Have you found yourself reverting back to old habits and places of comfortability? Often this reversion happens because of our innate sin nature pushing us back into our old ways--but when we are in Christ we are called to freedom. Maybe you fall into the state of mind that you can be sufficient on your own and do it all on your own, Jesus deeply desires us to reject this thinking and stand firm in His freedom for us—the freedom of the Gospel. We are continuing in our Galatians series, Good News, studying the freedom from the law and security found in the Gospel. When we find ourselves going back to our old ways, habits, or sins, it's as if we are re-enslaving ourselves to the law and forfeiting our liberty in Jesus. Paul shows us that we lose the benefits of Christ, the scandal of the cross, and the motivation to love when we revert to the law and believe the lie that we can do it all on our own efforts. In some ways freedom is scary, we can find comfort in thinking that our faith is based on works, but Jesus is desiring us to know in deep ways that our faith is based solely by believing in the Gospel and accepting Christ as our Savior. Jesus saved us by grace alone, despite our flaws and shortcomings, He loves us deeply. We would be foolish to go back to the law and abandon a gracious Gospel and loving Father. Listen to the latest message, Gospel Freedom, to learn more on how you can abandon the law and deepen your trust in Christ alone.

Where can you find true freedom? Have you found yourself searching for something that will satisfy the longing in your heart? Today, we are continuing in our Good News series, revealing the goodness of the Gospel. In Christ, we get to experience the truest form of freedom, eternal joy in Him. We are promised of this truth, within His word are several points and promises from Christ that reveal His ultimate desire—to save and free us from the law and burden of sin. In the depths of your souls, maybe you felt a stirring, or deep longing for something more, to be freed. When we enter in relationship with Jesus and put our trust in His Gospel, we get to step into the freedom He promises us. Jesus states that we are children of the promise and free in Christ. The law before Christ brought slavery, but the Gospel brings freedom, and we should stand firm in that freedom. We can’t muster this freedom on our own, it’s a gift given through Christ alone. Join us in the newest message of the series, The Gospel is Not Self-Effort and walk in the true freedom of Christ, that frees our souls and satisfies our hearts.

As Christians, how does the Gospel form us? Maybe this question has crossed your mind or maybe it hasn’t, the formation we go through in Christ is an ongoing process. This week we continue in our series, Good News, studying the Gospel and how it shapes our lives. As we seek after Christ and are continually molded by Him, we are given three action steps. We are to remember our former bondage—where we were before Christ, return to our former zeal, and receive Christ’s formative work. When we allow ourselves to be formed by the Gospel, we experience the freedom that can only come when we are in Christ. Our Savior renews us each day, as we surrender ourselves to His work and give Him the space to shape and form us. Join us this week in the newest message of the Good News series, Gospel Formation, and walk in the freedom of the Gospel of Christ.

By belonging to Christ we find a new sense of freedom; we are adopted into the body of Christ. Our faith is not justified in our works, but by faith alone in Jesus. As we dive into another week of our Good News message series, we will see this week that the Gospel alone is all we need. Paul writes in his letter to Galatia that he has been crucified with Christ, stating that Christ lives in him, no longer did he allow his flesh to lead him. As fellow believers in Jesus, this truth is the same for us. When we came to know Christ Jesus, we surrendered our lives to Him, from there our lives are transformed by faith in God. In this chapter, we see that nothing but the Gospel is needed. The Gospel is our source of freedom, ministry, and justification. We have access to lean on Jesus at any moment. The Gospel is rich in hope for a weary world. Join us in the newest message of the series, The Gospel Plus Nothing Else, we pray a fire is stirred in your heart to be a minister of the Good News of Jesus.

In Christ, we are made new. 2 Corinthians 5:17 reminds us of the change that comes when we are in Christ, our old self is washed away, and we are renewed. What does this Gospel transformation look like? Last week we kicked off our fall sermon series, Good News, looking at the goodness within the Gospel and how it impacts us. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is revelation that transforms, this change is from the inside out. When we receive salvation in Christ, we are brought to repentance because the Gospel reveals our sin and urges us to turn away from it. Jesus takes us on a journey to remove sin and shame and instill renewed faith, hope, and courage in Him. The Gospel reveals Christ and our destiny. Placing our faith and hope in Christ gives us the promise of spending eternity with Him. Tune in to the latest sermon of the series, The Transforming Gospel, and open your hearts to how Christ wants to change you.

Do you ever feel like someone or something is trying to grab your attention everywhere you turn? The headlines are filled with negativity and all the world's good things seem to get covered up. This fall we are beginning a new series titled, Good News, where we will turn to the book of Galatians to uncover the truth and goodness of the Gospel. This Sunday, we will discover how the gospel is unique. The gospel immerses itself into every aspect of our lives. Our God is personal, He desires to work and speak to us in specific and intentional ways. The Gospel provides hope to remind us that there is redemption for the evil of this world. The source of the Gospel, the heart of the Gospel, and the exclusivity of the Gospel are unique. Join us in the first sermon of the series, No Other Gospel, and be challenged as we are reminded of the hope that can only be found in Christ.

We live in a society infatuated with consumerism. Social media and brands are constantly creating new things and bringing to our attention something new that we need to feel fulfilled. We buy the latest gadgets, clothing items, and accessories, almost with the intent that the more we buy the more we will feel content. For the past month, we have been walking through our Metamorphosis series, tackling ways we can transform our lives. To wrap up our series, we are opening the book of Hebrews to discuss how we can find true contentment. Our culture is always trying to gain and get more as if there is this invisible ladder we are trying to climb, but when is enough truly enough for us? Scripture warns us that the love of money is the root of all evil. Finding true contentment means, we must love God more than we love money. We are called to renounce loving money, remember God's promise, and respond with confident faith. Join us in the final sermon of the series and be encouraged that we have everything we need to be content in Christ.
