Most Christians fall into one of two traps: legalism, or apathy. What does a truly faithful life look like? Paul explains in Galatians 3:27
For weeks we've looked at the "constellation" of Paul's teaching on the law--one start at a time. Today we finish that constellation by seeing how the law functions as our chaperone... to bring us to Christ.
Paul interrupts his teaching on the Law to remind the Galatians that God is one. Find out how the Law reflects the oneness of God. Galatians 3:20
Even though the law can't save us, and we were slaves to the law in our sin, the Law was given for a good purpose. Find out that purpose. Gal. 3:19

What did Paul do after he got saved? His actions speak louder than words, and they provide a model for how we should exercise our faith. Galatians 1:16-24
What are you a slave to? Yes, you're a slave to something! Find out why true faith in God looks like choosing to please God in every facet of life. Gal. 1:10

Are you actually following what you claim your faith is in? Or are you living according to something other than what you first trusted in when you received God's grace. Gal. 1:6-7

How do we handle broken relationships? How do we deal with people who've wronged us? Joseph shows us the way. Genesis 49:28-50:15-20
We always have a tendency to make it about ourselves, don't we? Even in our walk with God, we think of it in terms of "our" walk. But believers need to be reminded that beginning to end, this is God's show. Genesis 48:1-22
Genealogies are boring... or so we think. Find out why the genealogy of the family of Israel holds massive implications for salvation, spiritual growth, and understanding the Bible. (Genesis 46:8-27)
When Joseph revealed himself to his brothers, they thought he was going to kill him. Instead, he provided for them. Find out why. Genesis 45:1-15
How do we respond to sin? By responding in kind or by humbling ourselves? Judah and Joseph show us by example. Genesis 43:16-45:1
God saves through substitution. He provided a substitute to Adam, then, Abraham, and now to Israel... all part of His plan to provide the great Substitute for us. Gen. 42:36-43:15
There are always consequences of sin--even if years in advance--even for people who were never involved. Find out why. Gen. 42:1-28
How God's people respond to blessings is as important as how they respond to suffering. See how Joseph remained faithful to God even in the midst of good things happening to him. Gen. 37-57

A low view of sex always involves a low view of people--and vice versa. Find out why. Gen. 38:1-10

Sometimes Christians want to avoid the "big" sins (adultery, crime, etc.) but lose focus on the "small" sins that can fester in the heart over long periods of time (arrogance, bitterness, manipulation). See how small ignored sins result in big problems. Gen. 37:1-11
There are certain parts of the Bible that seem less important than others. You know, the passages you skip that are full of long lists and confusing rules. Genesis 36 can seem that way. But, when understood in context of God's greater plan, no verse in Scripture is unimportant. It's all God-breathed. Gen. 35:22-36:42
It's sometimes easy to forget that Christianity is a religion about a King--not just a shepherd, not just a teacher, but a Ruler who will reign. Are you ready? Gen. 35:9-29
When Jacob left the Promised Land, it was by fear and not faith. Now that he's returning to the Promised Land, it's a different story. Are you a Christian that's living like you're leaving or going to God's Kingdom? Genesis 35:1-8
Anger or apathy... how do you respond to a sinful world? Christians tend to fall to one of two extremes. Find out why God wants us to reject apathy and anger towards sin and instead pursue love for the lost. Genesis 34:1-30
Salvation doesn't just bring redemption, it also brings reconciliation. Find out why Christianity means more than just forgiveness, but leads to restored relationships. Gen. 33:1-20

Everybody can relate to family dysfunction. Last Sunday we started a series in Genesis that looks at how God restored the world through a set messed up relatives. Gen. 12:1-9
There are two things you never want to talk about in church... speaking in tongues, and women in teaching roles. But those are exactly the two topics Paul addresses to the Corinthians. Why? Because both issues deal with the source of authority in churches. 1 Cor. 14:26-39
Have you ever known someone who was a bad gift giver? You know, the kind who give gifts that are more for them than for others? Did you know Christians do the same thing with their own spiritual gifts? Instead of using our talents for others, it's tempting to use church, worship, and ministry for ourselves. Is that you?
Let's admit it... church just isn't working the way we're used to. Ya livestream helps, but new research shows that even that is limited. But that's okay, because God called His Body to do more than just function. He called His Body to LIVE. 1 Corinthians 12:12-31
Spiritual gifts definitely have a way of dividing us... which is weird, since that's the exact opposite of the purpose of spiritual gifts. Click below and prepare to be surprised. 1 Cor. 12:1-11
Most of us have "taken" Communion. But Paul shows that it's more than something you take, it's something you apply to everything you do. 1 Corinthians 11:17-34.
Our world is currently consumed with the fight for equality. "BLM," #metoo, and other movements are pushing the world to avoid prejudice through distinctions of color, race, and ethnicity. But should distinctions in gender be erased like other physical distinctions? Find out why distinction in gender in thought and practice is not only biblical, but is a way to worship God. 1 Corinthians 11:2-16
It can be hard to know how to respond to difficult questions about entertainment, politics, and other life choices. Unfortunately, the Bible doesn't always have a perfect verse for every question on obedience.
But instead of becoming dominated with the debate of how Christians should live in gray areas, we must always default to the greatest commandment "Love God." Find out how. 1 Cor. 10:23-11:1
As we celebrate Independence Day, we look back on a time when America was even more divided than it is now, and listen to the words of Lincoln, "A house divided against itself cannot stand." Societies are divided because individuals are divided. Do you worship two masters? Is your heart "half slave" and "half free?"
Stephen came in this morning to preach in full backpacking gear. Find out why. 1 Corinthians 10:1-13.
You've heard it said, "The harder you work, the greater the reward." But for most of us, it's really the opposite "the greater the reward, the harder you'll work for it." What are you working hardest for in life? And how does God fit in? 1 Cor 9:24-27
The world is overwhelmed with differences right now, so what does it mean when Paul says that Christians should "be all things to all people?" Should Christians really conform to the world? Pastor Stephen talks about how Christians can stand for truth while loving those who disagree with them. 1 Corinthians 9:19-23.
There are three big "S's" that affects everyone at some point... sex, singleness, and separation. In a world trying to convince us how to feel about each one, the Apostle Paul makes it very clear in 1 Corinthians 7:1-16
The empty grave on Sunday morning is described as a joyous occasion, but for Mary, Peter, and John, it was a morning of hurt, confusion, and panic. But that's okay. Discover why your hurt does not disqualify you from a relationship with God.
We all use euphemisms. It makes life easier and helps us avoid uncomfortable situations. But there's one euphemism Christians use that they don't even realize. Moses' account of a cosmic showdown between good and evil shows why we need to trust God enough to believe that He causes all things, and not just "allows" them.
How do you react when God gives you challenges in life? Check out the true story of a man who thought there was an obstacle in his path, but found out it was God instead. Numbers: 22:1-35

Lots of people use the term "Christian," but what does the job description of a believer really look like? Paul tells us. 1 Cor. 4:1-13

(Hint: it's not good music and preaching). 1 Corinthians 2:1-5
Next week is the Super Bowl, which means COMMERCIALS. What kind of commercial would the Gospel have? Probably not what you think. Today we found out why the Gospel isn't something God's trying to sell you, it's something He's trying to do through you. I Cor. 1:18-31
