Galatians 3:15-20

Garth Heckman The David Alliance TDAgiantSlayer@Gmail.com      A. Twelve disciples chosen and commissioned. 1. (Matthew 10:1-4) The twelve disciples are listed. And when He had called His twelve disciples to Him, He gave them power over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease. Now the names of the twelve apostles are these: first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus; Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed Him. a. When He had called His twelve disciples to Him: The main feature of this list is its diversity. Jesus chose His disciples from a variety of backgrounds and life experiences. About all they had in common was it seems that none of them were privileged or from backgrounds of high status. This is very much in the spirit of 1 Corinthians 1:26-29. b. He gave them power over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease: Jesus did not only call the twelve; He also gave them power to do what He had called them to do. The same principle holds true today: whom God calls, God equips. The equipping may not be completely evident before the ministry begins, but it will be evident along the way. c. Now the names of the twelve apostles are these: These twelve (excepting Judas, of course), have an important place in God's plan of redemption, including some particular role in the future judgment (Matthew 19:28), and in the founding of the church (Ephesians 2:20). The Bible promises that their position and work will be remembered through eternity (Revelation 21:14). i. This is the first and only time in Matthew that the twelve are called apostles. “The word apostle literally means one who is sent out; it is the word for an envoy or an ambassador.” (Barclay) “Called here for the first and last time apostoloi, with reference at once to the immediate minor mission and to the later great one.” (Bruce) The word apostle can mean a mere messenger, as in John 13:16, referring to he who is sent. Jesus is called an apostle in Hebrews 3:1: consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession. Paul sometimes used the word in the sense of messengers or representatives, as in 2 Corinthians 8:23: they are messengers [apostles] of the churches; possibly also in Romans 16:7. Yet Paul also used the term in a more narrow sense, referring to the Twelve and himself by special dispensation (1 Corinthians 9:1-5 and 15:7-10; Galatians 1:17 and 1:19 following).

In this episode, Pastor Cindy talks about living in the fullness of Christ. In the Old Testament, the presence of God was confined to the tabernacle. It had walls and boundaries and only a select people could even handle being in the full presence. The Holy Spirit hadn't been poured out for everyone to receive. But now, in this new covenant, we have been given the Holy Spirit. He now dwells in us. We are the walking tabernacles that host the presence of God. It's important for us to understand the power and authority we carry.  Scripture reference: Ephesians 4:11-13,  Hebrews 10:24-25, 1 Corinthians 3:16, Romans 8:9-11, 1 Corinthians 4:1-2, John 10:27-28, Colossians 1:27, Deut 29:29, 1 Corinthians 2, 1 Corinthians 12, Ephesians 4, Romans 12, Galatians 4, 2 Corinthians 3:17-18, Ephesians 3:14, Ephesians 1:23, Ephesians 3:19, Ephesians 4:13, Colossians 1:19, Colossians 2:9, John 1:16, 1 John 4:16, 2 Corinthians 5:14, John 15:9-10, Romans 5:5, 1 John 3:1-3.   Order your copy of Cindy's new book, NEW MOVES OF GOD Check out Cindy's TV show, CINDY STEWART LIVE.

This episode explores why your identity is the most important thing about you and how Scripture calls followers of Jesus to root who they are in Christ rather than in changing roles, emotions, or cultural labels. Drawing from social research, biblical theology, and real-life examples from law enforcement, ministry, and family, J. Warner Wallace exposes the lies that say you are what you do, what you desire, or what others say about you—and contrasts them with the unshakable identity offered "from above" in the gospel.​ You'll hear about the three main ways people form identity (outside-in, inside-out, and top-down), how trauma and life transitions reveal what you've really been trusting, and why only an identity in Christ can provide lasting stability and peace. By walking through key passages like John 3, Ezekiel 36, 2 Corinthians 5, and Galatians 2, this conversation will help you diagnose where your identity actually rests today and how to relocate it to the only foundation that will never shift.​ To go deeper on this subject, check out J. Warner's book The Truth in True Crime here: https://coldcasechristianity.com/the-truth-in-true-crime.

