    The Covenant Of God Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Feb 19, 2026
     | 51 views

    There are two views regarding justification – one based by faith in the promise of God to provide justification through the promised Messiah, and the other based on man’s ability to keep the law through absolute obedience. One is of grace; the other is of works.

    The Covenant of God Galatians 3: 15-22 As Paul confronted the false doctrine of the Judaizers, he defended Abraham’s justification being based on faith rather than works in the preceding passage. It appears that Paul anticipated the natural response of the Judaizers to his claims. He felt they ...read more

    Faith Like Abraham Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Feb 12, 2026
     | 105 views

    As one considers Abraham, and all the saints of the Old Testament, the question is often raised – how were they saved and made acceptable to God? While it may seem difficult to fully comprehend, Scripture is clear that they were justified by faith, like all who believe.

    Faith like Abraham Galatians 3:6-14 Over the past few weeks, we have discussed the doctrine of salvation by faith in Christ alone. Paul has clearly argued that this biblical doctrine is central to the gospel. The Galatians had been influenced by Judaizers, those who taught works of the law were ...read more

    Paul’s Defense Of Justification Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Feb 4, 2026
     | 118 views

    As I think back over my Christian walk, and the twenty years I have served in pastoral ministry, many have come and gone within the church. While some moved on to faithfully serve in other churches, others abandoned the church altogether.

    Paul’s Defense of Justification Galatians 3: 1-5 As I think back over my Christian walk, and the twenty years I have served in pastoral ministry, many have come and gone within the church.

    Justified By Faith Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jan 29, 2026
     | 158 views

    Within this passage, Paul beautifully defends salvation by faith in Christ alone, apart from any works of man. Many seek to add to the gospel, but Paul argues biblically that salvation is based in personal faith in the finished work of Christ.

    Justified by Faith Galatians 2: 11-21 Our text today reveals Paul’s continued struggle with the legalistic Judaizers and their expectations regarding salvation. The Judaizers refused to accept salvation by faith alone in Christ alone. Unfortunately, their influence affected the early ministry of ...read more

    Confirmed In Jerusalem Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jan 25, 2026
     | 117 views

    Since the Garden of Eden, Satan has been working against the plans and purposes of God regarding humanity. As one reads the Scriptures, a pattern of resistance and opposition is prevalent against those who sought to proclaim the truth. He continues to oppose the Word and the faithful.

    Confirmed in Jerusalem Galatians 2: 1-10 Since the Garden of Eden, Satan has been working against the plans and purposes of God regarding humanity.

    The Birth Of A New Man Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jan 15, 2026
     | 257 views

    Paul is very candid about the man he was prior to Christ, and the miraculous transformation he experienced through coming to Christ in salvation. One who hated the Lord and His church, was brought to saving faith and called to be an apostle in order to preach the gospel to the Gentiles.

    The Birth of a New Man Galatians 1:13-24 In our text today, Paul is very candid about the man he was prior to Christ, and the miraculous transformation he experienced through coming to Christ in salvation. One who hated the Lord and His church, was brought to saving faith and called to be an ...read more

    Challenged With The Truth Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jan 8, 2026
     | 237 views

    Paul was well aware of the presence of false teachers among them and the real dangers their teaching posed to the churches and those within their communities. This wasn’t an issue that Paul could ignore – the souls of people within Galatia hung in the balance.

    Challenged with the Truth Galatians 1:6-12 I think you will agree that Paul offered a very encouraging and gracious greeting to the Galatians. However, having greeted them, he got right to the point regarding his concern for them. Paul was well aware of the presence of false teachers among them ...read more

    A Convincing Salutation Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jan 5, 2026
     | 173 views

    Paul sought to address the challenges within Galatia regarding false teaching and many of the believers there being tempted to move away from the truth of the gospel, being influenced by the Judaizers who refused to accept the gospel by grace through faith alone.

