What is the relationship between faith and science? Faith and science are not opposing disciplines. Throughout history, Christians have often been the greatest proponents of scientific discovery, using their intellect to worship God. We should love God with all our minds, allowing faith and science to be in mutually beneficial conversation together.

How can we trust the Bible? We can trust that the Bible is God’s Word because of its enduring message. The Bible remains the primary way God teaches, encourages, and guides humanity. As believers, we can be confident that the message of Scripture is reliable and relevant to our lives—and live in that confidence.

If Christians really love Jesus, why is there so much hurt in the church? Jesus confronted the hypocrisy of religious people and desires that his disciples walk in love. Only when we stop pretending the church is perfect can we invite Jesus to conform us more and more to his image.

The temptation in our society is to find our worth in our actions: whether they are moral (in the church) or successful (in the world). But Christians know they are loved and approved because of Jesus. What would it look like this week not to participate in the struggle for approval and success?

God has brought us into his household. You are a son or daughter of God, and everything is okay between you two! Are you living your daily life like that is true?

The law points us to Christ. Where have you fallen short of the standards God sets for you and that you set for yourself? Lean into his promise of grace this week.

We are justified by faith in Christ and nothing else. Are the challenges and decisions in your daily life clarified and guided by the faith you have in Christ, or do you pray occasionally but most of the time go it alone?

Paul’s letter to the Galatian church is perhaps one of the most important letters for the church. This five-week series will look at its importance and theological relevance for our faith and life today. Specifically, we will look at the sweeping vision of grace that Paul lays out in this letter.  

Galatians 1:1–10 - The Gospel and Leadership 

The message of the gospel is of the utmost importance. Paul’s passion reveals that the gospel is what he cares about most. If someone were to gauge what you care about most based on how much passion you have for it, what would they come up with?

The resurrection of Jesus shows us that there is re-creation to come. The signs in John show us that God is active in the world; now God calls us to be his sign to those around us.

The crucifixion shows us God’s judgment of the world. On the cross, Jesus has drawn everyone to God, no matter who they are or what they have done—and that includes you.