Galatians 3:10-14

Today’s Bible Verse: “A little yeast works through the whole batch of dough.” — Galatians 5:9 Galatians 5:9 uses a simple image to reveal a powerful truth: small influences have big impact. Paul warns that even a little false teaching or compromise can quietly shape the direction of our faith and lives. What seems minor at first can grow, spread, and affect everything.

Welcome to the Live for More Podcast. In this episode, Pastors Zach and Blake talk honestly about new year goals, spiritual habits, family worship, and the real danger of drifting from the gospel.As we step into a new year, many of us feel motivated to make changes — but good intentions alone won't keep us faithful. Scripture shows that even confident believers can fall away when their confidence is rooted in themselves instead of Christ.

Galatians 3:6-9

Is Christianity A Man-Made Religion? | Galatians 1:11-24 | The Conversion of St. Paul

CPXL Season 2 • Episode 3: The Abrahamic Covenant — God's Promise, God's People, God's Plan | Genesis 12, 15, 17After the scattering at Babel, God begins something new through one man and one family. In this episode of CPXL, we explore the Abrahamic Covenant—God's foundational promise that sets the trajectory for the entire biblical story.Walking through Genesis 12, 15, and 17, we see that God's covenant is entirely His initiative—grounded in faith, not performance. From Abram's call to trust without seeing the full picture, to God alone cutting the covenant, this conversation reveals God's heart to restore, bless, and redeem the nations.The episode also points forward to Jesus, the promised descendant through whom the blessing to all nations is fulfilled—showing how faith, not lineage, defines God's people.In This Episode:God's call to Abram and the meaning of covenantWhy faith is central to God's promisesHow the covenant expands in Genesis 15 and 17How Abraham's story points forward to JesusWhat it means to live as people of the covenant todayKey Scriptures:Genesis 12:1–3Genesis 15Genesis 17Galatians 3Romans 4As Genesis narrows from nations to one family, we're invited to see ourselves within God's unfolding covenant story—and to consider where He may be calling us to trust Him without seeing the full picture.About CPXLCPXL exists to equip and encourage Everyday Missionaries to Love God, Grow Up, Serve All, and Live Sent.

Jesus Followers Can Influence and Lead a Return to God by Our People, Churches, and Nation Through the “Five Exhortations” MESSAGE SUMMARY: In the Bible, you can find five exhortations, from the God, that are right on point for our times of uncertainty in America: 1) Do not fear; 2) Continue to tithe; 3) Get out of debt; 4) Help our brothers and sisters in need; and 5) Pray. The people in Malachi's day were withholding what was God's, and they were paying a price. But even in those conditions of the nation's sin and faithlessness, God said to the nation, in Malachi 3:7, “From the days of your fathers you have turned aside from my statutes and have not kept them. Return to me, and I will return to you, says the LORD of hosts. But you say, ‘How shall we return?'.”. God does not change – God today is the same faithful Creator of the Universe as He was in the time of Malachi. Return to God, both as individuals and as a nation; and see how God will bless us!   TODAY'S PRAYER: Forgive me, Father, for at times treating you as if you were my personal assistant or secretary. Your ways are unsearchable and beyond understanding. Help me to put my trust in you and not in my circumstances. In your presence, I am silenced. In Jesus' name, amen.          Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 87). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, because of I am filled with the Holy Spirit, I will not be controlled by my Compulsions. Rather, I will walk in the Spirit's fruit of Patience. “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” (Galatians 5:22f).

In this message from our Core Values series, we dive into two foundational pillars of who we are as Central Valley Church: Biblical Community and Family. What does it truly mean to belong to the Body of Christ? How is biblical community different from every other kind of community we experience in life? And why is it not optional—but essential—for every follower of Jesus? Using 1 Corinthians 12, we're reminded that every believer has value, purpose, and a place in the body. You matter. Your gifts matter. And we need each other to walk out God's will, find healing, carry burdens together, and grow in unity. The message also unpacks why family is one of God's primary ways of passing faith from generation to generation. God is for your marriage. He is for your children. He is for your legacy. No matter how broken or messy your story may feel, God is still writing redemption into your family line. Whether you're longing for deeper connection, feeling like you don't belong, or fighting for your family—this message is for you.

