Are You Guilty As Charged
If you were on trial for being a follower of Christ, would you be found guilty? Would there even be enough evidence to arrest you?

Sharing Our Stories of Faith With Others--Galatians #6
How can we as a church better focus our lives toward those who are outside of the faith on a daily basis? First, we must ask good questions with genuine interest and concern. Next, we must learn to communicate our stories of faith more effectively. God will continue to use us to be a blessing in the lives of others as we sharpen those skills.

Living in the Realm of Grace - Galatians #5
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.

This sermon deals with one of the common objections to Christianity: The Church is Responsible for so much Injustice. Pastor Stephen gives reasons to conclude that the Christian faith is plausibile regardless of this objection.

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.

Fellowship of Joy: A Study in Philippians, 3:12-4:1
Here we have the interesting paradox that is Christianity. I believe the gospel teaches that there is nothing you can do to earn your salvation, or gain favor with God, yet we see Paul “Pressing†and “Straining†toward the goal. The enigma is relieved in part in verse 12, when Paul tells the Philippians that he has not already obtained the goal of “Knowing Christ†intimately, and being aligned perfectly with His will.

The Simple Gospel
Take a moment to listen to this message on the Gospel. Couched in a communion service message, I hope it is to the point and clear. What are the true issues of the gospel? Can we know for sure we have met the conditions? What is this faith requirement all about?
