People in the world today glory in their works.  They celebrate what they’ve done and accomplished.  They brag and boast about their abilities.  But every one of these worldly things will fail and fade away.  Today, Pastor John will challenge you instead to glory only in the cross of Christ.  Celebrate the work of Christ and what He accomplished on the cross.  Brag and boast about what He’s doing in your life.  It’s the only thing that will never fail and never fade.  All that truly matters in your life is whether you believe in Christ!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Galatians chapter 6 as he continues his message Glorying in the Cross.

True salvation isn’t by works or human effort but by God’s grace alone through faith in Christ’s sacrifice on the cross.  But, once you believe in Christ, you can’t just drift along in life as you did before you believed.  Pastor John will explain today that true, saving faith will change you.  It will cause you to desire different things.  You will want to become like Christ and you will begin to hate sin.  God’s grace doesn’t just save your soul.  It changes you, bit by bit, into the likeness of Christ.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Galatians chapter 6 as he begins his message Glorying in the Cross.

Satan is thrilled when you, as a believer, grow too tired and weary as you serve God and begin to doubt your call by blinding you to His work in it.  Today, Pastor John will encourage you to continue to do good to others at every opportunity as you are filled, empowered, and strengthened by the Holy Spirit.  The more you are in tune with the Spirit, the more able you are to serve God and others.  You will not grow weary in serving God if you frequently, continually come to Him for strength.

 Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Galatians chapter 6 as he continues his message Walking in the Spirit.

What is your response when you see someone making terrible choices, living in complete rebellion against God?  Do you say nothing to avoid offense or because you hate confrontation?  Well, today, Pastor John will challenge you to seek to restore sinning brothers and sisters to Christ.  Don’t approach with an arrogant attitude, but come to them in love, with kindness and with the power and wisdom of the Holy Spirit.  It’s unloving to let others continue in sin.  Helping them find their way back to God is the loving response.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Galatians chapter 6 as he begins his message Walking in the Spirit.

Some Christians live a life of sin during the week and are completely different come Sunday.  This should not be!  Believers instead are to be overflowing with evidence of the spirit within them.  These, Pastor John explains today, are called the fruit of the spirit.  Your life of faith should produce good fruit if you are a true follower of Christ.  Things like love, patience, kindness, and self-control all show that you are living for God and growing in Christ-likeness!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Galatians chapter 5 as he continues his message The Fruit of the Spirit.

Every believer in Christ should seek to live a holy life, dedicated to God and for His glory.  As Pastor John teaches today, you should seek to follow after God wholeheartedly. However, it’s impossible to live a life surrendered fully to God and love others in this world on your own.  You must rely on the Holy Spirit to help you resist sin and to love and serve others.   He will guide, empower, and strengthen you as you walk in trust and obedience to Him.  Trust the work that the Holy Spirit is doing in your life!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Galatians chapter 5 as he begins his message The Fruit of the Spirit.

As a believer, you’ve been given grace and forgiveness from your merciful heavenly Father as a gift.  But, this grace He offers you isn’t an excuse for sinful living.  Instead, as Pastor John teaches today, you shouldn’t continue to choose to sin, but rather seek to live a holy life, set apart for His purposes.  However, no matter how sincere or determined you are, you’ll never stop sinning or be able to serve Him in your own strength.  Instead, you must walk in the Spirit to have victory over sin!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Galatians chapter 5 as he continues his message Spirit-Filled Freedom.

The Christian life is a life of liberty.  Jesus came to set you free from your bondage to sin.  You’re free from condemnation and judgement, as well as from shame and guilt.  But today, Pastor John points out what you’re free FOR.  You are free now to live your life for the sake of Christ.  You’re free to love others. You’re free to have hope and joy to offer it to others who are bound up in fear.  You’re free to follow God’s will, knowing He is good and His plan is perfect.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Galatians chapter 5 as he begins his message Spirit-Filled Freedom.

In our world today, there’s a definite lack of hope.  In its place are fear, division, hatred, and anxiety.  People are desperate for hope and purpose.  Today, Pastor John explains the beautiful hope a life of faith in Christ offers.  Believers have the hope of eternal life with God in Heaven.   It removes the fear of death to know you’re going to God!  You get this hope only through faith in Him.  And it’s the greatest, surest hope!  Do you have the sure and certain hope and abundant, eternal life through faith?

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Galatians chapter 5 as he continues his message Don’t Fall From Grace.

Before you were a believer in Christ, you were a slave to sin.  It held you, and it mastered you.  But, as a believer, Christ has freed you from that bondage.  He set you free so that you’d live in His freedom.  Today, Pastor John will encourage you to stand firm in this freedom that Christ has given you.  Don’t fall back into legalism to the law or back into sin.  Neither of these brings life.  Stand firm and resolute in Christ.  No method of human skill or ability that can redeem you from sin! It is only through faith in Him.