Daily Dose of Hope January 27, 2026   Scripture: I Corinthians 3   Prayer:  Almighty God, Search our hearts today.  Show us those places that we need to change.  Show us where we aren't fully devoted to you and your Kingdom.  Lord, we need your wisdom and guidance.  On our own, we falter and drift.  Lord, we want to know you more.  We want to be a living example of your love and holiness.  Help us, Jesus.  Amen.   Welcome to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope daily Bible reading plan.  We are currently journeying through Paul's pastoral letters, chronologically.  Thus far, we have read through Galatians, I Thessalonians, and II Thessalonians.  We are currently in I Corinthians.    Today's reading was I Corinthians 3. Paul continues to have harsh words for the Christ-followers at Corinth. They think they live by the Spirit, but Paul tells them they actually are still living by worldly standards. He had to teach them like babies in the faith; they lack maturity. They are drinking milk rather than being able to eat solid food.  One example of this is their view of Christian leadership. They see leadership as focusing on an individual, that person having a following, pitting one person again another. In a sense, they view Christian leadership as a popularity contest. Paul makes the case that there are no individual superstars in Christian leadership. Different people have different tasks at different times. Some people plant, some people water, and others harvest. One task is not better or more important than another. They are all necessary for expanding God's Kingdom. My own experience is that Christian leadership has to be rooted in humility. The way our churches are structured doesn't always lend itself to this so we have to be very, very intentional.  I know I have to very, very intentional.  Ministry isn't about me as a pastor, it's always about Jesus and what he desires for his church. Jesus is of course our ultimate example of leadership. As a servant leader, he washed dirty feet, touched lepers, and ultimately gave up his life for those he led. No superstardom there, just a lot of rolling up sleeves, getting dirty, and experiencing sacrifice.   We find a beautiful example of Christian leadership in Philippians 2:5-8: In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death—even death on a cross.   Blessings, Pastor Vicki

Pastor Scott continues our springs series on the New Testament Book of Galatians!

A @Christadelphians Video:Why did Jesus have to die? In this thought-provoking Bible talk, we explore this foundational question. Many find the concept of the crucifixion disturbing or difficult to understand. We provide an insightful and expositional look into the Scriptures to reveal why Jesus' death was not a tragic failure, but a necessary and wonderful act of God's wisdom and power.Join us as we examine God's ultimate plan for the earth, the universal problem of sin, and how the death of Jesus provides the path to forgiveness and a new way of life. This outstanding presentation moves beyond common misconceptions to reveal the true, inspiring significance of the cross.*Chapters / Timestamps:*00:00 - Introduction: The Necessity of the Cross02:59 - God's Ultimate Plan for the Earth04:45 - The Universal Problem of Sin06:08 - God's Three Options for Dealing with Sin07:45 - The True Significance of Jesus' Death09:08 - Three Reasons Why Jesus Had to Die11:38 - Q&A: Why the Cross Specifically?14:11 - Q&A: The Curse of the Law15:44 - Q&A: Why Was a Sacrifice Necessary?17:34 - Q&A: The Personal Benefit & Baptism19:49 - Conclusion and Call to Action*Bible Verses Featured in This Presentation:*

