The Story of the Bible
Galatians: Freedom in Faith
The Gospel asserts that we are saved through faith by grace alone. But as time goes on, it can be easy to feel less needy; to begin relying on our own efforts; to take pride in our advancement. The message of Galatians draws us back to humble and life-giving reliance on Christ.
1 & 2 Thessalonians: Present Pain, Future Glory
What we hope for shapes what we live for. Followers of Christ are able to live faithfully to God because they see things from the proper perspective! Any present discomfort or sacrifice is nothing in comparison to the glory that is to come at Christ’s return!
Philemon: Forgiven to Forgive
Is there someone in your life who has hurt or wronged you? Forgiveness is a process that requires wisdom and discernment, but in its simplest form, it requires us surrendering punishment to God. Herein lies the power to do so: Christ reconciled himself to us while we were sinners, so we can forgive and love those who have hurt us.
