Good Friday & Easter, Media, Sermons | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

Today, on Easter, we gather to celebrate Jesus’ climactic defeat of Satan, sin, and death itself through his bodily resurrection from the grave. To do that we will turn to the fifth chapter of the book of Revelation. In this chapter, the Apostle John pulls back the curtain on reality and gives us insight into what is most real. At its center is the Lion who conquered, the risen Lamb that was slain and a new ransomed people from every tribe, tongue, and nation.

Good Friday & Easter, Media, Sermons | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

Today we remember the murder of Jesus the Christ on a cross. Good Friday marks the day the King of Glory set aside his glory that we might share His glory. God the Father poured out His just wrath on God the Son in our place that we might become sons and daughters. On Good Friday we see the reality of our need for God and rejoice in the reality of God's love for us in Jesus.

Galatians, Media, Sermons | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

The book of Galatians is a letter written to a group of local churches in the region of Galatia, which Paul planted during his first missionary journey (see Acts 13-14). These were young churches, filled with young Christians who were learning what it meant to follow Jesus. After his departure, men arrived who began to challenge Paul’s authority and change his message, the gospel. Today, in 5:1-15, Paul urges us to stand firm in the freedom that is ours in Jesus.

After Paul left Galatia, men arrived who began to challenge Paul's authority and attempted to add to his message and the Gospel. Today, in Galatians 4:12-31, Paul urges us to return to the gospel of grace by using the story of Abraham, Sarah and Hagar as a powerful, and important, illustration of where true freedom is found.

Today, in Galatians 4:1-11, Paul paints a beautiful picture of what it means for the follower of Jesus to be adopted from “slave” to “son” by the sovereign grace and mercy of God the Father, through the glorious redeeming and adopting work of Jesus the Son.

Today, in Galatians 3:15-29, Paul refutes the idea that we are made right with God through our obedience by demonstrating the supremacy of God’s promise to Abraham. It’s a dense, tightly-argued passage, that powerfully displays the necessity of grace and the all-sufficiency of Jesus.

Galatians, Media, Sermons | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

Today in Galatians 3:1-14, Paul invites us to consider how we are made right with God and the implications that has in our every day lives. How do we know where we stand with God? What is our assurance? How do we know how God views us and feels about us right now? Can we?

In Galatians 2:11-21 we come to Paul's introduction of a phrase he will use frequently as a sort of “gospel shorthand” – justification by faith. In this passage Paul describes a confrontation with Peter. Peter was acting out of the fear of man rather than the truth of the gospel, and undermining the freedom of the gospel message. Paul opposes Peter's actions and reminds us that justification is God's act of unearned favor toward us in Christ, and is obtained only through faith in Christ.

We are on the front end of a new study through the Apostle Paul's letter to the church of Galatia. Today, in Galatians 2:1-10, we get an important clue as to why Paul is so fired up as he defends the Gospel. This portion of Paul's letter defends the freedom we have when we are in Christ and lovingly corrects a movement within the local church of Galatia.

Galatians, Media, Sermons | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

Last week we began a new study through the Apostle Paul’s letter to the Galatians. These were young churches, filled with young Christians – much like our own – who were learning what it meant to follow Jesus. Last week we did a basic overview of the letter, and its primary themes. Today, in Galatians 1:10-24, Paul defends his authority and his gospel as an Apostle of Jesus Christ by sharing his own story of how Jesus met him.
