Walking In The Fire Daniel 3:19-25
Chuck Swindoll said “we are all faced with innumerable opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations.” In Daniel 3:19-25, God shows His greatness and His faithfulness to His people, making Himself known to all who stood watching, including the king of Babylon! But what if Shadrach,...

Who is the God who will Deliver You? Daniel 3:8-18
Who is the God who will Deliver You? Daniel 3:8-18The church- and the world- need to see the power of people with a settled faith- not reacting in fear, but living out unshakeable confidence in God. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego are an example of such unshakeable confidence. They believed God…

Worship the Golden Image Daniel 3:1-7
A massive golden idol. A king’s demand to bow down, or else. A life or death decision. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego find themselves in a dangerous situation, indeed. Most of us have not been commanded to bow before an idol, especially not on pain of death, but in this message from Daniel…

God of gods, Lord of kings Daniel 2:46-49
In Daniel 2:46-49, we get to peek into a throneroom. We see a king on his face. A pagan king at that. King Nebechadnezzar confesses the greatness of Jehovah. He tells Daniel, “Surely your God is the God of gods and the King of kings.” And He is. The awesomeness of our great God is captivating.…

The God of Heaven Will Set up a Kingdom. Daniel 2:24-45
In Daniel 2:24-45, Daniel comes to the king who has demanded the impossible of his wisemen- to interpret his dream, but only after they tell him what the dream was in the first place! When Nebechadnezzar asks if Daniel can tell both the dream and its meaning, Daniel points out that no man could,...
-
Mercies from the God of Heaven Daniel 2:14-23
Oswald Chambers said the clearest evidence that God’s grace is at work in our hearts is when we do not get into panics. From a human perspective, Daniel and his friends had every right to get into a panic. A king demanded the impossible and put a death sentence on failure. Daniel’s response is a...
-
Tell me the Dream Daniel 2:1-13
In spite of their captivity in a distant land, Daniel and his friends embraced the role God had for them and were soon recognized for their commitment to excellence. But what would happen when the King demanded the impossible? A demand that, if not met, would mean death for Daniel and his…

Daniel 1:17-21 Shining Lights
Dropped into a situation that must've felt dark, Daniel and his friends shone brightly- an outstanding contrast. They didn’t do so by hiding or even protesting. Instead they applied themselves fully to the role God had entrusted to them. We can be better equipped to engage our own culture with...
-
Daniel 1:8-16 "Stay Focused"
As captives in Babylon, Daniel and his friends encounter a foreign worldview that clashes with their own. In the face of intense pressure to conform, Daniel purposes in his heart to stand firm in his convictions. Daniel chapter 1 shows us how to hold fast to God with truth and grace. A delight in...
-
Daniel 1:3-7 Encountering Change
Alexander Graham Bell said, “When one door closes, another opens, but we often look so long and regretfully at the closed door that we do not see the one that has opened for us.” How do you handle change? God cares how we respond when things don’t go the way we had planned. Daniel chapter 1...
-
Daniel 1:1-2 When Evil Seems To Win
Today we begin a series on the book of Daniel titled “The Most High God Rules in the Kingdom of Man”. The stories in the Old Testament are like puzzle pieces that come together to reveal God’s message, but Pastor Rich calls the book of Daniel “the box top” to that puzzle. For in it, we can see...
-
A New Creation- Galatians 6:11-18
As Paul closes out his letter to the Galatians, he emphasizes one last time legalism’s incapacity to produce a changed life and the beautiful power of grace. The law cannot define the status of the believer, nor transform his heart, only Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection carries that kind…
more -
Sowing and Reaping - Galatians 6:6-10
What you sow, you reap. This isn’t only an Old Testament principle. Galatians 6:8 reminds us that if we sow to the Spirit- drawing near to God, abiding in Christ, letting His Word dwell in us- we will reap eternal life. But if we sow to the flesh- fostering bitterness, self-pity, pride,...
-
Galatians 6:1-5 The Law of Christ
In Christ we are freed from the law. We don’t hold the burden of living up to a set of rules. Instead, we are under the law of Christ, governed by the Holy Spirit, constrained by the love of Jesus. That freedom allows us to love and serve with joyful sacrifice. See, The law of Christ actually...
-
Galatians 5:19-24 The Freedom of the Spirit
Has there been a crucifixion in your life? Galatians 5:24 tells us that those who belong to Jesus have crucified the sinful flesh. In this message, Pastor Rich shared 7 signs that you might still be sowing to the flesh instead of walking by the Spirit and what it will look like when we have...
-
Galatians 5:16-18 Walk by the Spirit. Part 2
The Bible uses phrases like walk by the Spirit, about in Christ, and draw near to God. If the meaning of these feels vague to you or if you are wondering what such phrases look like lived out, this message is for you. How do I walk by the Spirit? Let's listen to this message from Galatians 5;16-18.
-
Galatians 5:16-18 Walk by the Spirit. Part 1
In Christ, we become a new creation, free to follow Jesus. But our sin nature doesn't go away. Why does the Spirit-filled Christian still sin? What does it look like to, not just manage our behavior, but to be transformed to truly look like Christ? Pastor Rich answers these questions from today's...
-
Galatians 5:13-15 Free to Love Your Neighbor.
There are two natural extremes in religion- to indulge the flesh or to restrict with rules and regulations. God calls us, not to follow the flesh or a code, but to follow our Lord Jesus. This is the new way in the Spirit. The new way in the Spirit is to use the freedom in Christ to one another....
-
Galatians 5:7-12 Obstacles to Freedom
What beautiful freedom and relationship there is in walking with Jesus! It stands unique from every religion and moralistic code of living. Maybe you are asking what it looks like to walk with Him or why those who follow Him sometimes lose sight of the freedom and joy Jesus offers. In this…

