A Study in Galatians
Galatians 2:20- I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
The Gospel We Express
September 1, 2019 • Nirup Alphonse
Galatians 6:11-18 There is only one true Gospel and when we encounter it we experience a new reality of grace, peace, and mercy. When we experience that Gospel we cannot help but express it. In this final message in our series in Galatians, Pastor Nirup ends with a powerful illustration of what it looks like to boast in the cross of Christ.

Make The Most Of It
August 18, 2019 • Nirup Alphonse
Galatians 5:13-25 Freedom is what we are called to. Yet, freedom is not the end-all. Freedom is not complete in and of itself. Freedom creates opportunity for us to make active choices. The Gospel calls us into freedom and to make the most of that freedom by choosing to love.
The Voice That Calls Us
August 11, 2019 • Nirup Alphonse
Galatians 5:7-12 There are two voices inviting you into freedom. One is actual freedom and the other is the perception of freedom. In this message, Pastor Nirup teaches from a powerful section of the letter to the Galatians where Jesus invites us into a life of actual freedom. However, we must choose which voice we will listen to.
Freedom Delivered
July 28, 2019 • Andrew Morrison
Galatians 4:21-31 In this piece of scripture, we see Paul wrapping up his thoughts with a story on two paths. There's the path of self reliance that always leads to slavery, or the path for the true freedom we desire, which has been delivered in the Gospel.
Moving Forward
July 21, 2019 • Trevor Maggart
Galatians 4:8-20 The Christian life is an adventure filled with discovery, fulfillment, and beauty. However, the challenges that come with this path may leave us pondering a return to a lesser life. Let’s take a look at how Galatians 4:8-20 challenges us to keep moving forward.
Invited To The Table
July 14, 2019 • Nirup Alphonse
Galatians 3:23 - 4:7 Faith is the place where we move from strangers to adopted children of God. In this message Pastor Nirup teaches from one of the most powerful texts in all of Scripture. We see that in Christ, we are invited into the very presence of God and get to have a place at His table.
Grace Is Better
July 7, 2019 • Nirup Alphonse
Galatians 3:15-22 In this section of the book of Galatians Paul takes on the tone of a professor as he compares a life founded in grace versus a life based on performance. The reality is that grace is far superior to a life where performing for God is the standard to live by.
Embracing Christ's Sufficiency
June 30, 2019 • Trevor Maggart
Galatians 3:10-14 All humanity shares a common need, to be made right before God. The unfortunate reality is that we often seek to meet this need through that which is insufficient. In Galatians 3:10-14, Paul unpacks the way this deep need can be met through the all-sufficient Jesus.
Do Not Be Fooled
June 23, 2019 • Andrew Morrison
Galatians 3:1-9 We often believe in the Good News that Jesus saves us but then we somehow come to believe that it is up to our own effort to continue God's transforming work in our selves. In this message, we are reminded once again that it is the Spirit of God who not only begins the work of salvation in us but carries it through every day.
Persuaded to Trust
June 16, 2019 • Nirup Alphonse
Galatians 2:20 God is not in the business of forcing, manipulating or tricking us to believe in Him. Rather, He persuades us to trust Him with evidence of His kindness, love, and compassion. When we accept the invitation to trust Him we live in full expectation of what He promises.
The Gospel You Experience
June 9, 2019 • Nirup Alphonse
Galatians 2:11-21 In this portion of his letter to the Galatian church, Paul lays out what is arguably the core of Christian doctrine. The longing of our hearts is to be made right with God, ourselves and others. In this message, we see the reality of how the Gospel brings us to a place where we in fact right before God, and in turn with ourselves and others.
No Compromise
June 2, 2019 • Nirup Alphonse
Galatians 2:1-10 It could be said that the Christian life is a life of freedom. This freedom is not something we earn but a gift that is given in and through Christ Jesus. In this message Pastor Nirup preaches why we are called as followers of Jesus to not compromise on the gospel but rather live in its power and grace.
The Promise of the Gospel
May 26, 2019 • Crystal Miller, Teaching Team
Galatians 1:10-24 The promise of the Gospel is to meet you where you are. No matter what season of life you are in; no matter what your past looks like the reality is this - God doesn’t meet you where you should be, or you could be, or where are you must be. God meets you where you are and He loves you enough not to leave you the way He found you.
