Law and Promise
Paul explains to the Galatians the relationship between Law and Promise, so they might understand the true purpose of the Law. We misuse the Law if we try to justify ourselves by it. It actually prepares us to receive the Promise by faith in Jesus Christ by revealing how disobedient we really are.

Peace is Just a Word
What does it take to BE LIKE JESUS? As Christians with the Holy Spirit living in us, we naturally want to be more like Christ. We want people to feel and see something different when they talk with us...we want them to want what we have...we want them to be drawn to Him. Over the next ten weeks, we will be studying the "Fruit of the Spirit" and why it can be the KEY for you in learning to be more like Christ. Galatians 5:22-23 (NIV)

Give Presence: Galatians 5.22-25
What if Christmas looked different this year? What if you could receive a gift that lasted forever? Or what if you could give gifts that did? We want to invite you to rethink Christmas with us this year and to experience it for what it was meant to be. On Sunday, November 30 Advent begins. For some this might be new. It was for me and my family a few years ago as well, but it is a season that my family and I have grown to love and enjoy. The word advent means to come. During the Advent season we celebrate God sending Jesus to earth wrapped in human skin. We also look with great anticipation to the second coming of Jesus, who is coming again for His Bride, the church. In Scripture Jesus testifies that He is the one who is and who was and who is to come (Revelation 1.8). This is what we will be celebrating this coming season. We will be celebrating Advent during our worship gatherings beginning November 30 culminating at our Christmas Eve service.

Leadership for the Long Haul
Saul’s first crisis in leadership comes when he is ready to go into battle but he has been told to wait at Gilgal until Samuel shows up to offer a sacrifice. This story shows us the tragedy that takes place when we doubt God’s word and head off on our own. We ultimately need a leader who will stand firm in crisis and trust God.

The Permanence of Love (1 Corinthians 13:8-13)
Love is the supreme manifestation of life in Christ because it is the mark of our existence, as the redeemed, in the eternal state.