    A Convincing Salutation Galatians 1:1-5 Today, I want to begin our journey through the book Paul wrote to the believers in Galatia. Many scholars agree that Galatians was one of the earliest of Paul’s letters, likely written somewhere around 49-50 AD. This early date assumes Paul was writing to ...read more

    A Spirit-Filled Marriage

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jun 30, 2025
     | 422 views

    A Spirit-filled marriage is a profound representation of Christ's love, requiring mutual submission that leads to deep connection and growth, transforming struggles into opportunities for grace and unity.

    A Spirit-filled Marriage Ephesians 5: 22-33 Through our study in recent weeks, we have discovered much about our walk with the Lord and among the world. We have been challenged to walk in love, righteousness, light, and awareness. In our text, Paul continues to deal with the walk of believers, but ...read more

    Walk With Awareness

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jun 23, 2025
     | 643 views

    Those who walk in love, in righteousness, and in the light are to walk in awareness of the day. This involves not only recognizing the great lostness and depravity of our day but responding to these pressing needs in a way that honors the Lord and impacts our culture.

    Walk with Awareness Ephesians 5:15-21 We have discussed much in recent weeks. Paul admonished the church to walk in Love. Our walk and witness are to reflect the love of Christ – the sacrificial love we have received. We are to walk in Righteousness. The world at large lives to please the flesh, ...read more

     | 673 views

    If we are to walk in a way that pleases the Lord, we must walk in love; we must walk in righteousness, and we must walk in the light. This is not optional – we must walk in the light.

    Walk in the Light Ephesians 5:8-14 As we move forward in this fifth chapter of Ephesians, we continue to be reminded of the lives we are to live in Christ. Our text today is a continuation of the thoughts from the preceding verses. If we are to walk in a way that pleases the Lord, we must walk in ...read more

    Walk In Righteousness

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jun 3, 2025
     | 673 views

    We live in the midst of a rapidly changing culture, one that has no desire for that which is righteous and holy. The church is being pressured to abandon the truths of Scripture in order to conform to the dictates of the culture.

    Walk in Righteousness Ephesians 5: 3-7 In our last study, Paul admonished believers to follow the Lord, literally being imitators of God. In order to accomplish such an enormous task, we must walk in the love of Christ the Lord. Those who are purposefully following the Lord and walking in the love ...read more

    Walk In Love

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on May 25, 2025
     | 597 views

    Likely, in our spiritual lives, there has been at least one person who has impacted your life, creating a desire to develop the kind of walk with the Lord that closely resembled theirs. While each of these have their place, none can compare to the influence of our heavenly Father.

    Walk in Love Ephesians 5: 1-2 Take a moment to consider those who have greatly impacted your life. Surely, we have all had a family member, friend, or mentor that we looked-up to, someone whose influence created a desire for us to become like them. For me, it was my grand-father. My childhood was ...read more

    The Gospel Of The Kingdom

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jul 23, 2024
     | 1,403 views

    As you consider the life and ministry of Jesus, what comes to mind? What was His purpose for coming to the earth? He came with purpose – a purpose ordained of God, the Father before the foundation of the world.

    The Gospel of the Kingdom Mark 1:14-15 “When you hear the bells ringing out at Christmas, think of the reason why Jesus was born. Dream not that He came to load your tables and fill your cups, but in your mirth look higher than all earth-born things. When you hear that in certain churches there ...read more

    The Commitment Of A Godly Leader Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jul 16, 2024
     | 1,253 views

    Godly leaders will face opposition and discouragement. There will be times when it seems as if you and the Lord are the only ones who care about the task at hand. In those times, you must remember your calling and remain committed to the task.

    The Commitment of a Godly Leader Nehemiah 4: 14; 19; 22-23 “Conversion is a turning into the right road; the next thing is to walk in it. The daily going on in that road is as essential as the first starting if you would reach the desired end. To strike the first blow is not all the battle; to him ...read more
