Pastor Bill Bush · Jul 27, 2022
Drawing from Galatians 2, Pastor Bill argues that the root of Christian hypocrisy and spiritual collapse is always a corrupted belief about the gospel. Whether the distortion tilts toward legalism — rituals and rule-keeping making us right before God — or toward a worldly 'gospel' that demands endless cultural commentary while ignoring Scripture, the result is the same: fear, judgmentalism, and hypocrisy. Only the genuine gospel of Christ's grace and love, embraced by faith rather than earned by behavior, produces lasting transformation and frees believers to live and love like Jesus.
Pastor Daniel Goulding · Jul 18, 2022
In Galatians chapter 1, Pastor Daniel Goulding establishes that the gospel is the singular, unchanging message upon which all of Christian faith is built: that Jesus Christ died for our sins exactly as God the Father had always planned, rescuing us from an evil world we could never escape on our own. Because the gospel is received by faith and not earned by works, any attempt to add requirements to it — whether ancient Jewish law or modern cultural pressures — corrupts and destroys its power. Paul's fierce defense of this message calls every believer to know, guard, and live out the true gospel rather than drift toward the approval of people.
