This teaching argues that so-called “replacement theology” falsely claims the Church has supplanted Israel in God's redemptive plan, despite Scripture affirming Israel as the root from which Gentile believers are grafted (Revelation 5:5; Revelation 22:16; Romans 11:17–24), and it warns that redefining God through culture or general revelation undermines the gospel, since salvation comes only through hearing and believing the preached message of Christ (Romans 10:14–15; John 3:18), not merely through awareness of a creator (Romans 1:20); the speaker refutes the idea that Gentiles historically “knew God,” citing repeated biblical testimony that they were ignorant of Him and without hope apart from Christ (Galatians 4:8; 1 Corinthians 1:21; 1 John 3:1; Romans 1:28; 1 Thessalonians 4:5; Ephesians 2:12–13; 2 Thessalonians 1:8), and explains that Paul's sermon at Mars Hill did not affirm pagan knowledge of God but exposed their ignorance while calling them to repentance (Acts 17). You can connect with Moriel in more locations than just YouTube!

This is where Paul tells us what to put in place of the law. This is where he shows us how to live as people who have been set free….RISE RADIOEach week we discuss some of the most important issues we face in our society today.Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the showFollow and support me on Patreon.

This teaching through Galatians chapter six emphasizes how believers are to live out the gospel in community, calling mature Christians to gently restore those caught in sin while guarding their own hearts (Galatians 6:1–2), avoiding pride and self-deception (Galatians 6:3–5), and sharing generously with those who teach the Word (Galatians 6:6), all while remembering that God cannot be mocked and that we reap what we sow—either to the flesh or to the Spirit (Galatians 6:7–8); believers are exhorted not to grow weary in doing good (Galatians 6:9–10), to reject legalism and boasting in anything except the cross of Christ (Galatians 6:14), and to rest in the truth that what truly matters is being a new creation (Galatians 6:15; 2 Corinthians 5:17), with encouragement drawn from the wider witness of Scripture on truth spoken in love (Ephesians 4:15), avoiding false teachers (Romans 16:17), humility over pride (1 John 2:16; Proverbs 16:18; Proverbs 29:23; Proverbs 8:13), bearing burdens by casting them first on Christ (Matthew 11:28–30), serving through spiritual gifts (1 Corinthians 12:4; 1 Corinthians 14:12), persevering despite weariness (Isaiah 49:4; Revelation 22:12), and ultimately boasting only in Christ crucified as the heart of the gospel (1 Corinthians 2:1–2; Galatians 6:17–18; 2 Corinthians 11:23–28). 

Gentleness is not weakness! In God's Word and Truth it is strength under control...and that can take a lot of strength in difficult situations. We can only do this through Holy Spirit in us! Share. Make it a great day in the Love & Lordship of Christ (Galatians 5:23)!

Self-Control is actually moving in the power of The Holy Spirit in everything we do...it's actually Spirit-control exercised in our hearts, minds and bodies! Share. Make it a great day in the Love & Lordship of Christ (Galatians 5:23: 2 Timothy 1:7)! 

There is only one way to live above the Law and that is by the power of The Holy Spirit which we can only receive through salvation in Christ! Share. Make it a great day in the Love & Lordship of Christ (Galatians 5:23; Romans 13:10; James 2:12)!

March 1st, 2026 | No Other Gospel | Galatians 1:10-24In this powerful message from Galatians, Matt Darby reminds us that the Gospel is not man's idea—it is God's revelation. And when that Gospel truly comes into your life, it doesn't just inform you… it transforms you.The book of Galatians is an urgent warning: don't turn to a different gospel. As Paul defends his ministry against accusations of people-pleasing and watering down the truth, he does something deeply personal—he tells his story. Why? To prove two things:The Gospel he preached came directly from Jesus.The Gospel he received completely changed his life.In Galatians 1:10–24, Paul confronts the charge that he softened the message to gain popularity. But a man who was beaten, stoned, rejected, and scarred for Christ (Galatians 6:17) is not chasing applause. He is chasing faithfulness. Paul declares that he did not shape this message—it was revealed to him by Jesus Himself.Matt walks us through Paul's dramatic conversion in Acts of the Apostles (Acts 9), where Saul—the violent persecutor of Christians—was interrupted by the risen Christ. The one “breathing threats and murder” became the one boldly proclaiming, “Jesus is the Son of God.” That is amazing grace.Every testimony has three parts:Who I was before JesusHow I met JesusHow my life has changed since JesusPaul never got over what Christ had done for him. From Acts of the Apostles 22 and 26 to Philippians 3 and 1 Timothy 1, he kept telling the same story—not because he lacked new material, but because grace had rewritten his life.This message presses a personal question: Has Jesus ever interrupted your life? You can know the language of Christianity and still be unchanged. But when the Gospel truly comes from Jesus, it transforms your life into a testimony that points back to Him.God's grace is not for the polished parts of you. It's for the worst in you. The ashamed parts. The hidden parts. The rebellious parts. Grace does not respond to your goodness—it meets you in your weakness.And when that kind of grace finds you, you don't hide your story—you tell it.Do you have a testimony?Can you articulate it?Who needs to hear it this week?This episode is a call to return to the true Gospel—and to boldly share the story of how it changed you.Do you know JESUS? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbgilmer.org/do-you-know-jesus⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Need PRAYER? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbgilmer.org/pray⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support through GIVING: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbbctx.org/giving⁠

