Galatians
Gently and Lowly
August 23, 2020 • Pastor Jim Essian
"Does Jesus ghost us when we sin? How do you imagine He looks at you when you sin? How have you responded to people lately in their sin? We're in our second to last week in our study through the book of Galatians, and the Apostle Paul gets super practical...especially in our age of cancel culture. See how the gentleness of Jesus changes you."
Fight for Freedom
August 9, 2020 • Pastor Jim Essian
'For freedom Christ has set you free...' The human heart doesn’t default to a dependence on grace and faith, but a dependence on self and http://works...so we have to stand firm…we have to fight for freedom…we have to stay needy. We need all of Jesus, not just part of Him.
Son or Slave
August 2, 2020 • Pastor Jim Essian
Pastor Jim is back this week to continue our series on Galatians. In these verses Paul uses a story about two women and two sons of Abraham to teach us about two approaches to Christianity. One through legalism, self-reliance, and self-justification. And one through grace and the promises of God.
The Experiential Love of God
June 28, 2020 • Pastor Jim Essian
Pastor Jim reminded us of the objective truths Paul teaches to the Galatians in chapters 1-2 and showed us how Paul, with righteous anger and godly jealousy, moves into the subjective, experiential aspects of the Christian life in chapter 3.
The Gospel & Racial Justice
June 14, 2020 • Pastor Jim Essian
The Gospel of Free Grace changes how we interact with groups and categories of people around http://us...it calls us to fight for freedom, and it calls us to offer free grace to all http://people...even those who disagree with us or who are different.
