Can We Trust Him?
Often the lofty things we say about Christ and the faith ends as a nice idea but with no practical effect in the way we live. Paul tells the Colossians that the greatness of Christ can make a difference even in the worst of days.

Changed Identity: God changes a man by a message and sends on mission.
Paul comes writing to the Romans not showing his intellectual or Jewish credentials but simply the fact that his identity has been changed by the gospel of Jesus.

Boasting in Christ
The main problem with the church in Galatia is the main problem Christians and churches contend with today: “Is Jesus really all we need, or do we need something else in addition to him?” Often, Jesus is viewed as a starting point, and then we try to add extra things to the work He did to “save” us, and fall into the trap of a performance-driven religiosity, contrary to what the Bible teaches. In our final sermon studying the book of Galatians, we are reminded that when we add anything to Jesus, we lose Jesus.

Sowing to the Spirit
The farming principles of sowing (planting) and reaping (harvesting) happen to have spiritual applications as well. What we plant into our lives will eventually grow: either into sin, slavery, and death OR joy, freedom, and life. The first is classified as sowing to the flesh, while the latter can be classified as sowing to the Spirit. In this sermon we look at the different ways that we sow to the Spirit and the flesh, and what our ultimate hope is as people who are saved by Jesus.

A Spirit-Led Community
It is common in our culture for Christians to get frustrated with the church and feel they don't need community in order to grow spiritually and serve God. But, the Bible is very clear that we are meant to live, grow, and serve in community with other believers. God doesn't just call us all together to figure out how to live together on our own. He has given believers His Spirit and the church to lead us and empower us. In this sermon, we examine God's description of at what a community led by the Spirit looks like.

Our Poverty, His Promise
Believing God is hard, but Christians are called to do exactly this: to live a life of deep, persevering faith in His incredible promises. This is our only hope of abiding happiness and blessing, because God only blesses the work He does (though He often allows/uses us and others in this). We experience God's blessing when we believe His promises and act according to the work He has done, is doing, and will do.
