Are You Cursed? | Reverse the Curse | Galatians 3:10-14 | with Joshua Sanders

Are you under a curse?It may sound like a strange question, but it's exactly the question the Apostle Paul answers in Galatians 3:10-14.Many people believe that if they simply try harder, do more good than bad, or become a better person, they'll be accepted by God. But what if the problem is much deeper than that?In this message, we learn why God's Law could never save us, what Christ accomplished on the cross by becoming a curse for us, and how the Gospel opens the way for us to be welcomed into the family of God.

Is America a Part of God's Plan? | All the Nations | Galatians 3:6-9 | with Joshua Sanders

As our country celebrates 250 years of independence, we open Galatians 3:6-9 to discover that God's redemptive story has always been reaching far beyond any one people or place.

2026 VBS Celebration | The Good Shepherd | Psalm 23 | with Joshua Sanders

This past week our kids took an Irish adventure through Psalm 23 during VBS. Every single night they crossed a bridge. From lost to found. From the wrong path to the right path. From fearful to peaceful. From grumbling to grateful. From shaky to sure. On Sunday, we celebrated everything God did throughout the week by opening Psalm 23 together as a full church family. David wrote these six verses looking back over a lifetime of lions and giants and caves and failures. And after all of it, he came to one unmistakable conclusion. Through every single season, the Shepherd never stopped caring for His sheep.

Why Aren't You Growing Spiritually? | Spiritual Growth | Galatians 3:1-5 | with Joshua Sanders

Have you ever wondered why spiritual growth can feel so difficult? Many Christians understand that we are saved by faith in Jesus. But somewhere along the way, we begin to believe that growing spiritually requires something more. More effort. More performance. More striving. In Galatians 3:1-5, the Apostle Paul confronts that very mindset. As he asks the Galatians a series of powerful questions, he reminds them that the same faith that saved them is the same faith that grows them. Spiritual growth does not happen by moving beyond the Gospel. It happens by continually returning to Jesus, trusting His finished work, and walking in the power of the Holy Spirit.

Does Grace Give You a License to Sin? | Union With Christ | Galatians 2:17-21 | with Joshua Sanders

Becoming a Christian isn't just about where you go when you die. It's about who you become starting right now.Last week we talked about how God's verdict over your life depends on one thing, faith in Christ alone. This week Paul takes us somewhere even deeper. He answers the question a lot of people ask... "If grace really is free, what's stopping people from just living however they want?"Paul's answer shows us what the Christian life should look like. Through union with Christ, the old you dies and something brand new is raised up in its place.
