We take a detour into Ephesians 6:10-20 this week. A biblical understanding of Spiritual Warfare rests in v. 10 " Be strong in the Lord and the strength of His might." Kevin unpacks this as we dig into Ephesians 6:10-20. We need to be 1. Strong in the Lord 2. Put On the Armor of God 3. Take Up the Armor of God 4. Pray 5. Proclaim the Gospel. Do we …

Pastor Sean breaks down the encounter between Boaz, Mr. so and so, and the elders in this passage. We see that this is beautiful foreshadowing of our redeemer, Jesus! Like Ruth, we come to the relationship with nothing to offer, but Jesus, like Boaz, out of His great love for us offers us redemption... Have you been redeemed?…

As we continue through Ruth, we see God's providence throughout. Pastor Sean looks at how God' character is reflected in Ruth in her sense of honor, sacrifice, work ethic, humility and gratitude, as well as in Boaz as he is seen as generous, compassionate and God focused. God works out their meeting using their own choices for His divine purposes p…

As we finish chapter 1 of Ruth, Pastor Sean dives into three major themes... 1. God's providence 2. The Lamenting of Naomi 3. The Loyalty of Ruth. As we look at Ruth, we need to be reminded of our God. What we know about God will determine how we see Him in our circumstances both good and bad, and our beliefs are revealed during times of testing, t…

As we begin our series through Ruth, we look at some background information, seeing similarities to other themes in the Bible. Although these first few verses are filled with tragedy, we see God's providence in this situation and how we can relate that to our lives. Taking a brief look forward we see how God works all things out for His glory. He s…

We finish our study through Galatians this week. Pastor Sean unpacks the emphasis Paul brings to the SIMPLE GOSPEL. Paul in his last words calls out the ways the Galatians are being disobedient and have a false faith. He returns to the point of the entire letter, have you put your faith in Jesus? There is absolutely nothing we can do to accomplish …

Paul continues to build upon his words ending in chapter 5 verses 25 and 26, "If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another." In light of this, Pastor Sean looks at how the Gospel Community works together for restoration, protection, sowing, and perseverin…

Pastor Sean breaks down this passage into four parts. 1. The Battle vs. 16-18 2. The Flesh vs. 19-21 3. The Spirit vs. 22-23 4. The Call vs. 25-26. The stakes could not be higher in the battle between our flesh and the Spirit, it is life and death. Jesus won the battle for us. Through repentance, we move from the works of the flesh to the seeing th…

Pastor Sean points toward three key takeaways in today's passage. First, Paul urges the Galatians to stand in their freedom. Second, Theology matters for all who trust in Jesus for salvation... not just the pastor and elders. Third, Paul explains the reason and importance for holy living. Our freedom in Christ and theology from His word should lead…

Pastor Sean breaks this passage down looking at... 1. The Story 2. The Argument 3. The Application. Paul corrects what many were teaching; that we believe, then we obey and are accepted. Using the story from Genesis 14-17; he reminds them that Jesus taught that we believe in faith, are accepted by God through Christ, and we obey as a result. If we …

Paul continues to explain what it means to be an heir in today's passage. Pastor Sean breaks down the analogy Paul used about slaves and sons; he looks at the reality that we are different, we WERE slaves to sin....but Christ; and we are marked as Christians and have been made free! How much work do you put into your relationship with Jesus? Do you…

In these four verses, Paul shows us that the law does not void the covenant God made with Abraham. Pastor Sean looks at the nature of the covenant, how God narrowed the scope of the covenant, the purpose of the law, and the promise that was made. We are saved through the promise and not through the Law. The question we all need to answer is... Do y…

This week Pastor Sean looked at Galatians 3:10-14 with three key insights; 1. The Curse; 2. The Cross; 3. The Christ. Looking back at Deuteronomy, we see how serious curses were to God and the Hebrews. Paul shows how, through the cross, Christ broke the curse for us by bearing the curse from God so that we might be redeemed. Paul throughout this le…

Paul continues to strongly clarify the Gospel in this passage. He reminds them that not only are they justified by faith (vs. 1-2), but they are sanctified by faith as well (vs. 3-5). In light of those truths, Paul confronts them with what they must know to be saved (vs. 6-9). We are saved by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone!…

Paul uses a personal example to illustrate how justification comes through faith in Christ alone. We must stand firm on our convictions, and we cannot compromise our convictions for convenience. We need to be engaged in our gospel community; confronting sin we see and allowing others to bring correction in our lives. We are all part of God's family…

In our passage this week, Pastor Sean examines how Paul highlights the clarity of the gospel, noting that there is a Pharisee in all of us. While the gospel remains unchanged, our missions differ. We are uniquely gifted by God to form a diverse gospel community, fulfilling different missions with the same focus: the simple gospel.…
