the first half of the Galatians series: a Jesus-Centered community. Building on the work of Paul Hiebert, we look at Jesus’ choosing of the disciples as an example of building community that isn’t bounded or fuzzy, but centered on Him. Originally preached September 18, 2022.

Originally preached September 4, 2022.

In this teaching, Gordie Lagore, pastor of Vancouver Eastside Vineyard Church, shares about the practice of spiritual direction.
