Send us a textDive into the profound simplicity of justification by faith alone through our exploration of Galatians 3:6-9. This rich discussion uncovers how righteousness works - not as something we achieve, but as something credited to our account when we believe God, just as Abraham did thousands of years ago.The conversation begins with a powerful premise: God wasn't trying to confuse anyone with His gospel. Instead, He gave us a wonderfully simple message that many unnecessarily complicate. We explore how Paul emphatically teaches that justification comes by faith alone - not by works of any kind, whether civil, moral, or ceremonial laws.What does it mean to be children of Abraham? We tackle this revolutionary concept that redefines spiritual lineage. True children of Abraham aren't determined by genetics or ritual circumcision, but by sharing Abraham's faith. This spiritual family transcends all physical barriers, allowing people from every nation to become part of God's covenant through faith alone.Perhaps most striking is the revelation that there has only ever been one gospel throughout history. Abraham was justified through faith in God's promise of a coming Messiah, while we look back to Christ's completed work - but the mechanism of salvation remains identical. Abraham participated in the new covenant by anticipation, justified by faith in the certainty of Christ's future atonement.Ready to embrace the beautiful simplicity of salvation by faith? Join us as we unpack how understanding justification by faith alone frees us from the impossible burden of self-righteousness and releases us into the joy of living by faith in Christ alone.Support the show

Send us a textThe question of who truly belongs to Abraham's family strikes at the very heart of Christian identity. In this provocative exploration of Galatians 3, we confront Paul's revolutionary declaration: "They which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham."This statement upends centuries of ethnic and religious assumptions. While many Jews in Jesus' time boasted "Abraham is our father," Paul boldly redefines family lines according to faith rather than flesh. The implications are staggering—God doesn't maintain exclusive relationships with any people group based on ethnicity, geography, or heritage. His only concern is with those who share Abraham's faith.We examine why Paul called the Galatians "foolish" for being "bewitched" into adding works to the gospel of grace. The seductive pull toward law-keeping continues today among Christians who believe Torah observance draws them closer to God. Paul's response is unequivocal: attempting to mix works with grace doesn't enhance salvation; it contaminates it entirely.The ancient shadows of sacrifice, circumcision, and temple ritual were never meant to stand alone. They pointed to their substance—Christ himself. When Jesus declared at Passover, "Do this in remembrance of me," he connected the dots between shadow and substance, revealing himself as the fulfillment of all Old Testament types.This teaching remains controversial precisely because it's so radical. It explains why those clinging to ethnic or religious exclusivity—whether ancient Jews or modern dispensationalists—find Paul's gospel offensive. By declaring faith alone as the pathway to becoming Abraham's children, he dismantles every human attempt to establish special standing with God through lineage, geography, or law-keeping efforts.Want to understand why grace and faith stand at the center of authentic Christianity? Listen as we unpack this profound truth that continues to challenge and transform those who embrace it.Support the show

Send us a textHave you ever considered that the Greek word for "witness" in Scripture literally means "martyr"? This revelation frames our entire understanding of what it means to follow Christ.Modern Christianity, particularly in the West, has developed a dangerous aversion to suffering. Many believers embrace a false narrative that God intends to extract His people from worldly trials rather than empower them through difficulties. This escapist theology directly contradicts Scripture's consistent message: "Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all."We explore how comfortable American Christians often have no concept of true lordship or martyrdom. Having never lived under monarchy or oppression, we've crafted a version of faith that demands little sacrifice and promises much comfort. Meanwhile, our brothers and sisters in places like the Democratic Republic of Congo face deadly persecution, with dozens recently martyred for their faith.The discussion challenges believers to reconsider how they use their platforms. Everything in this world belongs to God and can be deployed for His glory - including social media. Rather than condemning these spaces or using them inappropriately, Christians should leverage every available channel to spread truth.Perhaps most powerfully, we examine the true meaning of Christian fellowship. Through Galatians 3, we see that all believers are spiritual siblings - children of Abraham through faith. This reality should transform our disagreements from relationship-ending conflicts into opportunities for iron to sharpen iron.The central hope that empowers us through suffering remains the resurrection - our confidence that whatever happens to our physical bodies, we will be raised again in glory. This perspective allows us to face trials with courage rather than seeking escape routes.Will you stand in the gap as giants of faith like R.C. Sproul and others go to their reward? The call is clear: stop seeking comfort and start embracing your identity as a witness willing to suffer for truth.Support the show

