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.

It's All About Love
Would you say, my number one goal in life is to be happy? Or to be loved? Or my number one goal in life is to succeed at my career, or to get married and raise a family. If you haven’t ever thought it through, you need to think it through because your answer to that question is what I call your dominant life principle.

Love Is Sincere
Learning to run from what is evil and cling to what is good, which is the love of Jesus Christ. Our walk and our Relationship with God should be pure and we can only experience that if our love for God is pure.

Love Experiment!
Even with technology connecting people like never before, there has never before been a time when people have felt more disconnected and lonely. In fact, Iloneliness is a widespread epidemic in our churches… this one not excluded! We have been here as a church for 13 years and yet many of us really don’t know each another. Sadly, so much time, energy, and effort has been put into the quality of the Sunday service each week with little left over to invest in helping us have healthy, meaningful relationships with each other. Meaningful friendship is one of the deepest needs you and I have in our lives! We need people who understand us, relate to us, listen objectively to us, love us, encourage us, and pray for us… no matter what! Today, for the first time in our existence, we changed our service from the norm and devoted it entirely to fulilling the greatest commandment there is... loving God and loving each other!

No Longer Lost
We lose things all the time; our keys, a matching sock, a receipt etc, but what happens when we become lost. In this sermon, Paul reminds us that we all experience times in "the land of the lost;" times of Spiritual wandering plagued by doubts. But the God who made us reveals Himself in Scripture to be like a Father who chooses to love His children, even when we, like prodigal sons and daughters, choose to go our own way. In fact, God is more interested in a relationship with us than He is in being right.
