The weekly teaching of Philip Bassham and the pastoral team of Discovery Church in Gahanna, OH.
In the opening chapter of Galatians, Paul urgently defends the true gospel of grace against false teachings that add rules and works to salvation. This message will explore who Paul is, why he wrote the letter, and why the gospel is good news we can't afford to distort. We'll learn that real freedom is found not in trying harder, but in trusting Jesus completely—because what He did on the cross is enough.
What does it really mean to lead others? In this powerful message, Lead with Your Life, we explore how true leadership isn't about titles or talent — it's about example. Drawing inspiration from a pivotal moment in Top Gun: Maverick, where Maverick steps up to show what's possible instead of just saying itJoin us as we unpack what it looks like to live out your faith in a way that speaks louder than words. Whether you're a student, a parent, a leader, or just someone trying to follow Jesus in everyday life — this message will challenge and encourage you to lead from the inside out.
It's a gift that Jesus welcomes us, even in our imperfections. The deeper someone understands their own struggles, the more they recognize the transformative power of grace. "The more you realize the seriousness of your hopeless condition... that's when you'll have great love."
Pastor Philip's messages dives into the pivotal Spider-Man: Homecoming scene where Peter is trapped under rubble and must decide if he can still be a hero without his high-tech suit. It challenges us to ask the same question: Who are you when everything external—titles, roles, reputation—is stripped away? Using James 1:17, we're reminded that every good and perfect gift comes from God, not from what we wear or what others see. And in 2 Timothy 1:7, we're reminded that God gives us power, love, and self-discipline—not fear.
In The Fellowship of the Ring, Gandalf reminds Frodo, “All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.”This week, Eric Bryant challenges us to use our time well—to live fruitful lives by joining God's mission and helping build His Kingdom.You're invited to be part of something bigger. Let's step into the story together.
