No Other Gospel (Salem)

The Righteous Judge

September 26, 2021 • Matt Porter • Galatians 6:11–18

Sow to the Spirit

September 12, 2021 • Matt Porter • Galatians 6:6–10

Have you become weary in doing good? We must evaluate our motives and our desires for why we do what we do as Christians. Are we sowing to the flesh, or sowing to the Spirit?

Bear One Another's Burdens

September 5, 2021 • Brian Bradley • Galatians 5:26—6:5

The Gospel gives us both confidence and humility, which shapes the way we interact with others. As we learn to live in light of the grace we have received by fixing our gaze on the cross, we discover how to live in Christian community with one another.

Spirit-Filled Living

August 29, 2021 • Matt Porter • Galatians 5:16–18, Galatians 5:22–26

The distinguishing mark of a Christian is a life led by the Holy Spirit. When we are led by the Spirit, our desire shifts from being selfishly motivated (by pride, shame, etc) to being motivated by the things of God.

For Freedom

August 22, 2021 • Matt Porter • Galatians 5:1–15

Any teaching that claims that our salvation is dependent upon works is false, destructive and enslaving. Christ has freed us from the burden of the law. So how can we live in a way that is truly free?

Who Gets the Blessing?

August 15, 2021 • Matt Porter • Galatians 4:21–31

Most of us default to the idea that we must be good in order to be accepted by God. But the blessing of God does not come to us through our goodness, obedience - or any work of our own. God's blessing comes to us because He loves us.

Disordered vs Ordered Worship

August 8, 2021 • Matt Porter • Galatians 4:8–20

Worshiping anything other than God results in slavery. We are often led to believe that following our affections will lead to happiness, but unless we are letting the gospel shape our affection first and foremost on Jesus, we will find ourselves in a self-made prison.

Adopted as Sons

August 1, 2021 • Brian Bradley • Galatians 3:26—4:7

Paul describes those who have been saved as God's chosen, adopted sons. How does this shape our view of God and what our response to Him should look like?

The Law and the Promise

July 25, 2021 • Brian Bradley • Galatians 3:15–25

What are we to make of the law? If our salvation is not by works but by faith, then what purpose does the law serve?

Counted as Righteous

July 18, 2021 • Brandon Haverland • Galatians 3:1–14

How does God move us from belief to righteousness? We tend to feel that we need to assist Him through our good works, but what He desires is that we simply trust Him.

Justified by Faith

July 11, 2021 • Matt Porter • Galatians 2:15–21

In Step with the Truth

July 4, 2021 • Matt Porter • Galatians 2:11–14

Preserving the Truth of the Gospel

June 27, 2021 • Brandon Haverland • Galatians 2:1–10

What's Your Story?

June 20, 2021 • Matt Porter • Galatians 1:10–24

In Paul's story, we see an example of God's sovereignty and grace, and how He chose to glorify Himself through a life completely changed by the Gospel. In what ways do you see God being glorified through your life?

Beware the Distortions

June 13, 2021 • Brian Bradley • Galatians 1:6–9

We are prone to want to add to the Gospel. This is not only unnecessary and unhelpful - it's dangerous.
