Throughout much of the 19th and 20th centuries, Christian conversions were quantified by one-time decisions. But are one-time decisions to follow Christ an accurate qualification for justification? Isaac Bronkema discussed this idea at niteLIFE continuing our series in Galatians titled, No Other Gospel. Listen to Isaac recall his sermon as he and Tate Radaz chat about Galatians 4:8-20.
We have a God who demonstrates His love for us as a father does to his children. Yet, we can deny God’s fatherhood and thus deny the wonderful blessings that come from being a part of His family. What are the consequences of this rejection, and what are the blessings of being a child of God? Follow along with Tate Radaz as he explores these ideas continuing our series Galatians titled, No Other Gospel, recorded at niteLIFE on Sunday, November 24.
If we have been saved by grace alone through faith alone in Jesus, then what is the point of God’s Law? The process of sanctification is important in the Christian walk because true faith will breed a desire to please God with our words, deeds, and thoughts. By the Spirit’s work in us, we can strive to look more like Christ when we follow God’s Law. Follow along with Stu Quackenbush as he dives into this thought continuing our series through Galatians titled, No Other Gospel, recorded at niteLIFE on Sunday, November 17.
The passion of the Christian life should be to dwell in the presence of God, but too often we believe its centrality rests in our performance. As a result, our views on things like reading the bible, going to church, sharing the gospel, prayer, and repentance become ways to earn favor with God rather than to meet with Him and be changed by Him. Follow along with Steve High as he talks on this idea continuing our series through Galatians titled, No Other Gospel, recorded at niteLIFE on Sunday, November 3 .
One can know the reality of Jesus Christ without putting their faith in Jesus Christ; it is though we tell other people that Jesus saves sinners while we ourselves are trusting in our own works. Because of our justification in Jesus, following the Law becomes an opportunity to move towards the God of our salvation in obedience and gratitude. Follow along with Isaac as he talks about these truths in the fourth part of series through Galatians title No Other Gospel recorded at niteLIFE on Sunday, October 20.
God created us with the desire to be seen as significant (valuable, important, loved, etc.) and secure (safe, assured, comforted, etc.) so that we turn to Him. But in our sin, we can fall into the trap of thinking other people fulfill those needs perfectly. Follow along with Stu in the third part of our series, No Other Gospel, with a sermon titled Choosing God Over People recorded at niteLIFE on Sunday, October 13.
There seem to be three movements in the text from Galatians 1:11-2:14. First, the gospel is authoritative. Second, the gospel gives new life and leads us to bring life. And third, the gospel gives us reason to open our mouths. Follow along by listening to Tate explain these concepts from niteLIFE on Sunday, September 29.
Paul begins his letter to the Galatians with intensity. This is because he understands what is at stake: a false gospel is no gospel at all (v.7). We are to join Paul in being a people who treasure the gospel so much that when we see ourself or others turning to a distortion of the true gospel, the overflow of our hearts is a plea to return to the true gospel of faith in Christ alone for salvation.
We are more sinful and flawed than we ever dared to believe, yet more loved and accepted in Jesus than we ever dared hope. What does God’s Word have to say about turning this hope into action? Follow along with us by listening to this recording from Sunday, September 15 at our first niteLIFE of Fall 2019.