Send us a textWhat happens when allegiance to political figures outshines our devotion to Christ? This provocative exploration of Christian unity challenges us to reconsider where our true loyalties lie.The conversation opens with a stark observation: many Christians today show more passionate allegiance to political leaders than to Christ Himself. Relationships between believers are severed over political differences while our eternal bonds through Christ are forgotten. As one speaker asks, "Why aren't Christians that rabid when it comes to the one who saved them?"Diving into Galatians 3:8, we discover the beautiful continuity of God's plan throughout history. From Abraham to present day, salvation has always come through the same gospel of faith. This scripture, described as "a masterpiece," reveals how God intended from the beginning to justify people from all nations through faith in Christ. As Abraham became "father of many nations," we see God's heart for a diverse family united through belief.The discussion takes an illuminating turn when addressing commonly misunderstood concepts like the "mark of the beast." Rather than physical interpretations, the speakers present a deeper spiritual understanding – how our thoughts (forehead) and actions (hands) demonstrate whom we truly worship. Similarly, believers are sealed by the Holy Spirit, marking divine ownership.What makes any nation truly "great"? Not economic power or military might, but the freedom to worship God without hindrance. As we navigate divisive times, remember: we are "inextricably linked to one another. Eternally." Our spiritual connections transcend all earthly divisions.Ready to strengthen your faith perspective?

Send us a textAbraham's faith came before circumcision, before the Jewish identity was established—a critical insight that reshapes how we understand salvation. This revelation forms the foundation of our discussion as we explore what it truly means to be justified by faith alone.We dive into the radical nature of God's grace, examining why humans persistently try to insert themselves into the salvation equation. "What part of 'not of yourself' do people not understand?" one participant challenges, highlighting our natural resistance to accepting salvation as entirely God's work. This tendency traces back to our fallen nature—the desire to "be like God" that began in Eden.The metaphor of sheep and goats provides a powerful illustration of divine election. Christ's sheep hear his voice and follow him not because they've made a wise decision, but because they belong to him. As one speaker notes, "Not a single soul that the Father gave to Christ will He fail to bring home." This truth offers profound security while acknowledging God's sovereignty in salvation.Perhaps most sobering is our examination of Christ's words, "I never knew you." These may be the most terrifying words anyone could hear, revealing that salvation isn't primarily about our knowledge of God but about being known by Him. Those truly saved are those Christ has always known as His own.We conclude with the beautiful doctrine of justification—how Christ's perfect obedience is credited to believers. Through faith, we receive his righteousness as if it were our own. Like Abraham, who trusted God despite seemingly impossible circumstances, we're called to a faith that looks beyond present limitations to the God who always fulfills His promises.Ready to deepen your understanding of salvation by grace through faith?

God had a plan for Abraham, but it took some time before he was where he was meant to be.

Subject: What about Abraham Part 2 Speaker or Performer: R.G. Murray Scripture Passage(s): Romana 4:9-15 Date of Delivery: April 6, 2025

Pastor Jason closes our series on Abraham with Genesis 22, and we see his obedience and sacrifice to the Lord along with how the Lord provided.

There's a lot we can learn from the life of Abraham. Some of what is recorded is good...and some bad. But God's grace is more than enough to cover his and our mistakes.

On our Commitment Sunday for Lift Up The Gates, Pastor Jason reads from Genesis 13 and we see how Abram prioritized the provider over the provision itself.

Pastor Jason reads from Genesis 12 and we see Abraham's failures when he responds in fear rather than faith, and we hear a testimony of God's goodness and responding in faith.

Pastor Zellner continues the conversation about the importance of God's Covenant with Abraham. Specifically, Pastor Zellner focuses on the Covenantal sign of Circumcision, what it signifies, how it relates to Baptism, and more!
