As Paul transitions into the ethical part of his letter, he draws together his previous points and lays the foundation for everything else he is going to say in the command to "Love your neighbor."

Continuing with the theme of freedom in Christ, Paul takes up the matter of how we are transformed to become true heirs, children, of God and abandon the slavery of legalism.

Understanding the essence of salvation and the distinction between our efforts/work and that of God is essential for the believer. This sermon looks at Paul's contrast between the Law and the Savior and how submitting to the Savior leads us to true freedom.

In plotting your course through your life as an individual and church member it can be difficult knowing when your dealing with peer-pressure and when you are needing to collaborate. This message looks at Paul's reflections on his early journey as an Apostle and how he navigated his course. The short answer - he depended on the Scriptures. This message points to how we can do the same.

In a contentious world it can be tempting to back away from arguments, but there are some things worth fighting for. The series VS kicks off with a message focused on Paul's argument that there is a true Gospel and a false Gospel.

For the believer, victory comes not through better planning or fighting harder, but from surrender! Surrendering to to the Almighty is not something to be ashamed of but expresses a commitment to placing our lives in God's hands and seeing His glory make a difference in our lives and the world around us. This message looks at Israel's experience at the Red Sea as a model for God's expectations for us in finding peace in a chaotic world.

Finding peace is often associated with finding purpose. Scripture tells us what are purpose is, but too often we get distracted by the issues of life. This message looks at distraction and how to dismiss it so that we become the people God made us to be and in doing so, find peace.

Following the path of least resistance is a great temptation because it gives the impression that such an approach will result in peace. This message looks at the relationship of prayer and priorities for the Christian and how it is only through proper expressions of both of these that we will find true peace.

In a world full of fearful things, we can sometimes be led down paths that are not healthy - physically, emotionally, or spiritually. Understanding the Power of God allows us to collect ourselves and travel through this life confident in who He is and to be able to engage others with the grace and love He showed us. Psalm 46 is a call to stop struggling with life and let God be God. We visit it in this message.

A command only makes sense and is something we want to follow if it comes from a source who can support that command. God's command to "Be Still" throughout Scripture will only take hold if we have internalized an acceptance of His power and authority. This message looks at how Jesus is fully able to back-up His commands to us to "Be Still" by demonstrating His power to get the Sea to do just that.
