Galatians Part 3 - Truth Matters

Do you see the Bible as the Word of God, the standard for our authority, or is it just a book of nice sayings and stories?

The gospel which Paul preached—salvation by grace through faith in Christ to the glory of God—is it from heaven or from men?

Is it clear to those around you that your witness is of a God who changes lives, or is it empty Words? The truth matters

Galatians Part 1 - Grace

If you are following a set of rules, and struggling to match up to a perceived need to be perfect, it is time to let go and remember the way you first came to Christ. Messed up and needing a Saviour, he alone offered the GRACE that made it possible to life life as God intended.

Haggai 5 - Coming Messiah

The challenges so far have been, Consider your ways, remember the purposes of God, and come to him with clean hands. All these prophecies to the people stirred them up and got them back to work rebuilding the temple. We don’t know what else, if anything, Haggai heard from God. Maybe he spoke a lot, and this was the only thing recorded, or maybe this was it. This was the parts that we need to know about. This last prophecy though is a little different.

Operation World 1 - Preaching the Word

No matter if you have never known Christ for yourself, or if you have known him for years, never lose sight of the cross.

How important to you is the cross? A while ago I watched “How I met your mother” where Marshal recalls the perfect burger and drags his friends round New York until he finds it again. Is that how you feel about the gospel?

Operation Samaria 4 - The power of the gospel

Digging into Acts has been both a blessing and a challenge. The challenge is that this is a book of transition. Christ died and rose again, and at that point the new covenant came into force. The book of Acts takes us through the trials of the early church, moving from a subset of the Jewish nation to a world wide phenomena. Going from a small group of men following Christ to an organisation of thousands, millions across multiple cities. And also transitioning from the physical presence of Christ on Earth to the body of believers with Christ living in our hearts. The apostles struggled with this also. They did not have a big enough vision.

Operation Samaria 2 - Where you lead me

Are you listening to the leading of God?

There are three resources God uses on a regular basis to speak to us if we are listening.

• The Word
• The Spirit
• A messenger

Philip is guided by all three.
