    For Every Rule, There Are Always Exceptions

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Mar 14, 2015
     | 6,847 views

    The only way we can be transformed and freed is through faith in Christ. That faith will transform us and free us by giving us power to do God’s work in our world-and that is the true spirit of the Sabbath.

    Have you ever noticed that every time you turn around, there seems to be another rule for you to obey? Have you ever noticed that some of these rules seem to be foolish? Well, I certainly have in both cases. To make matters worse, there are cases where no exceptions can be made to these rules, even ...read more

    Levi - Tax Collector Turned Disciple Series

    Contributed by Chuck Gohn on Jul 13, 2022
     | 2,471 views

    This sermon focuses on Jesus' calling of Levi (Matthew) and the legalistic attitudes that people often adopt about who is worthy of God's forgiveness and who is not.

    [Reading Mark 2:13-17] In today’s passage out of the book of Mark, we don’t find Jesus throwing a birthday party for a prostitute, but we do find him hanging out with some unsavory characters called tax collectors and other sinners because that is really what Jesus would do and that is what Jesus ...read more

     | 1,210 views

    Jesus suffered to give us an example of how to die unjustly, but He did not condone that murder.

    Monday of Holy Week Bruised Reeds The Gospel today tells us that the Messiah will not break the bruised reed or extinguish the smouldering wick. In other words, He understands our weakness and treats it with mercy, not vindictiveness. God is particularly respectful of our weak wills and frail ...read more

    The Importance Of Faith Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,899 views

    Paul anticipates the Judaizers next objection since they were huge fans of the law of Moses. In general, they recognized the importance of the Abrahamic covenant, but they gave priority to the Mosaic covenant. This led them to emphasize law over faith.

    INTRO: We have seen the interrogation of faith and the illustration of faith and today we’ll see the importance of faith. Next week is the identity of faith. What Paul has been hammering home in Galatians is that we are saved by faith and not by works. This is the distinguishing hallmark of ...read more

    There are no gray areas. The Word has a correct answer for every issue. Issues are only gray when people do not want the full light of God but want to tiptoe on the edges of darkness.

    Helping The Fallen Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Apr 25, 2005
    based on 28 ratings
     | 4,374 views

    What happens when you sin? Legalism tells us to look down on that brother because they "failed." But in Galatians, Paul gives us a new way to help those who have fallen.

    We left off last week by comparing the acts of the flesh with the fruit of the Spirit. Though we all want the latter, we often act in the former. Finding freedom from legalism and the condemnation it brings doesn’t mean you immediately cease from sin. Our goal is still to be like Christ - and we ...read more

    Blood Relations Series

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 9, 2011
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,450 views

    Blood is thicker than water. But the blood that matters is not ours - not our common ancestors, not our genetic heritage, not even a shared cultural or legal identity. The blood that makes the church a family is Jesus’ blood.

    One of the things I have always like about being here in Clayton is the small town, family atmosphere. I moved around so much when I was young that I don’t know anyone I went to kindergarten with; I hardly even know most of my relatives. But here... We have multiple generations sitting right here ...read more

    We are called by god to be free from sin and the ways of the world, not to be caught up in legalism or keeping score of good deed. what Christ did for us was to free us up to do His will.

    Galatians 5:1–6 (NKJV) We’re talking about freedom today. The freedom we have in Christ. But many misunderstand that freedom. Galatians 5:1 (NKJV) Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage. When I study a Bible ...read more

    Shouldn’t marriages that are contrary to sound biblical doctrines be rightly, albeit be legally, kept away from the church just as men wittingly keeps out of the ladies in public places and vice versa.

    Evil is not yet unmasked and fully revealed nevertheless it seems evil is being emboldened daily in the West and aimed to contain the church of Christ and to censor pure Biblical doctrines. Indeed, it is alas! These wanton affronts on the Church and on pure Biblical doctrines is akin to ...read more
