In this powerful exploration of Galatians 6:11-18, we're reminded that nothing matters more than our relationship with Jesus Christ. The apostle Paul's passionate plea echoes through time, urging us to focus on what truly counts - not external rituals or appearances, but the transformative power of the cross. Pastor Derrick challenged us to examine our own lives: Are we relying on empty religious practices, or are we embracing the life-changing grace of God? The message reminds us that in Christ, we are new creations, freed from the burden of legalism and empowered to live authentically for Him. As we reflect on Paul's words, let's consider what marks of Jesus we bear in our own lives and how we can more fully embody the gospel of grace in our daily walk.

And today's topic is to avoid the dangerous traps that the world presents to us.We are in first John two and 15, and the Bible tells us not to love the world or the things in the world, because the things that are in the world are not of the father. Okay. And what are these things? What are the dangerous traps?They are the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life. We went over the lust of the flesh, and the way to overcome the flesh is by yielding to the spirit. We went over the lust of the eyes. That's the second trap.The lust of the eyes describes someone who's captivated by an outward show of material things. And the way to overcome the lust of the eyes. It is to renew your mind every day. And how do you know your mind is renewed? You know your mind is renewed when you have a high value of eternal things.
