Galatians - God's Path, Purpose, and Plan

September 1, 2024 • Connor Kraus • Galatians 1:1–2, Ephesians 2:8, Romans 5:1, Galatians 1:3–5

The Galatian churches had a problem. They were looking to become righteous through the Law instead of through Christ alone. So Paul was the perfect person to help them! He used to be a Pharisee who was zealous for the Law until he met Jesus and was completely changed. This week, Pastor Connor walks us through the introduction to Galatians, focusing on how the gospel is a message of God's grace and peace toward us. It reveals to us the path, purpose, and plan that God has for our lives.

Galatians - Don't Look at Me, It's a God Thing!

September 15, 2024 • Jim Congdon • Galatians 1:11–24, Ephesians 2:1–10, 2 Corinthians 11:23–25, 2 Corinthians 11:32–33

What turning point in your life can only be explained by “It’s a God thing”? That’s the question Pastor Jim asks us to consider in this week’s message on Galatians. In that letter, Paul responds to his critics by saying that his gospel came from Jesus Christ, not from himself. Join us as we dig into what that meant for the Galatians, as well as for us today.

Galatians - A False Gospel

September 8, 2024 • Connor Kraus • Ephesians 2:1–10, Galatians 1:6–9

Sometimes we're astonished by how wonderful something is. Other times, we're astonished by how bad things have gotten. In Paul's letter to the Galatians, he tells them they've filled him with astonishment by how far they've drifted from the truth of Christ. In this week's message, Pastor Connor talks about how false teachers came in, obscuring and twisting the truth that reconciliation with God is by faith in Christ's work alone. He discusses why their teaching was so dangerous, as well as how we can guard the truth in our own understanding of the gospel.
