The Connection Church

This Sunday, we pick up where we left off last week at the beginning of the third chapter of the apostle Paul’s epistle to the Galatians. Thus far, we have been reminded that our salvation is secured through Christ alone, and we have seen the apostle’s passion as he dealt with prejudicial attitudes in the church. Now Paul moves from the initial work of salvation, in which God declares us righteous, to the process of sanctification where God conforms us to Christ-likeness. He preaches that we are justified by faith and by the same faith, we are sanctified.

After we heard the amazing testimonies from our recently-returned Puerto Rico Missions Team, we heard a brief sermon introducing the third chapter of Galatians. Join us next week for a continuation of this important part of Paul’s letter to the churches of Galatia!

We have seen so far in our exploration of Paul’s letter to the Galatians that the apostle is very passionate about the gospel and getting it right. As we continue this Sunday, we will continue to see that he pulls no punches as he deals with prejudicial attitudes and his refusal to give up the absolute supremacy of Christ in our salvation and the faith in which we live.

In the second chapter of Paul’s letter to the churches of Galatia, which we share this Sunday, the apostle continues his defense of the true gospel.

Don’t miss the next several weeks as Pastor TJ, Pastor Justin, and Elder Joe guide us on a journey, calling us back to the simplicity of Christ and His transforming grace. If you missed the first two parts, in which we covered the first chapter of the epistle, you can watch them on our YouTube channel or our website today!

This week we continue our journey through Paul’s letter to the churches of Galatia, in which reminds them (and us) of the total sufficiency of Jesus in securing our salvation, and of the leadership of the Holy Spirit for living it out. This Sunday, we discover why getting a true understanding of the gospel was so important to Paul and why it should be important to us as well.

We are very excited to begin a new sermon series. Throughout the summer, we will dive into the entire letter of Paul to the Galatians.

Salvation by grace: we believe it and preach it, but do we live it? The reality is that too many Christians begin well but quickly gravitate toward jumping through religious hoops in an ever exhausting attempt to ”get it right.” In Galatians, Paul reminds us of the total sufficiency of Jesus in securing our salvation, and of the leadership of the Holy Spirit for living it out.

Join us for the next several weeks as Pastor TJ, Pastor Justin, and Elder Joe guide us on a journey, calling us back to the simplicity of Christ and His transforming grace.

Our special guest speaker, Dr. Rebecca Polis from Revival Fellowship International, shares a life-changing message on obtaining and maintaining victory in life through the power of not only reading but speaking the truths and promises of Scripture.

Even though you may have regrets, that doesn’t mean you should live in the shadow of your past mistakes. With God, you can live free because You Are Better Than Your Worst! That being said, it’s also possible to avoid the pattern of making mistakes over and over again that lead to the regrets that keep you down. It is possible for you to make the right choices in life. This Sunday, we finish up examining the principles that will help you handle the regrets of your past. We will also discover how to avoid making big mistakes that lead to regret in the first place!

Peter made a big mistake in denying the Lord three times. Scripture makes it very clear that Peter was distraught once he realized what he had done. Even though he made this momentous mistake, it did not disqualify him from what Jesus had called him to do. Peter was fully restored and played a vital role in establishing and leading the early church. Your past mistakes don’t disqualify you, either. You can let go of regret, be restored by God, and live on top for God because You Are Better Than Your Worst!

Many people live in the shadow of their past mistakes. At the end of their lives, they are left with unresolved relationship issues, unfulfilled dreams, and long-held resentments. God doesn’t want us to live our lives to the end with regrets. With God, we can live in freedom and come out of the shadow of our past. This Sunday, we continue examining principles that will help us handle the regrets of our past.
