Because salvation is accomplished by Christ rather than earned through human effort, believers are transformed by the Holy Spirit to bear spiritual fruit, do good, and boast only in the cross of Christ. This is how true freedom is experienced.

The way to be right with God is through faith in Christ. Followers of Christ will not abuse their Christian liberty as license to sin. Jesus' followers know God's love, love God and love and serve others. Today, we'll discover the value of serving God by serving others.

The gospel of grace and the law of legalism cannot coexist. Paul makes an appeal to the Galatian believers that is aimed both at the heart (feeling) and the head (logic). Let's discover how we experience the grace of God that Paul is teaching about.

When we seek acceptance from God through performance-based religion, it results in bondage, but through the Gospel we are adopted by our Heavenly Father on the basis of Christ's righteousness. The result is sonship and heavenly inheritance, which frees us to glorify God through our experienced adoption.

The New Covenant of grace is superior to the Old Covenant of law. It is a better promise, better purpose and better blessings. Let's discover the answer to the question, “How do people receive God's blessing?”

The widely accepted worldview ingrains performance-based thinking from the time we are young. We are told that good behavior and hard work yield rewards, which provide feelings of accomplishment and superiority. However, this is opposed to God's economy of grace. Faith in Jesus grants redemption, the gift of the Spirit, and unity with all who believe. Let's explore how faith in Jesus provides freedom.

D. James Kennedy published "Evangelism Explosion" in 1962 as a resource for God's people toengage in personal evangelism. Therein he poses two primary questions paraphrased below:1. Are you certain that if you died today you would go to heaven?2.

Trust is the foundation of all relationships. However, in a culture where there is growing mistrust of politicians, institutions, media, and people there is a likely sense of fear, apprehension, looming disappointment or fear of pain associated with the vulnerability required to trust.

There is in the heart of man a yearning for freedom. We resist arbitrary and abusive authority; and there is a tendency in our culture to desire independence. Ironically, the pursuit of freedom from God enslaves to values that don't satisfy. What we really need is freedom in Christ. We need to discover the grace of God in the gospel that frees us through Christ from the world's influence, liberalism and legalism, and frees us from the penalty, power, and ultimately presence of sin. So that you can be free to experience contentment in Christ (rest for your soul).

As Genesis 50 closes the narrative arc of Joseph's life, we observe three factors that can be potentially destabilizing in life: grief (at Jacob's burial), fear (as the brothers face Joseph), and death (as Joseph's life ends). However, Jacob and Joseph's hope in God to fulfill His promises remind us that we can be assured of His faithfulness: that He remains faithful, judges rightly, and gives us hope for the future.We upload our message only version to our church app. If you would like to view this week's entire worship service you can find it by clicking the available link.

In Genesis 49 God speaks a final blessing through Jacob to his 12 sons. In this blessing, we see that God's grace is greater than our failures, God's plan is greater than our present challenges, and both are demonstrated by His promises. God is trustworthy.

Jacob and his clan had left the land of promise and were now settled in Egypt. God foretold that the family would remain in Egypt for 400 years. Will the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob ever redeem the promised land? Jacob's blessing upon his sons and grandsons shows his unwavering faith in God's promises. Jacob learned to trust God, and today we are encouraged to do likewise.

Genesis 46 shows God bringing His people back together, restoring what sin and brokenness had fractured. He restores faith, reunites family, and reassures the future. This points to Jesus, who reunites us with God, restores our faith and gives us hope for eternity.

Epic tales of redemption and revenge, like the Count of Monte Cristo, Shawshank Redemption (a Stephen King short story) and of course The Princess Bride resonates with us, because God hardwired humanity towards redemptive narratives. The Bible is a meta narrative of God's redemption and restoration of humanity after the fall in Eden. Here, we see a picture of that redemptive plan in the account of Joseph and his brothers.

Genesis 44 shows us a clear picture of God's transformative power in the lives of Joseph's brothers - especially Judah. As we examine our hearts, we quickly see how selfishness, pride, and other sin is far too prevalent, which ultimately leave us empty and unfulfilled. As we grow as followers of Jesus, our hearts are transformed to become more like His, and it is this transformation that provides true fulfillment.
