UNITY [Galatians 2]
Ken Elsner, Lead Pastor
What does the word "Freedom" mean to you? Does it mean do whatever you want? Does it connect with the definition "the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint." Or, do you have no idea what freedom really means because you're so constricted by the rules and traditions that you grew up with?
We're in this ancient letter to an ancient group of people called the Galatians and that's exactly what they're talking about...their freedom AND their unity in said "freedom".
Want to know what real freedom means?

ONE GOSPEL: My Chains Are Gone
Ken Elsner, Lead Pastor
What kind of story do you have? When people meet you and spend time with you, what comes across most? Generous? Approachable. Intimidating? Rude? Everyone makes first impressions. Everyone has a story that tells people who they are. The Apostle Paul had a story too and it was both scary and amazing. Both parts of his story are remembered in history. Both parts of his story were used by God to impact those around him and the world.
What do you want your story to say about you? Impact those around you or repel them? Sometimes we need a "come to Jesus" moment like Paul did to shake things up a bit. We're in week 2 of our summer series in Galatians. It's all about our stories.

No Other Gospel [1:1-9]
Ken Elsner, Lead Pastor
About 30 years after Jesus' Resurrection happened, a letter was written and sent to a group of churches in Galatia, a region of southern Asia Minor. This letter, written by Paul, was urgent and intense. Somewhere along the way, this group of churches began to listen to other teachers that were suggesting that Jesus' gospel wasn't entirely complete. That they need to add extra "practices" in order to be saved.
It's interesting to me that we are in a similar time. Whether it's the addition of extra steps of holiness or the over simplification and watering down of Grace, the gospel of Jesus is being compromised. So, for the next 13 weeks, we're going to immerse ourselves in this letter to the churches of Galatia. Hopefully we can walk away each week understanding Jesus' Gospel and maybe, just maybe grow deeper in our walk with him.
