We entered our 7th week of the “No Other Gospel” Book of Galatians Sermon Series, unpacking Galatians 5! Open your Bibles and follow along.

We continued our No Other Gospel Book of Galatians Series by closing out chapter 4 some expounding on our “wilderness” time we may find ourselves in. This time is not “aimless” but by divine appointment. Pastor Josh wants to make sure he holds true to the proper teaching of God's word, and in speaking and preaching can “slip up” because his brain has not caught up with his mouth. See below some notes corrections he wanted to point out:*At the 8:25 minute mark Pastor Josh was referencing Numbers 20:10. Moses did not enter the promise land because he did strike the rock twice RATHER than speaking to it as he was commanded. *At the 23:30 minute mark, Sarah waited 25 years to have Isaac after God said she would give birth to a child. Pastor Josh in error said 20 years. *At the 24:45 minute mark Pastor Josh in error said “Heavenly Father” being sinful when he meant to say “earthly father”.

Today we covered Galatians 4:8-20 as we continue our No Other Gospel Sermon Series. Open your Bibles and follow along!

Our second study in our adult Sunday School teaching series. This week we talked about Islam.

Pastor Josh switched up things to bring a personal message regarding personal struggles that has led to him having to evaluate where he is at today when it comes to his walk with God and how his time is being spent. He prays it is convicting and comforting for you.

We continue the theme and application of the message from 1st service. There is a lesson we need to learn though in the reach of Christ from Matthew 5:12-20.

In light of the truths we profess to believe as Christians, we should evaluate ourselves and see if our lives match up with the calling that we profess to have answered. Matthew 5:1-11 was the reading for our 1st service. Open your Bibles and follow along.

All of the Bible points us to Christ. The Bible defends itself and when you study on book, you will find yourself in another to learn more. We did trust today with The Book of Deuteronomy. Lots of scripture so get your Bibles open and have a pen and paper to write down and go read what is spoken about.

Elder Ron Evans preached through Luke 15 and spoke about the joy we are called to have for those who come to know the Lord. We should always rejoice when a sinner “comes home”!

Elder Ron Evan preached a sermon on the story of Zacchaeus, and how Christ went to where people are. Our calling is the same, to be in the world and not of it, and during our time on this side of eternity we are commanded to engage any and all with the Gospel message.

We took a break from the Romans Series to talk about the treasure and beauty about walking in fellowship with God. This relationship with Him should be our driver in looking like Him to the world. So often, we may think salvation is just about “avoiding hell”, and that is not the case or motive of the Christian. Prayers that the message is encouraging and edifying.

A brief over view of the significance and power of prayer and fasting. When we read through the Bible, prayer and fasting were not suggested, but implied because of our faith in Christ. How often do you pray? How often do you fast? We pray this sermon is edifying and encouraging.

Our day to day worries are a means to glorify God. Our day to day worries are also accompanied by day to day grace and mercy from God. No one goes through anything for nothing and without purpose. God works all things out…for our good and of course, HIS glory.

Today we talked about “grace”, and how our misunderstanding of the word leads us to live lives that do not honor God and heap burden on us. One day we will all face judgement, and that truth needs to be understand to completely grasp God's grace. The song we played at the end of service is at the following link: https://youtu.be/_SF9xrCtdgE?si=SOz7M7WeWXKGz_pS

Another political season is here and so many misunderstandings and bad theology are floating around churches in America. You cannot separate politics from the Church because politics are a worldly, manmade system that the Church will obviously have to interact with. The question is, do we realize and know what that interaction looks like? Today we unpack a reminder for us as the Church of our calling in this fallen world with fallen political systems and leaders. We cannot anoint and “baptize” political aspects and call them holy. The name of Christ is far greater than any political party and should never be used to promote it, but His name can be used as a guide in how to vote.
