Gospel Fluency
Orphans or Sons (Galatians 1:3-5; 4:4-7)
November 19, 2023 • Brad Jones • Galatians 1:3–5, Galatians 4:4–7
The gospel of Jesus Christ changes our entire identity. It means that, as Christians, we have the status of forgiven, justified, and redeemed Children of God. Paul is writing the church to remind them to not fall back into thinking they are orphans, but to lean into the promise that God is a loving Father who has adopted us into his family.
Justified and Righteous (Romans 4 & 5)
November 5, 2023 • Brad Jones • Romans 4:1–5, Romans 5:1–2, Romans 5:6–17
All of us have something or someone to which we look for justification. We all want to know that we are all square in life, both with people, and with God. This week we look at how we are actually “justified” according to the gospel and what that means for how we live.