Galatians 5:5-6 Faith Working Through Love
Galatians 5:5-6 says 5 For through the Spirit we eagerly await by faith the righteousness for which we hope. 6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love. What is this hope we eagerly await? Does...
-
Galatians 5:2-4 The Advantage of Christ
If your ticket to heaven lies in what you do or don’t do, you aren’t following Christ but moralism. What is moralism and how is it different from Christianity? Pastor Rich answers this question from our passage today in Galatians 5:2-4. Find out how our new life in Christ, in all its beauty and...
-
Galatians 5:1 Stand Firm in Freedom
Galatians 5:1 tells us that it is for freedom Christ has set us free. Paul continues with a warning, “stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by the yoke of slavery.” We are no longer slaves burdened under obligation to a code, but sons and daughters, walking with our…

Galatians 4:21-31 Born According to the Spirit
God is doing great things in the heart of a Christian faithfully submitted to the Savior. Phil. 2:13 tells us that it is God who works in us, both to will and to work for his good pleasure. As followers of Jesus, our fruit-filled life comes as the upshot of walking with and treasuring God. In...
-
Galatians 4:12-20 A Parent's Anguish
The Galatian church had slipped back into old patterns- tying itself to moral codes and practices instead of the transformative grace of Jesus. In Galatians 4:12-20, Paul calls to them as a loving parent reaching out to a wayward child. He lovingly and truthfully reprimands them, calling them to...
-
Galatians 4:8-20 How Can You Turn Away?
Galatians 4:8-11 God has called His people out of the pagan system controlled by fear and into the intimate, loving relationship a child has with a good Father. Those in Christ are the objects of God’s loving concern. In Galatians 4:9, Paul asks believers how they could turn back to the rituals…
more -
Galatians 4:1-7 No Longer A Slave But A Son
In Galatians 4:1-7, Paul illustrates how Christ’s redeeming work brings us out from under the law. He contrasts the status and role of a child in ancient Roman law to that of an heir coming of age. Christ has made us heirs. Because of the Spirit Jesus places within His people, our hearts love and...
-
Galatians 3:23-29 Children of God in Christ
In Galatians 3:23-29, Paul portrays the law as our necessary guardian for a time, meant to protect and discipline, to define and expose sin. But Christ came so that we could experience the beautiful adoption into the family of God- what freedom and privilege. The law was meant to lead us to the...
-
Galatians 3:15-22 The Promise of Faith
The law shows us all too clearly the fallen nature of man. We cannot keep even the most basic law that is written on every man’s conscience. We stand condemned and cursed. But God. Thankfully, the hero of the story comes to bear the full condemnation and curse on our behalf- He is Jesus the…
more -
Galatians 3:10-14 Living by Faith
The law shows us all too clearly the fallen nature of man. We cannot keep even the most basic law that is written on every man’s conscience. We stand condemned and cursed. But God. Thankfully, the hero of the story comes to bear the full condemnation and curse on our behalf- He is Jesus the…

