The world is full of information and opinions. With so much access to ideas, it can become very confusing what is true and what is not. In this message, we will set the stage for our new teaching series by talking about how we can filter through the noise and figure out how to accept and communicate what is actually true and helpful.

Understanding the firepit effect should help us to see ourselves differently, but just as important is learning to see others differently. When we view them in the light of the same fire we view ourselves in, it alters both the way we view their struggles and how we help. In this message, we will talk about how to support each other properly in a way that brings life!

If salvation is by faith in Jesus, and not by keeping the rules, then is it possible that we could live however we want without any consequences? How are we supposed to know how to live if there isn’t a rulebook? These are big practical questions that Paul addresses for us as we continue to study his letter to the Galatian churches.

What do we do about people we don’t think deserve salvation? We are surrounded by people who are different than us in almost every way. However, we all have one thing in common… we can come to the firepit of faith regardless of our past or present. In this message, we will learn from Paul as he drives this point home.

There’s nothing quite like sitting around a firepit with good friends. Something special happens there that makes us feel united and fulfilled. In the church, we have the same dynamic, we call it “fellowship”. In this study of Galatians, we uncover the principles that make this fellowship work.

You can have life, real life, eternal life. It’s right at your fingertips and Jesus proved He can offer it. Though He was dead, He lives. His resurrection is proof positive that He can deliver on what He promises. He’s alive!

Now, it’s time. Jesus is the King and He’s coming to Jerusalem for His final Passover feast. How will He be received? In this message, we will see the reception He gets and be challenged to respond ourselves.

After Jesus does an incredible miracle, everyone who witnesses it is forced to make a decision on who they believe Jesus is. We, like them, have to make the same choice. In these verses, Jesus shows us that He is the better choice.

Jesus can set you free! Not many people think of Him that way, but that was the whole goal of His ministry. In our passage this week we see the heat rise and the contrast increase between Jesus and the religious leaders. Like everyone else listening, we have to look at what they say and how they live to answer the question, “Who do we believe?”

Finally, the Pharisees think they can trap Jesus into saying something arrestable. But Jesus will not be fooled and He seizes the opportunity to teach us something very important about the way He views people who have failed.

It is a difficult thing to shift gears from what we’ve always been told and the people who we have trusted. But when we are face-to-face with the truth of Jesus, that’s a decision worth making. In this message, we see people confronting that reality and living with their choices.

What happens when you put Jesus in front of a hungry crowd with no food in sight? He makes a meal appear out of nowhere! But the purpose behind this miracle is much more than just satisfying physical appetites, it creates an opportunity for Him to teach them how to satisfy a much more meaningful craving.
