17 Bearing Burdens in the Church – Galatians 6:1-5
AM 12 April 2026 17 Bearing Burdens in the Church Galatians 6’1-5 Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted. Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. For if anyone thinks he is something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself. But let each one test his own work, and then his reason to boast…

PM 08 March 2026 Text: Amos 3:1–15Title: Can Two Walk Together?Setting: Evening Worship Service, 08 March 2026 Introduction One of the simplest, most ordinary pictures in life is that of two people walking together. Perhaps you’ve gone for a walk with a friend or spouse. You don’t just suddenly appear on the same road—first there has to be an agreement: Where are we going? What pace will we keep? Which path will we take? Without agreement, you soon find yourselves…
12 Paul’s Pastoral Appeal – Galatians 4:8-20
AM 08 February 2026 12 Galatians 4’8–20 – Paul’s Pastoral Appeal Introduction: The Heart of a Shepherd Few pains cut deeper for a faithful pastor than watching spiritual children drift back into bondage. Paul feels that sorrow keenly for the Galatians. Having seen them freed by justification through faith, he now hears they are turning again to legalism, and his heart breaks. In this passage, his tone shifts from theological argument to personal pleading, from defense of doctrine to the…
11 ADOPTION through the Son – Galatians 4:1-7
AM 01 February 2026 11 Adoption through the Son Galatians 4’1–7 Introduction – From Bondage to Belovedness Every person longs to belong, to be known, loved, and accepted.

Psalm 36 How Precous Is Your Steadfast Love
PM 16 Nov 2025 Psalm 36 How Precious Is Your Steadfast Love 16 Nov 2025 Introduction Brothers and sisters, when you look around at the world, you can’t help but see the contrasts, can you? There’s beauty — in the sunrise, in a child’s laughter, in the kindness of a friend — but there’s also so much brokenness. Sin has stained everything. We see it in the headlines, in the suffering around us, and if we’re honest, we see it…
01 The Divine Gospel of Grace and PEace – Galatians 1:1-5
AM Service 09 Nov 2025 Text: Galatians 1:1–5Title: Christ Alone: The Divine Gospel of Grace and Peace IntroductionWhen you open Paul’s letter to the Galatians, you feel at once that something is wrong. Unlike his other letters, there is no word of thanksgiving, no warm commendation, no gentle opening. Instead, the letter begins with urgency, almost with severity. Why? Because the very heart of the gospel was under attack. The churches of Galatia—likely a group of young congregations in what…