Galatians 3:7-9 Legacy of Faith
In Genesis 12, God promised Abraham that through his line, all the nations would be blessed. God was already pointing to the Messiah He would send, not just for the Jews, but for anyone who would believe on Him. In Christ, we are invited into the beautiful family of faith. As he works through...
-
Galatians 3:1-6 Spiritual Reversal
Imagine a prisoner, released from his sentence and its legal demands, but choosing to live out that free life carrying the heavy chains of former bondage. In today’s passage, Paul confronts the church of Galatia for putting themselves under the bondage of the law, basing their favor with God on...
-
Galatians 2:20-21 No Longer I But Christ Lives in Me
It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. That’s Galatians 2:20. Christ living in me- that is the power and the point of the Gospel. Entrusting ourselves to Jesus is not a prayer we pray to be free from hell. No. It is a whole new life, becoming a whole new creature. Pastor Rich…
more -
Galatians 2:15-19 Justified by Faith
The perfect Christ became sin so that we might become the righteousness of God. Those who trust in Christ receive His righteousness. Are we then already righteous? Does Christ save us so that we will spend our lives working to be righteous? How do works and faith come together? Pastor Rich delves...
-
Galatians 2:11-14 In Step with the Truth of the Gospel
In Galatians 2:11-14, Paul recounts a confrontation with Peter, who withdrew from eating with Gentiles after certain Jews arrived on the scene. Paul knew this wasn’t just hypocritical, but failed to keep in step with the truth of the gospel. Peter’s actions were damaging to the gospel message! In...
-
Galatians 2:6-10 - The Grace that was Given to Me
In today’s message from Galatians 2:6-10, Pastor Rich draws out 7 principles of gospel ministry, so that every part of the body of Christ would be equipped to live out Christ’s mission. We are all called to ministry if we are in Christ- all called to steward our gifts and resources for His glory.…
more -
Galatians 2:1-5 - Our Freedom that we have in Christ
How easy it is to replace the rich, transformative relationship with Jesus with a checklist theology of do’s and don’ts. In Galatians 2, Paul has much to say about the freedom we have in Christ and the dangerous tendency to make the law the avenue to find favor with God. It is not the gospel. It…
more -
Galatians 1:13-17. Called By Grace
In Galatians 1:13-17, Paul gives a testimony of the radical change that took place in His life after His encounter with Jesus. Paul went from violently persecuting the Church to spreading the gospel message at his own peril, all because He met the Messiah. Pastor Rich shares the portrait of grace...
-
Galatians: The Revelation of Jesus Christ
Galatians 1:11-12 The Revelation of Jesus ChristWe can learn much from creation, but without the Creator’s self-disclosure, we would be blind- blind to who we are, blind to who God is. 2 Corinthians 4:6 tells us:God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” has shone in our hearts to give the...
-
Galatians - The Exclusivity of the Gospel
Isn’t it interesting how much we love systems? We want the five steps to a cleaner home, a more well-behaved child, a better life. We want to know what we have to do. But what happens when we let that love creep into the bedrock of our faith in Christ? It is ever so easy to do. The apostle Paul...
