On today's Treasured Truth, Pastor Ford will help us understand that when we are not keeping the Lord’s commandments, we are not loving Him.  He’ll also address this question—what does it mean for us to be committed to Jesus Christ? It means we love what Jesus loves and we hate what Jesus hates.  And that’s how we know we’re committed to Christ.

Have you ever received a pardon, but refused it?  On today's Treasured Truth, we’ll hear about a man named George Wilson, who did just that.  And Pastor Ford will explain that there are too many people who are like George.  God gives them the pardon they need, but they reject His offer of salvation through grace. Join us as we begin a new message from Pastor Ford called “Gave Me Liberty” on today's Treasured Truth.

As our study in Galatians chapter 4 continues on today's Treasured Truth, we’ll see that just like Abraham and Sarah received a promise from God, as believers we all have received a promise too. It’s the promise that we will be delivered from the penalty of our sins through grace. The new covenant frees us from the law, and we now have the hope of salvation, but it’s only found through the gift of grace. To find out more about God’s gift of grace, join us for the next Treasured Truth.

On today's Treasured Truth, we’ll be looking at what Jesus did for the paralyzed man in Mark chapter 2. And Pastor Ford will ask us to consider what did the man think that he needed most? Healing in his body. What did Jesus know he needed most? Forgiveness in his soul. Based on this, Pastor Ford will remind us just how important our spiritual healing is to our Savior.

Salvation is by grace. So, in the process of salvation, we don’t help God out.  And on today's Treasured Truth, as we look at the passage we’re studying, Pastor Ford will explain that Paul is saying the promise God made to Abraham and Sarah is very much like our salvation. God does not need our help to perform any act or to bring anything to pass, no matter what it is. He does not need our help to save us. Learn more when you join us for today's Treasured Truth.

On today's Treasured Truth, as we continue to look at the story that the Apostle Paul allegorizes in Galatians chapter 4, we’ll see that he wants to help the Galatians understand that they are trying in vain to get salvation from the law, when the law was never designed to give us our salvation. We simply cannot get salvation by the things that we do.  And that’s Paul’s entire argument—salvation is by grace alone.

As we continue to look at this story from the Old Testament and how the Apostle Paul is infusing it with a new meaning, Pastor Ford will remind us that Biblical interpretation follows a simple formula—when the literal sense makes plain sense, seek no other sense, lest you abandon common sense and end up with nonsense.

The Law and Grace don’t mix. But the Apostle Paul was having a hard time communicating that fact to the Galatian believers and convincing them it was the truth. So, he took a story from the Old Testament and allegorized it, giving it a new twist that helped them to understand. To hear Pastor Ford explain how Paul used an old story with a new meaning in his letter to the Galatians, join us for today's Treasured Truth.

On today's Treasured Truth, Pastor Ford will explain that challenges are an important part of our journey as followers of Christ.  What we’ve overcome determines how far we’ve come from the place where God started to change our lives.  And if we find that we’re not anywhere new, it’s probably because we have not yet overcome the challenges that God wants to use to grow us into the new creation He is making in us.
