What are you trusting in for your salvation? Paul was surprised that the believers in Galatia were getting confused in their faith so soon after believing. He reminds them that there is only one gospel that saves, and any other message taught by any other messenger has no power to bring salvation. How do we interact with people who have different beliefs than we have? What is the best way to share our faith with them?

By nature we do not always get life right. Nobody's perfect. But what do you do when you find yourself "stuck" as a result of your own actions, your own ignorance, or as a result of the choices of others? It's in those moments that we understand our need for a Deliverer. Paul writes to the believers in Galatia about Jesus, who gave Himself for us, and who serves to deliver us. Paul reminds us that while our temporal circumstances may draw us down at times, the promise of eternal life can give us hope.

As we begin our study in Galatians, we look at the new beginning we can experience through the pure gospel. In addition to experiencing a new beginning in Christ, we enter into a new calling which God chooses for us and equips us to fulfill. And as believers, we are adopted by a good Father into a new family, the church, to bring Jesus glory as we fulfill our individual, unique calling and submit to His lordship over our life.

On this episode we finish up in Psalm 19 where we see the impact that King David found the Scriptures had in his life. God's Word has value and may involve sacrifice. The Bible can revive us and renew our strength and passion and service unto the Lord. In addition, there is always a reward for faithfully seeking God in His Word.

King David found himself in a position as king in which he often felt he was in over his head. In Psalm 19, he wrote about the resource he found the Scriptures to be that changed everything. In this episode we look at the "cause and effect" power of the Bible, and particularly it's ability to turn us to God, to give us wisdom, and to enlighten us.

On this first episode, Justin looks at the difference between On-Demand Conveniences vs. an On-Demand Attitude to studying the Bible. We will consider Bible passages such at Deuteronomy 6:4-9, John 14:26, Matthew 7:24-25, and 1 Peter 1:25 and also take a look at how Jesus taught His disciples. We learn that when we commit to learning God's Word and trusting the Holy Spirit as the teacher, we will find the necessary application to walk in understanding when it is most important.
