The allure of legalism is a tantalizing temptation that all Christians feel. Paul confronts the Galatians of the early church with the same struggles we have today: justification through faith or actions? Pastor John shows that as technology and culture has changed, the heart of man is still the same, and still just as desperately in need of Christ.

In a world of misguided signs and lies being shouted from every direction, losing our identity is a common ailment to modern Christians. When we are afflicted with identity amnesia, what do we do? When we wake up behind Burger King and we don't know who we are, where do we turn? Pastor John dissects Paul's response to the church in Galatia who had an identity crisis very similar to ours.

Experience identity amnesia and your life will go haywire. But if we can know, and rest in as followers of Jesus where our identity lies - our life changes course direction. This sermon helps answer who we are. Join in the study of Galatians 2:20.

Even the apostles were susceptible to the most common accusation we Christians hear today: hypocrite! What did the apostles of old do to address it? What can we do? Pastor John delves in to the confrontation of Paul and Peter and looks in to how it can transform our lives to look like the Gospel.

Hypocrisy, we in the church are constantly accused of it... and usually with good reason. For all of us are to one degree or another - hypocrites.

So what's the cure?

How are we set free from such bondage?

Tune into Galatians 2:11-14 to discover how.

As Paul addresses the Christians in Galatia, what can we possibly glean from this letter? What do the struggles of ancient Christians have in common with our modern faith? Pastor John dissects Paul's appeal to the young church as it applies to us today.

Right behavior doesn't necessarily mean right belief - it can be legalism. So how do we guard against being legalistic?

Galatians 2:1-10 helps answer that question.

Jesus + Nothing = Everything!

A powerful lesson of what changes when one has an encounter with Jesus - everything!

Be encouraged form the life of Paul - taken from Galatians 1:11-22.

Why Galatians? This study is an explosion of joy and freedom and a break from try-harder/do-more living.

This week we begin a new series and discover what the Gospel of Christ is and why it's so important for our lives today.

(Galatians 1:1-9)
