The gospel is good news, but not just any good news—not the good news of a pay raise, or of a good grade in school, or of a victory of your favorite sports team, or of the solution to some international problem. It is the unexpected, surprising good news that God is not angry or indifferent or impersonal, but that God loves you and has provided the means for your salvation—all for free. What would your life would look like if you really believed it.

Finding Real Passion Beyond the Poison of Hypocrisy
February 7, 2010 by Aric · Leave a Comment
This is the 6th sermon in our Galatians series. In which we are dealing with the central Christian doctrine of Justification. One of the most personal and poignant moments in all of Paul’s writings is when he says, “The life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me. (Galatians 2:20). . . . You can trust Him because He is passionate about you.
Freedom From Religion

I believe that God is forcing us out of the prison of things that are done because they are always done that way. And in the process of leading others out of their prisons of sin, I find myself being let out of my prison of religion. And together we are learning to love Jesus the way Jesus loves us. Christianity is the great anti-religion.

Freedom! “It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery,” (Galatians 5:1). Jesus Christ died to deliver you from the curse of the law—glorious forgiveness!—and He died to deliver you from the conceptions of our age—glorious freedom and independence of mind!

Am I Christian Enough
January 3, 2010 by Aric · Leave a Comment
Somewhere along the line we got confused and we got it backwards. Somewhere, at some time, we decided that if we are good enough and keep all the rules of goodness, we would find freedom. But goodness, obedience, and holiness are the results of freedom, not the cause of it. So, to help us to understand that, we are going to spend some time in Paul’s letter to the Galatian Christians. And the truth is, Galatians is nothing more than a practical commentary on these words of Jesus: If you abide in My Word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; and you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. . . . If therefore the Son shall make you free, you shall be free indeed,” (John 8:31-32, 36). The message of the gospel is the message of freedom.
