Galatians, Media, Sermons | by Pastor Craig Sturm

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.

Galatians, Media, Sermons | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

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.

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.

Today we begin a study through the Apostle Paul's letter to the Galatians. The churches and Christians of Galatia were young, and still learning what it meant to follow Jesus. Galatians is Paul's response to men who had begun to challenge Paul and change the message of the Gospel in the church. Still relevant to our church today, this letter is filled with assurance of the Gospel message and the joy and freedom found there.

Disciple: Living For Jesus, Media, Sermons | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

The first sermon of the series, we begin with what it means to be “in Christ” – also known as our union with Christ. This union is the beginning, middle, and end of all our discipleship. To be in Christ is an invitation to evaluate our identity in a new way. Our identity in Christ is the heart of what it means to be Christian. In Christ we are a new creation, and experience a dynamic, relational oneness with Christ. As we focus on four different aspects of this union, we see that we are represented by Jesus, that He becomes the foundation of our life, that we are loved with the same love the Father has for the Son, and that we now live before the face of God. Our greatest treasure is being in Christ.
