Heirs to the Kingdom

September 22, 2024 • Greg Pinkner • Galatians 4

This Sunday, Greg looks at Galatians 4:1-31, teaching that salvation cannot come from the law or ancestry but through faith in Jesus Christ, emphasizing that believers are now children and heirs of God's promise. Paul, in Galatians 4, compares the difference between living under the law as a slave and living in the freedom of faith as a child of God. Through Christ, Christians are no longer bound by sin or the elementary principles of the world but are freed to receive their inheritance in God's Kingdom.

I Will Boast in Christ

November 3, 2024 • Greg Pinkner • Galatians 6:11–18

This Sunday, Greg teaches from Galatians 6:11-18, finishing our series on Galatians. In these verses, Paul concludes his letter by affirming that salvation comes solely through faith in Christ, without the need for additional religious rituals. Adding requirements to the gospel nullifies its power and dishonors Christ's sacrifice. True Christianity isn’t about outward appearances but about becoming a new creation in Christ. Paul reminds believers that their lives should focus on glorifying God, not seeking approval from the world or boasting in personal accomplishments.

Sowing and Reaping

October 27, 2024 • RD McClenagan • Galatians 6:7–10

This Sunday, RD teaches from Galatians 6:7-10 and the biblical principle of sowing and reaping, urging self-reflection on the kind of "fruit" one's life produces. We are called to assess our lives honestly, asking what outcomes are emerging from our actions and habits. We will each reap what we sow, whether positive or negative, based on whether we are investing in spiritual or fleshly pursuits. Faithfulness may not always yield immediate results, but persistent, godly living promises that spiritual investments will yield an eternal, righteous harvest, even if unseen in the present.

Bearing Burdens

October 20, 2024 • Devon Accardi • Galatians 6:1–5

This Sunday, Devon teaches from Galatians 6:1-5, looking at the importance of restoring others gently when they falter. He underscores that walking in step with the Holy Spirit is vital for every believer; spiritual restoration is delicate and requires careful handling by someone deeply connected to the Spirit. We are to bear each other's burdens, and walking with someone in need requires prayer, patience, and commitment.
