Good Morning “Livers by The Spirit.”  Today we dig into Galatians 5.As Paul continues to urge the Galatian church’s to turn back to the Gospel, he urges them to live by the Spirit instead of the flesh.

Good Morning “Freed Men and Women.”  Today we’re in Galatians 4.Paul must continue to address the Galatians in the way they had reverted back to their earlier days in Judaism.

Good Morning “One in Christ”!  Dig into Galatians 3 today!Paul continues to address the purpose of the law and the means by which we must be saved.  The purpose of the law was never to save, but to define and incite sin.  Jesus Christ was promised long before the law was given.  The law did not somehow erase Gods promise, it doesn’t work like that.  On the contrary the law simply defined an even g...  Read More

Good Morning “REAL Gospel Receivers.”  Today we start Galatians chapter 1The church’s in the region of Galatia were similar to the Church in Corinth in that they too had begun to believe a corrupted, changed Gospel.  In the time in which we live, making the Gospel, even God into what we want Him to be, seems to be common place.  There is nothing new under the sun.  We weren’t the first to do this....  Read More

Good Morning “Sufficient Grace Receivers.”  Today we dive into 2 Corinthians 12.Paul speaks of his near death experience.  When did this happen?  Who knows… maybe it was when he was stoned and believed to me dead, or one of his many other near death persecution’s.  Nevertheless - Paul saw and heard things that no man is permitted to tell.  To keep him humble and close to God, he was given a thorn ...  Read More
