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.

Orphan Sunday
Have you ever considered your own adoption into Gods family? What does it mean? What's the significance? Given our own adoption as believers in Jesus, what should our response be to the 143 million orphans in the world or the 500,000 in US foster care system or the 4,000 in foster care in North Texas? Today we will consider such questions on this day, which is Orphan Sunday

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.

Galatians 3.6-9: Blessed to be a Blessing
Have you ever sat in traffic for a long time due to an accident or construction? You most likely have. The roadblock is usually due to some problem on the road that needs to be cleaned up or fixed. This week we look at Paul as he addresses a gigantic roadblock in the plan of God. God intended to bless the whole world through Abraham’s family, but Israel, the promise-bearers, were not only themselves failing, but getting in the way of the wider fulfillment. This is what is still continuing in Paul’s day and specifically in Galatia. Let’s be honest. We miss out on God’s blessings because we get in the way. We cause many roadblocks to the blessings of God due to trying to do things on our own. Paul writes to the Galatians concerning this problem and how God dealt with it. God is still faithful to His promises. The question is, will we trust Him?

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.