What are the two biggest issues that modern Jewish people typically have when it comes to accepting the Gospel? According to Dr. Brian Crawford, it narrows down to the Biblical teaching on the Trinity and the human incarnation of God made flesh. Brian is the director of digital evangelism for Chosen People Ministries. He is also the author of The Scandal of a Divine Messiah: A Response to Maimonidean and Kabbalistic Challenges to the Incarnation. Brian discusses the sensation of the increasingly popular replacement theory in modern American churches and why Jews tend to be remarkably secular, despite being God's chosen people. Brian urges Christians to cultivate a heart for sharing the Gospel with the Jewish community. He also points out that, according to Scripture, all believers are one and united in Christ (Galatians 3:28).TAKEAWAYSThe Jews are factually God's chosen people, even if this special status does not ultimately result in their salvationJewish people do not identify with the modern vernacular of the Christian churchJudaism today rejects the trinity and Jesus's deity, but this was not always the caseBrian lived for nine years within a Jewish orthodox community in Brooklyn, New York, and led many to the Lord

In this challenging Abounding Love episode, I conclude this series in the Gospel of Luke, expressing the need for a Heavenly vision and revelation of how God has resurrected us in Christ from the kingdom of darkness into the Kingdom of His dear Son of light and love [Colossians 1:13-14]. We're the Temple of God, redeemed, blessed and made righteous, as wise and obedient followers of Christ [Galatians 3:13-14]. The goal of this series is to inspire a desire in your heart for living in the Kingdom of God moment by moment, separated from the kingdom of darkness -- the world, the flesh and the Devil. We live in the world, but aren't to be entangled or conformed to the world [Romans 12:1-2]. Our relationship with God in the Spirit is to empower us to live above the world, by denying the power of the flesh to operate [Luke 9:23].  Living in the Spirit will become so desirable, that your devotion to God will become most important. The works of the flesh will dwindle as the fruit of the Spirit flow forth in love, peace, joy and patience. The weaknesses of the flesh won't have a chance, with the full armor of God put on from head to toe [Ephesians 6:10-18]. Join me as we cover chapters 20 through 24 in the Gospel of Luke. We'll start the Acts of the Apostles next week. Selah!

Readings: Isaiah 61:10-62:3 | Galatians 3:23-25; 4:4-7 | John 1:1-18 | Psalm 147:13-21. Preached for the First Sunday after Christmas Day (2025-12-28).

In this message, Pastor Andrew encourages believers to move beyond the commercialized hustle of the season and prioritize the true purpose of Christmas: focusing on the person of Christ. He distinguishes that while the holiday may be cultural, the miracle is biblical, reminding listeners that this is a powerful season to receive the miracle they need. The essential focus is the "spirit in Christmas," emphasizing that the Holy Spirit initiated the miracle of Jesus's birth, causing the Holy One to be born and called the Son of God, as the power of the Highest overshadowed Mary (Luke 1:35). The Holy Spirit also reveals who Jesus truly is, moving the devout Simeon to recognize the child as the Lord's Christ and the salvation prepared for all people (Luke 2:25-30). Ultimately, the Spirit's work makes it possible for us to be reunited to God the Father and be transformed from slaves into sons and heirs of God through Christ (Galatians 4:6-7). This Christmas season, we are challenged to seek "more Christ" and ensure that our hearts reflect the light and glory of the Savior of the world.

Join us this week as Caleb continues our series and preaches from Galatians chapter 2. This week we will discuss how the Finished Work of Christ and what that means in our lives today.

Episode 2.51Before the shipwrecks and prison letters, Paul was a man under suspicion.Not one of the Twelve. A former persecutor now claiming divine authority.In his earliest writings—Galatians and 1 Thessalonians—Paul defends his calling, clarifies his gospel, and opens his heart as a pastor.In this episode, Zach and Michael trace Paul's transformation from zealot to apostle, exploring how God turned an enemy of the church into its most tireless servant.Covered in this episode:– Galatians 1: Paul's authority “not from man, but from Christ”– Galatians 2: Standing alone for gospel truth—even against Peter– Galatians 4 & 6: The emotional cost of authentic ministry– 1 Thessalonians 2–3: A pastor's integrity and affection under fire– How authority, courage, compassion, and credibility shaped Paul's early ministryTakeaway:The early Paul isn't polished—he's passionate, bruised, and believable. His defense of apostleship shows what real ministry looks like when truth and tenderness meet.Find our videocast here: https://youtu.be/35TK3JEq5kQMerch here: https://take-2-podcast.printify.me/Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):⁠https://uppbeat.io/t/reakt-music/deep-stone⁠License code: 2QZOZ2YHZ5UTE7C8Find more Take 2 Theology content at http://www.take2theology.com

In this powerful message, Pastor Tommy Hodges walks us through one of the most practical and transformative chapters in the New Testament, Romans 12. After spending eleven chapters explaining the mercy and grace of God, Paul shifts gears with the word “Therefore…” calling believers to live differently because of what Christ has already done for us.

