Does freedom in Christ mean there are no rules? Paul says we were called to freedom, but that freedom is for loving our neighbor. Galatians 5 and Romans 14 show what to do with the gray areas where Christians disagree.
Abraham got tired of waiting on God's promise and took matters into his own hands. The result was Ishmael, and a household full of contempt. Galatians 4:21-31 asks which son we are living like: the one born of our own effort, or the one born of promise?
A light switch that isn't wired to anything never turns anything on, so why do we keep flipping it? Galatians 4:8-20 asks why we keep going back to what has never worked, when we have been known by God.
A judge acquits you and moves on to the next case. A father adopts you. Galatians 3:26-4:7 asks what it means to be an heir, and what is being held for us that will never perish, spoil, or fade.
What does true worship look like and how do we know when we've drifted into worship God never asked for? Steve walks through real biblical examples of both acceptable and unacceptable worship, showing that worship was never meant to be a Sunday-only event, but a whole-life response to who God is.
Steve looks at what Paul means by 'godliness with contentment is great gain' and asks whether we're content where God has us: at home, at work and at church. A practical message on why circumstances can't fix a discontented heart, what contentment looks like for a person and a church, and four ways to keep it.
Steve picks up where last week left off: you've found someone to disciple, now what? A practical look at what a disciple actually is, how to find someone to grow with, what discipleship looks like (explore, establish, equip, extend), and why the Great Commission is a command we can't set aside.
Steve walks through what the law was actually for, lays out the gospel in six verses (the Romans Road), and asks the real question that follows: now what? A practical look at discipleship, finding your Paul, being someone's Timothy, and why sharing your testimony might be the easiest hard thing you do this week.
From Galatians 3:1-6, Steve unpacks why faith and not works is what saves us, why justification is instant while sanctification is a lifelong process, and what real freedom in Christ looks like. A practical look at telling the Holy Spirit's conviction apart from the enemy's condemnation, and what to do the moment you fail.
Paul confirms his gospel with the apostles in Jerusalem, then confronts Peter face-to-face in Antioch after Peter withdraws from Gentile believers under pressure. From Galatians 2:6–21: guard the gospel's purity, share it in the way that's uniquely yours, and hold onto the freedom Christ gives, a true believer never turns back.