Galatians 3:1-5

Hope for Right Now Podcast – Encore Episode 1: Philippians 1 There's an old Latin proverb that says, “Repetition is the mother of learning.” With that in mind, we are revisiting some of your favorite Hope for Right Now podcast episodes. Our prayer is that before you jump into the New Year you would take some time to look back, and reflect on the ways you've grown in your relationship with God. We will return on February 23, 2026, with a new series based on our brand new Lenten devotional, Desert Bloom: Discovering Unexpected Joy in the Wilderness. As women seeking joy but who often feel confined by our circumstances, this episode kicked off a series titled Grace and Glory, based on Saint Paul's letter to the Philippians, and boy, did it resonate! If you long for a life of joy that is not dependent on your current situation, this episode is definitely worth hitting replay! This is a special encore episode originally released in October 2025. Often called The Epistle of Joy, Saint Paul's letter overflows with rejoicing, gratitude, and encouragement—amazing, when you consider that Paul wrote it from a prison cell. As women seeking joy but who often feel confined by our circumstances, what was Saint Paul's secret? How do we rejoice in our suffering? How do we remain grateful when our situation is the opposite of what we were hoping for?  In this first episode of Grace and Glory, Lisa and Laura unpack Saint Paul's message and reveal how the same joy he wrote about can be yours—no matter what life throws your way. Open your Heart to our key Scripture. Philippians 1 Open your Bible to other Scriptures referenced in this episode. Romans 3:23: Since all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Luke 19:10: For the Son of man came to seek and to save the lost. Hebrews 12:14: Strive for peace with all men, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord. Acts 28:20: For this reason therefore I have asked to see you and speak with you, since it is because of the hope of Israel that I am bound with this chain. Colossians 4:3–4: And pray for us also, that God may open to us a door for the word, to declare the mystery of Christ, on account of which I am in prison, that I may make it clear, as I ought to speak. Colossians 4:18: Remember my chains. Ephesians 6:20: I am an ambassador in chains. 1 Peter 5:10–11: And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, establish, and strengthen you. To him be the dominion for ever and ever. Amen. Luke 7:47: Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much; but he who is forgiven a little, loves a little. Galatians 2:20: I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me; and the life I know live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. Invite Him in with this episode's questions for reflection. Are you feeling stuck in some way or feeling chained to some hard or painful circumstance in your life? Who is observing you in that situation? What are they learning from the way in which you are responding to your suffering? Is there someone you are called to preach the gospel to using the indescribable power of unconditional love? Who are you called to tempt to hope? Show mentions.

Playing favorites may feel like a phase we outgrow, but James confronts how deeply partiality still shapes our lives—and our faith. In James 2:1–13, we are warned that favoritism based on status, appearance, wealth, or ideology is incompatible with faith in Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory.This teaching by Pastor Aaron McRae exposes how easily we absorb the world's habits of ranking, judging, and dividing others, often without realizing it. James reminds us that true faith is not merely held—it is lived. Faith in Jesus must look like Jesus, expressed through mercy, humility, and love for neighbor without exception.Through Scripture, cultural insight, and practical application, this message calls believers to examine their hearts, reject unconscious bias, and live under the “royal law” of love. Ultimately, James leaves us with a defining vision for Christian living: mercy triumphs over judgment.James Study Journal – Weekly Scripture readings, reflection prompts, and space to apply the teaching personally or with a group - https://hillsidechurches.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/James2026_Journal_FINAL.pdf Discussion Guide – Designed for small groups, coffee groups, or families to process the message together - https://hillsidechurches.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Discussion-Guide-1.18.26.pdf Resources & Scripture ReferencesPrimary Text: James 2:1–13Supporting Scripture-Leviticus 19:15, 18-Genesis 1:27-Galatians 3:26–28-John 1:14-John 15:12–13-Exodus 33:18–19-Ephesians 3:17–19Referenced Authors-Douglas Moo, James-Scot McKnight, The Letter of James-N.T.

Mark the Summit | CLIMB Series — Week 4“Not that I have already obtained all this… but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.” — Philippians 3:12–14What if the reason you feel empty isn't because you failed… but because you reached the wrong summit?In Week 4 of the CLIMB series, Pastor CJ Witkoe challenges us to confront one of the deepest human struggles: giving everything we have to reach a goal, only to arrive and realize we still haven't arrived. Careers, success, influence, financial stability—even spiritual accomplishments—can feel like summits until we stand there and sense something is still missing.The problem isn't effort. The problem is direction.In this message, you'll discover: ⛰️ Why human achievement can never fully satisfy an eternal soul 

Have you ever heard well-meaning phrases that actually distorts the gospel? Galatians warns that adding even one false requirement can corrupt the message of grace. Join Jim Scudder on InGrace as he exposes common phrases that confuse salvation and shows why faith alone is what God requires.

