08 Seek the LORD and Live! Amos 5:1–17
PM 29 March 2026 Introduction The prophet Amos ministered in the middle of the eighth century B.C., during the reigns of Uzziah in Judah and Jeroboam II in Israel. The northern kingdom was at the height of its prosperity. The borders were secure; the merchants were rich; the shrines were crowded; the people were confident that all was well.

14 Freedom in Christ Not Legalism Galatians 5’1–6
AM 08 March 2026 Introduction Freedom is one of the most precious words in the Christian vocabulary—and one of the most misunderstood. Every heart longs for it. The world cries for freedom from oppression, from guilt, from authority.

They had begun well—rejoicing in the gospel…

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.

AM 18 January 2026 09 The Purpose of the Law Galatians 3’15–22 Sunday AM, 18 Jan 2026 Introduction Brothers and sisters, one of the deepest questions of the Christian life is this: How do God’s promise and God’s Law fit together? On the one hand, the Bible tells us that salvation is a free gift—rooted in God’s promise, given by His grace, received through faith. From Abraham onward, God pledged blessing to His people, not because they earned it, but…

What happens when a respected leader, even an apostle, stumbles and by his example leads others astray? That…
