Thoughts on Galatians 4

A major underlying issue Paul is addressing in Galatians is his fear that the church might get sidetracked by heresies, especially related to what it means to be a member of the Messiah’s people. Paul was concerned about idol worship; the observance of holy days, months, seasons, and years; and there was always the concern... Read More

Making Disciples in Christ

In Matthew 28:18-20 Christ says the mission of the church is to go to all people groups and 1) baptize or submerge the people in relationship with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and 2) teach the people to do the things Jesus wants them to do. The focus of this sermon is on the... Read More

The Judaizers resisted Paul’s message and wanted to say that he was in conflict with the apostles in Jerusalem. Paul says when Peter first visited... Read More

Our Surrendered Savior

What Jesus won us to (to love God and others), He won us by (His love for God and others). Jesus was not a puppet. He surrendered to the Father and the pain of the cross because of His love. We cannot die for and save ourselves, but we can surrender to Christ. Victory is... Read More