Community // Week 2 // Ok...But How?Pastors JF and Ashley WilkersonProverbs 14:4 NASB4 Where no oxen are, the manger is clean, But much revenue comes by the strength of the ox.1. WHY? - Why engage in community even when people are messy?Answer: The POWERMatthew 18:12-14 NASB12 “What do you think? If any man has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go and search for the one that is straying? 13 If it turns out that he finds it, truly I say to you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine which have not gone astray. 14 So it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones perish."Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 NIV9 Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: 10 If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up. 11 Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone? 12 Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.1. WHY? - Why engage in community even when people are messy?Answer: The POWER2. HOW? How can I really walk in community when people are messy?Answer: The Biblical PROCESSMatthew 18:15-17 NASB15 “If your brother sins, go and show him his fault in private; if he listens to you, you have won your brother. 16 But if he does not listen to you, take one or two more with you, so that by the mouth of two or three witnesses every fact may be confirmed. 17 If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector.”Ephesians 4:14-15 NASB14 As a result, we are no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in deceitful scheming; 15 but speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, even Christ.James 5:16 NASB16 Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much.Matthew 18:18-20 NASB18 Truly I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven. 19 “Again I say to you, that if two of you agree on earth about anything that they may ask, it shall be done for them by My Father who is in heaven. 20 For where two or three have gathered together in My name, I am there in their midst.”1. WHY? - Why engage in community even when people are messy?Answer: The POWER2. HOW? How can I really walk in community when people are messy?Answer: The Biblical PROCESS.3. WHAT?  What is community all about if people are still messy?Answer: The PICTUREJohn 13:34-35 NIV34 “A new command I give you: Love one another.

Now it happened in the month of Chislev, in the twentieth year, as I was in Susa the citadel, 2 that Hanani, one of my brothers, came with certain men from Judah. And I asked them concerning the Jews who escaped, who had survived the exile, and concerning Jerusalem.   Nehemiah 1:3 And they said to me, “The remnant there in the province who had survived the exile is in great trouble and shame. The wall of Jerusalem is broken down, and its gates are destroyed by fire.”   Nehemiah 1:4 As soon as I heard these words I sat down and wept and mourned for days, and I continued fasting and praying before the God of heaven.   Psalm 19:1 The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.   Isaiah 42:8 I am the Lord; that is my name; my glory I give to no other, nor my praise to carved idols.   Nehemiah 1:5 And I said, “O LORD God of heaven, the great and awesome God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments,   Psalm 145:3 Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised, and his greatness is unsearchable.   Psalm 145:8 The Lord is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.   Psalm 145:18 The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.   Psalm 34:1 I will bless the Lord at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth.   Nehemiah 1:6-7 let your ear be attentive and your eyes open, to hear the prayer of your servant that I now pray before you day and night for the people of Israel your servants, confessing the sins of the people of Israel, which we have sinned against you. Even I and my father’s house have sinned. 7 We have acted very corruptly against you and have not kept the commandments, the statutes, and the rules that you commanded your servant Moses.   Isaiah 6:5 And I said: “Woe is me! For I am lost; for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts!”   Psalm 32:3-4 For when I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long. 4 For day and night your hand was heavy upon me; my strength was dried up as by the heat of summer.   Nehemiah 1:8-9 Remember the word that you commanded your servant Moses, saying, ‘If you are unfaithful, I will scatter you among the peoples, 9 but if you return to me and keep my commandments and do them, though your outcasts are in the uttermost parts of heaven, from there I will gather them and bring them to the place that I have chosen, to make my name dwell there.'   Jeremiah 29:11-14 For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. 12 Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. 13 You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart. 14 I will be found by you, declares the Lord, and I will restore your fortunes and gather you from all the nations and all the places where I have driven you, declares the Lord, and I will bring you back to the place from which I sent you into exile.   2 Chronicles 7:14 if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.   Isaiah 59:1-2 Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save, or his ear dull, that it cannot hear; 2 but your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God, and your sins have hidden his face from you so that he does not hear.   Nehemiah 1:10-11 They are your servants and your people, whom you have redeemed by your great power and by your strong hand. 11 O LORD, let your ear be attentive to the prayer of your servant, and to the prayer of your servants who delight to fear your name, and give success to your servant today, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man.” Now I was cupbearer to the king. Psalm 1:1-3 Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; 2 but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. 3 He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers. Psalm 85:6 Will you not revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you?

Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted. 2 Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.   Esther 4:14 For if you keep silent at this time, relief and deliverance will rise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father’s house will perish. And who knows whether you have not come to the kingdom for such a time as this?” Matthew 9:37-38 Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; 38 therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.” Respond | Connect | Next Steps The post Prayers for a New Year 5 appeared first on Charleston Baptist Church.

Galatians 2 shows us this simple truth: we start the Christian life by grace, and we keep living that way. We're free from trying to prove ourselves, secure in Christ, and moved by faith and love.

Gospel UnitySeries: Book of Galatians Speaker: Nick LauerSunday MorningDate: 25th January 2026Passage: Galatians 2:1-10

What would people think? This question cripples us more than we realize. Peter, the rock of the church and friend of Jesus, struggled with this same fear. When influential Jews arrived, he abandoned his Gentile brothers—worried about approval instead of walking in grace.Here's the truth: living in shame is just our attempt to pay for our own sin. But God has already declared you righteous through Christ. You are justified—just as if you'd never sinned. Grace is like the tide on a beach, constantly washing away our failures and giving us a clean canvas to start again.Today's challenge: Rely on Jesus a little more today than you did yesterday. Die to the fear of man and live in the approval of Christ. Because at the end of the day, His love and acceptance is all that truly matters."My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me." - Galatians 2:20

Have you ever believed God can… but struggled to trust that He will? Today's Living God's Way Devotional is an invitation into now faith — not surface-level faith, not outcome-based faith, but faith rooted in love and trust in who God is forming you into. These short Saturday devotionals are created with prayer to help draw you back to God, anchor you in truth, and remind you that you don't have to do life alone. You can do this with God. In this devotional, we talk about: What Scripture really means by now faith Why faith without love quietly becomes self-centered The difference between fear-driven faith and love-rooted faith How to trust God in the process, not just for the outcome What it looks like to believe God is working in who you're becoming, not just what you're praying for You'll be reminded that: Faith doesn't deny reality — it sees beyond it Faith doesn't wait for proof — it rests in devotion Faith rooted in love trusts God right now, not "someday" This episode is a pause — a moment to quiet your heart, release control, and choose trust even when the path feels unclear. Scriptures mentioned: Ephesians 3:20 Hebrews 11:1 1 Corinthians 13:2 Galatians 5:6 1 John 4:8 Matthew 9:29 If this devotional spoke to you, it reflects the same heart behind the Fit God's Way 30-Day Transformation — a faith-inspired path that helps you build godly habits so your life reflects who you are in Christ.

Why do we click instantly on videos about the Nephilim, Flat Earth, or politics, but lose attention when we hear the Gospel? We have been distracted. While some chase mysteries, a subtle deception has slipped in among believers unnoticed. In this video, we expose the "False Gospel" that is quietly leading many astray. We look at Paul's warning to the "Foolish Galatians" and reveal the single clearest symptom that someone might be believing a false gospel. It's time to stop boasting in our works and return to the only message that saves.

Galatians 2:17-21

President Trump being given the Nobel Peace Prize by the Venezuelan opposition leader creates the perfect moment to contrast the world's version of peace with God's. The guys argue that in moments of chaos—like what's unfolding in Minnesota—Christians are called to be the eye of the storm, not trapped in an Us vs. Them mindset. They connect true peace to faithfulness in parenting, marriage, and everyday relationships, reminding listeners that humility, responsibility, and forgiveness, not cultural wins, are what actually bring lasting peace.
