At the conclusion of Galatians 6, Paul gives us instructions for how to build a culture that fulfills the law of Christ by restoring community, bearing one another's burdens, and pressing on in good.

Do you feel enslaved to the things you wish you didn't do? Do your deepest desires for good conflict with your strongest desires for self-satisfaction? Do you feel like you're on your way to rock bottom, and don't know how to change your direction?

In Galatians 5, Paul answers some of the most challenging questions that face us today. How do you live a life of freedom? How do you pursue love in hard things? Paul commands us to crucify our fleshly life that leads to destruction and to walk in the Spirit that leads to life. Listen in, as Pastor Russell shows what the fruit of the Spirit is and how to walk in the Spirit by simply being with God.

Do you consider yourself a person of faith? Do you see faith working in your life? Is faith alone enough?

Do you feel tired of the pull from your old way of living? Do you find yourself running back to sin and the slavery you lived in instead of living in the freedom of a new life in Christ?

Why do some teams thrive, and other teams don't? How do you create a healthy team culture? What are the attributes of a quality leader?

Listen to this special Team Night message to explore the biblical principles that apply to your work, home, and ministry that lead toward thriving adaptable teams, and how to avoid habits and culture that lead down the wrong path.

What would change in your life if you were fully secure in Christ? Too often, we try to gain our identity in the wrong things: our success, our possessions, or what others think of us.

As Paul continues to center the Galatians around the Gospel, he draws a stark contrast between being declared righteous because of Jesus and trying to become righteous by following the law. It’s the doctrine of justification vs the danger of self-righteousness. And if we’re not careful, we can confuse the two in our own lives as well.

We all have things in our past that we regret, that hurt others, and that ruined relationships. But what if God used all the brokenness of our past to write a story filled with grace and redemption? This is the story of the Apostle Paul. Paul was known for his hate and persecution of Christians, but then he encountered Jesus and was radically transformed. The hurt and pain he caused were flipped and used for God’s glory.

The same can be true in you if you allow the Gospel to penetrate your heart and mind. But be on guard, the Gospel is trying to be hijacked by dogmatism, preferences, and differences. We must never move past the finished work of Jesus on the cross. Listen in to learn how to guard our church against division, unify over the essentials, and be strengthened through our differences.

Do you find yourself confused by reading the words of Jesus and his amazing grace and love, and then look at church and see something that doesn’t speak to the nature of the Gospel? Does the church sometimes look more like the world than Jesus?

The church in Galatia was divided over church traditions, interpretations, and tribalism. If we’re not careful we can find ourselves prey to the same distractions and adding to the Gospel. Listen in as Jason walks us through Galatians 1 to see the truth of the word: Jesus + nothing = everything.

What kind of expectations do you have for the new year? Does it spark excitement or anxiety? Do you linger on the worries of your future and that of our world? 2023 could be anything.

Regardless of the chaos, conflict, and confusion around you can choose to dwell daily in the peace of Jesus. Join us as we look at Luke 2 at the expectations of the world Jesus entered into, and how to find peace in the presence of Jesus and bring it into the lives of those around you.
