Overview:

This fall, we’re spending 12 weeks in the book of Galatians, slowing down to soak in the Grace and Truth at the heart of the Christian faith. In a world where answers are immediate and always within reach, Galatians invites us to come back to something deeper and more foundational: the simple good news of Jesus. Paul wrote Galatians to Christians who were beginning to complicate the simplicity of Jesus’ gift. His reminder to them, and to us, is that reconciliation with God, along with the forgiveness, freedom, purpose, and security that flow from it, is a gift we receive through faith.

Together, through Sunday sermons and a devotional reading guide, we’ll spend time in these words and consider how the gospel shapes the way we understand everything else. Our hope is that we’ll settle more deeply into the simple gospel and discover again the Christ-centered freedom and Spirit-filled life found there.

Know: The good news of Jesus is the deep, core truth in a world of instant (often tribal) answers.

Do: Build your life on this truth, as you live by the Spirit.
