The Neighborly Thing To Do
(Click on “Save” above to download this week’s sermon notes.) Sunday we look at two of the most important practical expressions of Christian living – loving your neighbor as yourself. We’ll see these through Galatians 6:1-6. I’m looking forward to a great day in the Lord as we delve into the reality that the fruit of the Spirit is more…
A Stark Alternative
(Click on “Save” above to download this week’s sermon notes.) Sunday we complete the picture we started last week in Galatians 5:13-26, starting at verse 22. It’s my prayer that we will help demystify the confusion of what it means to live in the Spirit and to keep in step with him. I consider this concept to be one of the most fundamental and most…
From Blessing to Abuse
(Click on “Save” above to download this week’s sermon notes.) FROM BLESSING TO ABUSE – Galatians 5:13-21 “Liberty is not the power of doing as we like, it is the right to do as we ought” (Lord Acton). Unfortunately too many don’t live out the reality of that truth. Sunday we look at the danger of abusing the freedom that we have…
Recovery
We’ve all seen the “funny” videos of people getting tripped up. I guess it’s funny if nothing more happens, but you can really get hurt with a bad fall. We don’t just stumble physically, we trip spiritually due to some teaching, situation, or person. All of a sudden we are out of sync with God and with believers and others around us. Sunday…
Living Unhindered
(Click on “Save” above to download this week’s sermon notes.) LIVING UNHINDERED – Galatians 5:1-12 Picture an athlete that is running well, near the front of the pack. He’s being cheered on and has a clear shot at crossing the finish first. Suddenly a runner cuts in on him. He stumbles and as he’s going down sees the field surging…
Remaining Free
(Click on “Save” above to download this week’s sermon notes.) REMAINING FREE Galatians 4:21 – 5:1 A child of freedom or a child of slavery; that’s the choice we look at Sunday. How will we choose to live? The choice seems obvious yet we keep retreating into old ways. We’ll learn to recognize when we do and how we can stand firm against the tendency in…
Listening When It Hurts
(Click on “Save” above to download this week’s sermon notes.) Listening When It Hurts is a painful experience, especially when it comes from a friend. We would much rather hear the words that reinforce our current course, even if the person speaking doesn’t have our best interests at heart. Sunday in Galatians 4:8-20 we’ll see some principles…
What Changed Everything
(Click on “Save” above to download this week’s sermon notes.) Three great elements come together to make this a Sunday you won’t want to miss. In the first element we see What Changed Everything in a great passage in Galatians 4:1-7 that shows us where our grace alone journey all began and what difference it makes in both our eternal and everyday…
You Can’t Have It Both Ways
(Click on “Save” above to download this week’s sermon notes.) Have you ever seen before & after photos? They promote home makeovers, weight loss plans, exercise programs, and countless other things. They have one thing in common; they show a previous sad state followed by a bright optimistic present with a great future. That’s what we see on…
No Turning Back
(Click on “Save” above to download this week’s sermon notes.) NO TURNING BACK Galatians 3:1-14 It’s easy to believe that what bothers God most is a life that is filled with obvious, gross, super-immoral sin. We see those lives, shake our heads and say, “those people really need God!” We seldom have that same response to upstanding role…
When Compromise Trumps Conviction
ONE FAITH, ONE FAMILY Studies in Galatians We’ve all been there before – in an uncomfortable situation or conversation where silence or outright compromise of our faith or principles stares us down. There’s an opportunity to do right and we blow it. Why do we do it? Sunday in Galatians 2:11-21 we’ll look at the anatomy of compromise and answer that…
Under One Gospel
(Click on “Save” above to download this week’s sermon notes) “Yet because of false brothers secretly brought in—who slipped in to spy out our freedom that we have in Christ Jesus, so that they might bring us into slavery— to them we did not yield in submission even for a moment, so that the truth of the gospel might be preserved for you.” (Galatians…
