Preparing for Advent
What a great joy to worship alongside our brothers and sisters of Nahnum Church. As we gather today we put our focus toward preparing our hearts for Advent, which begins November 30. May we worship Jesus fully, love all, spend less and give more this season as we seek to restore the scandel of Christmas in substituting compassion for consumption.

Galatians 5.13-21: Through Love Serve Others
Those who have been set free by Jesus have been called to freedom, but that freedom can be used for different things. Today in Paul’s letter to the Galatians he gives us the purpose of freedom and how we can enjoy the freedom that Christ has given freely to us.

Galatians 5.7-12: The Supremacy of Christ in Truth
Paul encourages the Galatians to live a life of obedience to the truth of God. They have been hindered from doing such by some false teachers. Paul in a most graphic manner wishes those hindering the Galatians to be rendered powerless. In this passage Paul takes us from the track and field arena, to the kitchen and to the movies with a closing scene that would cause the FCC and the MPAA to cringe. Paul's prayer is that truth with prevail in our life!

Galatians 5.1-6: Freedom
Freedom. What a word. It is tossed around much in these days. Many will exercise one of their rights that freedom brings in the coming days. But there is so much more to this word than what we experience in this country. Freedom. What a necessity. Do you know freedom? Do you enjoy it? This week Paul addresses this necessity in his letter to the Galatians.

Galatians 4.1-7: sonship
Are you a slave or a son? How do you see God? Do you see Him as your Father or as a hard task master? I pray today as we continue in the letter to the Galatians that we would see God as a loving Father who wants us to fully embrace son-ship.

1 Peter 5.1-4: Church Leadership
God longs for the church to be one. Unity is so crucial to the working and movement of the church. Highly connected to such unity is the leadership of the church. This week we will take a break from our current study in Galatians and look at the what, why and who of church leadership in the church. You will get to meet our elders (including our recently affirmed elders) and church staff in each service. We will also have a special prayer time for our church leaders

Galatians 3.15-25: Two Covenants and Jesus
Have you ever wondered why God gave the Law? What is its purpose? What is it good for? Can it give us life? Can it show us anything? This week we will answer these questions as we see the relation of the Abrahamic and Mosaic covenants. They are two good mountains iin God's landscape, but there is one mountain that stands as Everest. It is Christ. As we fix our eyes on Jesus today we will see God's plan for the Law and its relation to His promises as we continue our journey through Paul's writing to the churches in Galatia.

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.
