The Freedom of Our Adoption - Galatians #8
What makes the Christian faith like no other? The good news of God’s grace is the bold claim that we are accepted by God not because we “follow the rules†or “fit the mold†but because Jesus gave his own life to rescue us. But many of us are still trying to earn God’s love with our performance rather than living in the freedom that Jesus has provided for us. In Galatians, Paul warns against the danger of religious systems that value people on grounds of accomplishment or status or cultural agreement. These things lock away our freedom in the futility of legalism, moral superiority and cultural arrogance. Focusing on either the racial/ethnic/cultural superiority or the moral successes of good works denies the gospel and divides Jesus’ followers. Join us as we explore how God offers us true freedom in Jesus and how the freedom of Christ transforms our hearts, our minds and lives.

Longings
Part 2. How the true nature of God is tied to everything we believe and how we see and experience God in everyday life. This series, based on big ideas from CS Lewis’ book of the same name, will deal with questions about the epic nature of God and his involvement in our lives. What difference does God’s three-in-oneness make to our lives and faith? Why should we believe Jesus’ claim that he was God? Why "the incarnation?" And what about Christ’s death on the cross? Faith in the true God makes our lives integral to his epic story.

How is a Christian Different
In a world filled with people serving themselves it can be hard to remember we are to serve Christ and find our identity in Him alone. We have to remember that we were the same as others, but now Christ has made us different.