“Helper” in Genesis 2:18 isn't a downgrade—it's ezer kenegdo: a powerful ally corresponding to.

The Galatian church was made up of new believers that Judaizers sought to lead astray with a false gospel of Works. Paul's letter reminds them that salvation is by faith in Christ (not by our works). The New Covenant in Christ means freedom and unity as the Holy Spirit writes the Law of God on our hearts.

We reflected on God's glory, the exclusivity of His Son, and the necessity of relying on Him rather than ourselves. Fellowship was emphasized as deeply personal and initiated by God, with the cross of Christ at the center of all glorying. We discussed how God's love shapes growth, humility, and dependence, while His role as our adversary works against the flesh to bring us into deeper fellowship. The importance of humility and Christ-centered fellowship was highlighted, reminding us to avoid sentimentality and familiarity that distract from true intimacy with Christ. Testimonies reinforced the need for community and the danger of isolating from the body, while prayers were offered for families, health, and God's guidance.Themes:God's glory revealed through His Son (Romans 2; Isaiah 42:8; Isaiah 30:18)Reliance on God vs. self-reliance and hopelessness outside ChristFellowship initiated by God and centered on Christ (1 John 1:1–3)Glorying only in the cross of Christ (Galatians 6:14)Prayer as dependence and protection from the enemyGod's discipline and role as adversary against the flesh (Matthew 5:25; James 4:6)Humility as the key to receiving God's love and guidanceAvoiding sentimentality and compromise in fellowshipThe necessity of community in spiritual growth and resisting isolationGratitude for God's word and His provision of unity and protectionScripture References:Romans 2; Isaiah 42:8; Isaiah 30:18; 1 John 1:1–3; Galatians 6:14; Matthew 5:25; James 4:6

1.The Curse of Relying on Works for Justification (v.10-12) 2.The Blessing of Relying on the Work of Christ for Justification (v.13-14)

We gathered in prayer and shared on biblical principles of restoration, unity, and burden-bearing within the body of Christ. We reflected on Galatians 6:2, considering how humility and submission allow us to bear one another's burdens and fulfill the law of Christ. Together we explored how spiritual growth and intimacy flow from right order—our relationship with God, then marriage, then the local assembly. The conversation also touched on Daniel's faith as an example of humility and dependence, showing how God's sovereignty works in the midst of human limitations. We emphasized that restoration is both personal and corporate, requiring us to be teachable, willing to receive comfort from others, and committed to walking in the Spirit. We concluded with prayer requests, reflections on sanctification as an ongoing process, and plans for fellowship, including an upcoming men's trip.

Text: Genesis 15   Abram Believes the Truth of God's Promise (Gen. 15:1-6) God comes to Abram through His revealed Word. God reveals Himself as both deliverer and provider to dispel Abram's doubts and fears. Abram believes in God's Word and is justified by faith, giving us the Gospel pattern for belief.   God Guarantees the Fulfillment of His Covenant (Gen. 15:7-21) God's covenant guarantees land and blessing for God's people by His eternal character. God's people will be afflicted sojourners, but He will remain faithful to them as their deliverer and provider. Abram's offspring extends to all who are in Christ (Galatians 3:27-29).

Tune into this powerful message from Pastor Rachel as she introduces Jesus the Redeemer, reminding us that greater is He that is in us than He that is in the world. Drawing from Psalm 103, Pastor Rachel encourages us to explode with praise and not forget God's benefits, specifically that He redeems our life from destruction. Discover the profound meaning of redemption: to buy back, set free, and rescue, as exemplified by the story of the little boy and his sailboat. This episode highlights three predominant things Jesus did as our Redeemer: He paid your sin debt, overcoming the wages of sin which is death, offering eternal life (Romans 6:23); He delivered you from the power of sin, stripping spiritual rulers and powers of their authority and enabling you to push back against evil (Colossians 2:15); and He transferred your position from slave to son, making you an heir of God through Christ (Galatians). Learn to reject the slave mentality of fear and worry, push back against imaginary problems, and understand that you are an overcomer. Pastor Rachel emphasizes the vital importance of the blood of Jesus in setting and keeping us free, and how the oil of the Holy Spirit helps us overcome what we cannot on our own. Embrace the call to be a believer, not a beggar, and step into the abundant life God has for you by walking in faith.

Season 4, Episode 13 | Chad and Tyler Smith  discuss Galatians 5:1–15, focusing on the freedom we have in Christ and the danger of falling back into legalism. They talk about spiritual disciplines like Bible reading, prayer, and community, while reflecting on the heart behind those practices—whether they're done out of love for God or simply to "check boxes."

Season 4, Episode 6 | Chad and Marshall reflect on Galatians 2:15–21, emphasizing that justification before God comes through faith in Christ, not by works. They unpack the meaning of being “crucified with Christ” and warn against using religious practices to elevate oneself or earn God's favor.
