Living on Earth as Citizens of Heaven
Since we as Christians are sojourners and exiles on this earth, we need have different priorities. In today's sermon Elliot encourages us to be excellent in all things for the ever-watching "Gentiles" who surround us, and to do all as to please the heart of God.

Where to Start the Conversation
Combining religion and politics is something not to be treaded lightly upon. In today's sermon we go back to Psalm 46 for the way we as Christians should approach this year's, and ever other, election or drastic change of current events.

Galatians 3.10-14: Divine Curse and Blessing
How do you live your everyday life? Whose reliance are you leaning on through the activities or your day? What about when it comes to your job? What about your marriage? The answer reveals whether we live under the blessing of God or under the curse of God. Today we will look at what Paul says in the book of Galatians as he addresses the terror of that which brings divine curse and the comfort of that which brings one under divine blessing.

The Gospel in Action
Paul's letter to Philemon is a wonderful example of how we can apply the gospel to everyday problems. One of the applications we see in this letter relates to relationships, especially those that have conflict. There is a rift in the relationship between Philemon and his slave Onesimus. And Paul wants the two of them to be reconciled. And so he not only encourages reconciliation, he also explains how God empowers that reconciliation. And in doing so, he helps us see how God can empower reconciliation and forgiveness in our own relationships and how God gives us others to encourage us to live in the way God empowers us to live.

Gospel Identity: We Belong To Jesus (Galatians 5:16-26)

Labor Pains
Nicodemus was an esteemed religious figure, who took his spirituality seriously. Yet Jesus confronted him with the central truth of the Christian faith. "Ye Must Be Born Again." Jesus doesn't offer another set of rules or moral codes. He offers radical transformation.

Galatians 3.1-5: The Spirit of God
Sometimes Christians can be foolish. Let’s be honest it is true. Paul addresses the foolishness in the churches of Galatia longing for the spell to be broken. As we continue our study today of Galatians we venture into chapter three. We pray that the spirit of God would be awakened in your life.

Galatians 2.20: Identity
We live in a selfish age absorbed with self-esteem, self-improvement, self-fulfillment, and self-indulgence. It is all about what you want. Paul denounces such a mindset and life in one verse found in the book of Galatians. In this message we continue our study in the book of Galatians as we look into the issue of self and identity.
