  • Real Christianity in a World that Fakes It | Live Weekend
    Mar 30 2026

    This powerful look at Galatians 6:11–18 confronts us with a defining question: what are we truly boasting in? It exposes the difference between authentic Christianity and a counterfeit version built on religious effort, moral achievement, or the need to impress others. The message is clear—the cross of Christ isn’t just important; it’s everything. We cannot save ourselves, and any attempt to do so distorts the gospel. Real faith means we boast only in what Jesus has done, not what we can do. It’s not about rule-keeping or religious performance, but about becoming a new creation through faith in Him. From that transformation, a new way of living flows—not out of obligation, but because we’ve been fundamentally changed.

    Chapter 1: When Faith Becomes a Performance 0:00 - 14:43
    Chapter 2: The Only Thing Worth Boasting In 14:44 - 21:07
    Chapter 3: Living Like the Gospel Is True 21:08

  • Not Your Problem | Jackson Arnett
    Mar 23 2026

    This powerful look at Galatians 6 reveals a tension at the heart of Christian community: we are responsible for one another, but ultimately accountable to God. It dismantles our idealized view of church and invites us into the messy, grace-filled reality of spiritual family—where we gently restore those caught in sin, carry each other’s burdens, share all good things with those who teach us, and do good to all. At the same time, we’re warned against pride and comparison. The imagery of sowing and reaping reminds us that what we invest our lives in matters—and that each of us will stand before God. This isn’t about earning God's approval, but living from it—doing good because we already belong to Christ. The challenge is to lean into our responsibility for others without losing sight of our own humility before the Father.

  • Let Us Keep in Step with the Spirit | Todd Arnett
    Mar 18 2026

    In Galatians 5, we’re confronted with a clear reality: walking in the Spirit and following the flesh can’t coexist. Every believer feels this inner conflict—but these aren’t equal forces. God’s Spirit is far more powerful than our flesh. This passage challenges our affections, exposing how we sometimes love what God hates and hate what He loves. The fruit of the Spirit isn’t something we achieve through effort, but evidence of a life surrendered to Him. So the question shifts from “How can I try harder?” to “Where have I not submitted?” Real transformation doesn’t come from striving, but from surrender. Through confession, reconciliation, and submission, we learn to keep in step with the Spirit—and experience the life only He can produce.

    Chapter 1: The War Within (Flesh vs. Spirit) 0:00 - 20:16
    Chapter 2: When the Flesh Takes Over 20:17 - 29:59

  • You Were Called to be Free | Todd Arnett
    Mar 9 2026

    In Galatians 5, Paul asks a searching question: who cut in on your race? Using the imagery of runners being obstructed, he warns that even a small influence—like yeast in dough—can pull believers away from the truth of the gospel. The early church faced pressure to add rules and religious performance to faith in Christ, turning freedom into a checklist. But the gospel declares something radically different. We’ve been set free—not to indulge ourselves, but to serve one another in love. The entire law is fulfilled in one command: love your neighbor as yourself. Real love means seeking the good of others, even at our own expense. This week the challenge is simple: What does love require of me today? Look for the people God places in your path and choose to seek their good—even when it costs you something.

    Chapter 1: When False Teaching Cuts In 0:00 - 22:55
    Chapter 2: Freedom Means Loving Others 22:56 - 41:01
    Chapter 3: Don’t Devour One Another 41:02

  • Don't Turn Back | Jody Livingston
    Mar 3 2026

    In Galatians 5, we encounter a powerful warning against returning to spiritual slavery after experiencing freedom in Christ. Christian freedom isn’t the ability to do whatever we want, but the joyful release from servitude into a satisfaction we couldn’t experience before. The text presses a searching question: Have we subtly returned to trying to earn God’s favor through our own efforts? The imagery of the yoke is striking—why place back on our shoulders the burden Jesus died to remove? Justification comes through faith alone, not religious rituals or rule-keeping. Even one sin is enough to shatter any hope of self-earned righteousness, and as sinners by nature, we cannot cleanse ourselves through good works. What counts is faith expressing itself through love. Are we living in Christ’s freedom, or exhausting ourselves trying to earn what has already been freely given?

  • Can You Hear Me Now? | Jackson Arnett
    Feb 23 2026

    In a world constantly chasing connection—swiping for love, networking for opportunity, scrolling for belonging—Galatians 4 asks a deeper question: it’s not just whether we’re connected to God, but how. Through the story of Abraham, Sarah, and Hagar, Paul shows how easily we drift from trusting God’s promise to relying on our own performance. When the promise felt distant, Sarah reached for what was tangible. We do the same—adding effort to what Christ has already finished. Paul contrasts two ways of living: performance that leads to slavery, and promise that leads to freedom. Left to ourselves, we choose the first. But the gospel declares that Jesus stepped into our place—cast out so we could be brought in. The Christian life isn’t about improving our connection to God. It’s about resting in the one Jesus has already secured. Because of Him, we don’t live as slaves trying to be accepted, but as free children who already are.

  • Until Christ is Formed in You | Todd Arnett
    Feb 18 2026

    This exploration of Galatians 4 confronts a sobering reality: we can know the gospel and still drift from its life-giving truth. Paul’s urgent appeals reveal that spiritual deception doesn’t always come through obvious sin, but through adding “good things” to what Christ has already accomplished. In our world, idolatry rarely looks like statues—it looks like elevating relationships, careers, technology, or even religious observance above simple trust in Jesus. Paul warns that even sacred practices can become enslaving when we depend on them for righteousness instead of resting in Christ’s finished work. Speaking as pastor, brother, and parent, he models the relentless love required to pursue wandering hearts. The question is searching and personal: are we trusting Jesus alone, or have we subtly added conditions to the gospel?

  • That We Might Receive Adoption to Sonship | Todd Arnett
    Feb 11 2026

    This exploration of Galatians 3–4 reveals a breathtaking truth we often forget: the gospel doesn’t just rescue us from sin, it brings us into God’s family. Paul shows that we are not welcomed as slaves or temporary guests, but adopted as sons and daughters with full inheritance rights. Through Christ, we are so completely clothed in Him that when the Father looks at us, He sees His beloved Son. This adoption dismantles every barrier that once divided us—race, class, gender—declaring us equally loved and equally secure in God’s eyes. Through the Holy Spirit, we’re invited to call the Creator of the universe “Abba,” not as a distant master but as a loving Father. Yet Paul presses a searching question: will we live in the freedom of our adoption, or continue acting like supervised children, striving for what has already been given?

    Chapter 2: In God’s Family, No One Is More or Less 17:42 – 23:02
