The cross was offensive in the world of the Galatians. It was a shameful tool of execution, so some people tried to replace the cross with an emphasis on following Jewish traditions. In this final week of our Galatians series, Pastor Connor discusses Paul’s response to those people. Without the cross, there is no Christianity. Christ’s work on the cross provides a way of salvation and transforms us into new creatures. Because of this, we should not be ashamed to tell about the cross and its power to change lives.

Ever wondered if your faith journey really matters? Pastor Connor Kraus offers an encouraging dive into how God sees and celebrates your everyday choices. Discover how living with purpose isn't about perfection but about walking closely with God and experiencing His incredible love and guidance.

Last week we talked about living by the Spirit. But what does that look like? Pastor Jim walks us through four signs of a spiritual person from Galatians 6. If we are living by the Spirit, we will gently restore sinners, relieve the burdened, review our own lives, and remember those who devote themselves to teaching us.

Christ sets us free when we’re born into His family through faith. But that’s just the beginning! In this week’s message, Pastor Jim talks about how we can live free by walking in step with the Holy Spirit. When we walk by the Spirit, we avoid the trench of legalism on one side and the sewer of libertinism on the other. We are also free to grow the fruit of the Spirit instead of being enslaved by the deeds of the flesh.

Who makes us free, and why? Pastor Jeremy tackles those questions this week. We may be tempted to think we can set ourselves free from sin by doing everything just right, or that  freedom means we can do anything we want, but both of these ideas are wrong. Instead, Christ is the one who sets us free, and He does it so that we can be free to love God and others.

This week, we look at the conclusion of Paul’s argument to the Galatians about what it means to be God’s children. Pastor Connor guides us through a tale of two sons: one enslaved and one free.  When we belong to God’s family, we are children of promise, free and righteous because of God’s grace through Christ. He delivers us from the hopeless slavery of trying to justify ourselves through works of the Law.
