Bottom Line: Don’t mess with the message. The true Gospel of Grace through Christ is the only message that sets us free. 

The True Gospel

Danger of Distortion

Bottom Line: A distorted Gospel leads to destruction, but the true Gospel leads to life. Guarding the Gospel requires discernment, boldness, and a commitment to God’s truth over culture’s twists.

Pleasing God, Not People

Bottom Line: A life centered on pleasing God brings freedom from the pressure of human approval. When our identity is in Christ, we can live boldly and share His truth with confidence.

Main Scripture: Galatians 2:20

Bottom Line: A life of faith means dying to ourselves so that Christ can live through us.

Justification by Faith

Bottom Line: We are made right with God not by keeping the law but through faith in Jesus Christ. True freedom comes when we rely on Christ’s work, not our own, to reconcile us to God.

The Old is Gone

Bottom Line: In Christ, our old selves are crucified, and His life now defines us. Living with the truth that “Christ lives in me” empowers us to walk in freedom and purpose.

Living By Faith

Bottom Line: Faith is trusting the unseen but certain reality of Christ’s presence and love in our lives. When we live by faith, His Spirit shapes our hearts, and His love transforms how we see ourselves and the world.

Unity in Christ

Bottom Line: In Christ, all divisions fade, and we are united as one family under God. Unity reflects God’s heart and shows the world the power of the Gospel to bring people together.

Heirs to Promise

Bottom Line: Through faith, we inherit the same promises God gave to Abraham—blessings, purpose, and a relationship with Him. Living as heirs of God’s promise transforms how we see ourselves and our role in His story.

Main Scripture: Galatians 4:6-7

Bottom Line: As God’s adopted children, we are called to live in freedom, not return to bondage..

Adoption as Children

Bottom Line: Through Christ, we are adopted into God’s family, giving us a new identity and belonging. As His children, we are loved and secure, no matter what our earthly family may look like.

Intimacy with God

Bottom Line: God invites us into an intimate relationship where we can call Him “Abba, Father,” just as Jesus did. Pursuing closeness with God transforms our hearts and strengthens our faith.

Rejecting Bondage

Bottom Line: As children of God, we are called to live in the freedom Christ has given us, not return to the chains of our past. Walking in freedom means choosing God’s Spirit over sin and legalism.

Main Scripture: Galatians 5:1, 22-23

Bottom Line: Walking in the Spirit produces true freedom, and the fruit of a transformed life. 

Stand Firm in Freedom

Bottom Line: Christ has set us free, and we’re called to live in that freedom without returning to old patterns of bondage. True freedom means living as God intended, unshackled by sin and empowered by His Spirit.

Walk by the Spirit

Bottom Line: Walking by the Spirit often requires setting boundaries that protect our freedom in Christ and help us avoid temptation. Choosing what’s beneficial over what’s permissible keeps us aligned with God’s purpose for our lives.

Fruit of the Spirit

Bottom Line: The fruit of the Spirit reveals the transformation God is working in us, producing characteristics that reflect His love and grace. Praying for and pursuing the Spirit’s work in our lives helps us live with visible evidence of God’s presence.

Main Scripture: Galatians 6:7-10

Bottom Line: What we plant in faith today will grow into God’s harvest tomorrow. 

What You Sow, You Reap

Carry Each Other’s Burdens

Bottom Line: Living in community means supporting one another, especially in faith, so that no one walks alone. Asking for and offering help strengthens the body of Christ and helps us grow together.

Don’t Give Up

Bottom Line: Perseverance in faith and good works is never in vain, as God uses every effort to bring about an eternal harvest. Trusting in His perfect timing encourages us to keep sowing seeds of love, faith, and service.
