Boast In The Lord Series

Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Mar 22, 2019

Paul gives three reasons for boasting only in the cross of Jesus Christ: 1) The cross has the power to free believers from the world’s bondage (Galatians 6:14b), 2) It has the power to do what the flesh cannot do, and 3) It has the power to bring salvation.

Galatians 6:14-18 [14] But far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. [15] For neither circumcision counts for anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation. [16] And as for all who walk by this rule, ...read more

Christmas - Part 3

Contributed by Chuck Brooks on Oct 9, 2020

Last time we learned that both Jews and Gentiles, before Christ, were in bondage the "elements of the world." The “elements of the world” referred to the principles of non-Christian humanity, that is, humanity outside of Christ.

(Gal 4:1 NKJV) Now I say that the heir, as long as he is a child, does not differ at all from a slave, though he is master of all, (Gal 4:2 NKJV) but is under guardians and stewards until the time appointed by the father. (Gal 4:3 NKJV) Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under ...read more

Jesus Christ, God In The Flesh

Contributed by Chuck Brooks on Oct 15, 2020

The doctrine of the Incarnation touches and affects virtually every single area of Christian theology.

Last time we sought to answer the question, “Why did God become man?” Why would the Son of God leave all that He had in heaven and come to earth? Why did He do it? We learned three reasons why God became man: He did it so that you and I could relate to God, who is invisible to us. Secondly, ...read more

By Faith Alone Series

Contributed by Brian Bill on Oct 17, 2020

Jews and Gentiles are saved by faith alone in Christ alone.

The first sermon I gave was over 40 years ago at a Young Life gathering. I’m glad there is no audio or video evidence of that sermon! Over the last twenty years, I’ve been preaching multiple services nearly every weekend. You’d think I’d get the hang of it by now. I’ve been invigorated by ...read more

How Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Nov 8, 2020

How do you go from deep despair to the heights of joy? Psalm 22 holds the key.

“ … when they came to a place called Golgotha (which means Place of a Skull), they offered [Jesus] wine to drink, mixed with gall; but when He tasted it, He would not drink it. And when they had crucified Him, they divided His clothes among themselves by casting lots; then they sat down there and ...read more

Rescued And Replanted Series

Contributed by Brian Bill on Jul 6, 2020

See and serve the most vulnerable. We’re not all called to do the same thing, but we’re all capable of doing something.

A couple months ago I went for a run. I was distracted while searching for a podcast on my phone and didn’t notice the sidewalk was uneven. My toe caught the concrete and I stumbled, tried to regain my balance, and did a face plant on the pavement. At the last moment I put my arms out in front ...read more

John tells us how we can know whether or not we are in fellowship with God.

In the passage of Scripture we will look at today John tells us how we can know whether or not we are in fellowship with God.

Fellowshipping With The Father And The Son - Part 6

Contributed by Chuck Brooks on Jul 20, 2020

When people say they have no sin they are claiming sinless perfection and moral relativism. We are living in a culture that says it has no sin.

Review The Gnostics were the false teachers who believed matter to be evil, the spirit good, and salvation to come by secret knowledge (gnosis) granted to those who were part of their clique. John is teaching all of this to combat a heresy circulated by the Gnostics called ...read more

License To Kill Series

Contributed by Jefferson Williams on Jul 24, 2020

But, after spending all this time in the book of Galatians, I just wonder if we are missing the point. Wouldn’t it be amazing to go to the mall and interview people and ask, “What does Christianity mean to you?” And get the answer: “One word…freedom

Fellowshipping With The Father And The Son - Part 8

Contributed by Chuck Brooks on Jul 30, 2020

John didn't want his readers to willingly fall short of God's holy standard. If you are a true believer you will not want to sin. Having a desire not to sin is one of the proofs you are a believer.

Review The Gnostics said they had no sin, blaming their sinful acts on their body. John was setting the record straight for his readers. The bad new John tells us is that we do sin. The good news is that if we confess our sin God is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sin and cleanse us ...read more
