Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Sep 23, 2019

Up until now in our series we've covered the beatitudes and being salt and light. Today I'll be talking about the law. That was OT stuff; we're NT Christians so why do we need to pay attention to the law? As Christians what's our relation to the law?

Who's Your Momma? Series

Contributed by Jefferson Williams on Jul 17, 2020

When preaching through Galatians, many pastors either just mention this section or skip over it altogether. Why? Because it is a hard section to preach! It’s theologically deep and I’ve had to work hard to be able to explain in a way that we can all understand.

Righteousness Plus Series

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Nov 24, 2022

The law has a purpose beyond itself. The law is a tool to form a people for God.
