November 17, 2019 20:00 - 52 minutes - 21.7 MBThe key to enjoying rather than abusing the freedom of the gospel is walking by the Spirit. How do we do that?
Free To Love | Matt McCullough | Galatians 5:7-15

October 27, 2019 20:00 - 42 minutes - 17.2 MBIn this text Paul uses a surprising argument to make a familiar and life-giving point: the freedom of the gospel comes only as a gift, never an achievement.
The Freedom of the Gospel | Matt McCullough | Galatians 4:8-20

October 06, 2019 20:00 - 37 minutes - 15.4 MBWhen God sent his Son, he gave us redemption from the curse of the law, he gave us adoption as sons and daughters of God, and he gave us his Spirit to convince us that it's all true.
One In Christ | Matt McCullough | Galatians 3:27-29
September 29, 2019 20:00 - 48 minutes - 19.3 MBWhen you're in Christ, he is more important for who you are than anything else about you. This has huge implications for our relationships with one another.
Why Then The Law? | Bill Heerman | Galatians 3:15-26
September 22, 2019 20:00 - 43 minutes - 18.4 MBIn this passage Paul explains how the law prepares us for a savior. Obeying the law cannot save us.

August 25, 2019 20:00 - 42 minutes - 17.3 MBThis stunning story shows us that it's possible to affirm the gospel with our words and still miss the implications of the gospel for how we live. It also shows us what God has given to help us live in step with the gospel.
Why Trust The Gospel | Matt McCullough | Galatians 1:11-2:10
August 18, 2019 20:00 - 43 minutes - 18 MBHere are three reasons we can trust the gospel Paul's letter was meant to preserve for us.

The Testing of Israel and the Temptation of Christ | Bill Heerman | Matthew 4:1-11
July 07, 2019 20:00 - 40 minutes - 16.7 MBIn the story of the Exodus, God's people Israel were tested in the wilderness for 40 years. In the New Testament, Jesus was tempted in the wilderness for 40 days. Israel repeatedly turned away from their Father in Heaven, but Jesus faced his temptation without sin. In this Jesus shows that He is the Son of God. And as the Son of God who was perfect, Jesus' death and resurrection purchased for us the right to be called children of God.

Memory Matters | Matt Givens | Psalm 78
June 09, 2019 20:00 - 41 minutes - 16.9 MBWe've heard it said that those who fail to remember the past are doomed to repeat it.

Even so, we see God's ultimate faithfulness--that he has not forgotten us--through the work of Christ.
Redemption Song | Shaka Mitchell | Exodus 15:1-18

The Lord of Life | Matt McCullough | Exodus 20:13
April 21, 2019 20:00 - 49 minutes - 20.3 MBHuman life is precious because God says it is. That means none of us has the right to take the life of anyone else. But there's far more to the sixth commandment than avoiding murder. If we've experienced the life-affirming, life-saving grace of God in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, we will want to follow his lead in protecting and promoting vulnerable lives wherever we can.
Honor Your Parents | Matt McCullough | Exodus 20:12
April 14, 2019 20:00 - 46 minutes - 18.9 MBThe first commandment aimed at how we treat one another is the command to honor your father and mother. What makes this such a foundational command? What would it look like for us to obey it?

That You May Know | Matt McCullough | Exodus 7:8-10:29
February 10, 2019 20:00 - 52 minutes - 21.5 MBThese nine signs of power serve one central purpose. They reveal to us who the Lord really is. What do they tell us about him?

February 03, 2019 20:00 - 38 minutes - 15.4 MBPharaoh's challenge to God's demand--"Who is the Lord?"--was meant as a rhetorical question. But it's a question God takes seriously and intends to answer, for Pharaoh and for Israel and for us, through all the comes next.
