In this Advent sermon, we look back to a moment of national crisis for Judah—and forward to the miraculous hope of Immanuel. In Isaiah 7, God speaks to a terrified King Ahaz through the prophet Isaiah, not with strategies or alliances, but with a call to faith and a sign: “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.” This ancient promise, later fulfilled in...

In the opening message of our Advent series, Pastor Josh Hildebrandt takes us not to Bethlehem, but to the throne room of heaven, where Isaiah sees the Lord high and lifted up. Before we consider the humility of Christ in the manger, we must behold the majesty of Christ on the throne. This vision in Isaiah 6 reveals the holiness of God, the sinfulness of man, and the mercy that comes from God alon...

In this sermon from Jonah 4:1–6, Pastor Josh explores the unsettling truth that sometimes our hearts are offended by the very mercy that saves us. Jonah, though obedient outwardly, is inwardly outraged by God’s compassion toward Nineveh.

In Jonah 3, we witness the scandalous mercy of God on full display—toward a rebellious prophet and a wicked city. Jonah, the runaway prophet, is recommissioned by God and sent again to Nineveh with a simple message: “Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown.” What follows is one of the most remarkable turnarounds in all of Scripture—a city infamous for cruelty repents, and God relents. Big...

In this sermon, we plunge into the depths of Jonah’s distress and uncover the even greater mercy of God. From the belly of the fish, Jonah cries out—and his prayer reveals a truth more profound than he understands: “Salvation belongs to the Lord.” Through Jonah’s prayer, we behold a merciful God who rescues and redeems imperfect people for his perfect purposes, because salvation belongs to the Lor...

In a world awash with customizable “gods,” Isaiah calls us to behold the living God as He truly is—self-sufficient, singular, and utterly incomparable. From the span of the heavens to the rise and fall of princes, God alone creates, governs, and sustains all things. And in His kindness, this Holy One gives strength to the weary who wait on Him. God is self-sufficient: He has life in Himself and ne...

In this closing passage of Galatians, Paul draws a bold line around what matters most: there is one Gospel, one reason to boast, and one new creation. We’re called to steward the Gospel—proclaiming it to the world and applying it to our hearts—because others before us held the line so we could hear it today.  

In this powerful exploration of Galatians 6:6-10, we delve into the profound concept of 'Household Principles' within the family of God. The central message revolves around four key principles: support, sowing and reaping, faithfulness, and priority. We're reminded that as members of God's household, we're called to support one another, especially those who teach us God's word. This mutual support...

The Fruit of the Spirit is the very character of Christ formed in us by the Spirit to stand against this present evil age. In Galatians 5:22-26, we learn why the fruit is one unified fruit (with many facets), how it wages war against the flesh, and how true freedom is found only as we belong to Christ and keep in step with the Spirit.

If you’re in Christ, you are not doomed to live under sin’s power. Paul calls us to “walk by the Spirit,” reminding us that the Spirit’s presence and power secure real victory over the flesh. The battle is constant and obvious, but as we set our minds on the Spirit, we are transformed. This passage also brings a sober warning: a life given over to the works of the flesh will not inherit the kingdo...

Paul tells the Galatians, “You were running well.” What happened? False teachers had added religious requirements that muted the offense of the cross. Paul warns that “a little leaven leavens the whole lump” and calls the church back to gospel clarity: we’re saved by grace through Christ alone. Christian freedom isn’t a license to indulge the flesh; it’s power to love and serve one another. The wh...

In Part 14 of our Galatians series, Pastor Josh Hildebrandt explores Paul’s bold call to stand firm in the freedom Christ has secured. This message from Galatians 5:1–6 confronts legalism, reminds us of the cost of grace, and points us back to the heart of saving faith: Jesus Christ and His finished work.

Paul asks the Galatians why they want the law’s yoke when Scripture itself points to freedom in Christ. Using Hagar and Sarah, he shows two ways to live: slavery through human effort or freedom through God’s promise. Believers are “children of promise,” citizens of the Jerusalem above, called to expect opposition yet cling to the gospel.

In this sermon, Don’t Be Fooled Again, Paul’s heartfelt plea in Galatians 4:8–22 calls believers to guard against trading the freedom found in Christ for the slavery of man-made religion. Drawing from the cosmic backdrop of Scripture—from Babel to the cross—Pastor Kyle shows how false teaching often comes cloaked in religious respectability, yet leads away from grace. Like a spiritual father, Paul...

In this sermon from Galatians 4:1–7, we discover the life-changing reality of the gospel: We are no longer slaves, but sons and heirs through Christ. At the perfect time, God sent His Son to redeem us from the law, and His Spirit to remind us of our adoption. This passage takes us from spiritual slavery to sonship, showing us the depth of God’s grace and the assurance we have in Him.

In this sermon, Pastor Josh Hildebrandt explores the watershed moment Paul describes in Galatians 3—“But now faith has come.” What does this mean for us? 1. Faith Personified: Faith isn’t abstract power—it’s trust in a person, Jesus Christ. 2. The Law Personified: The law served as our guardian, pointing to our need for grace. 3. Faith Applied: In Christ, we are sealed as sons, shaped into a new h...

In this sermon from our No Other Gospel series, Pastor Josh Hildebrandt unpacks Galatians 3:15–22, reminding us that the gospel is rooted in a promise, not performance. God’s covenant with Abraham is unbreakable, particular in Christ, and overflowing with grace and mercy. The law reveals our sin, but only the promise of God in Jesus brings life.

In this message, we examine Paul’s argument that justification is by faith in Christ alone, not by works of the law. Galatians 2:15–21 stands as a verdict of grace: we are declared righteous not by our own effort, but by union with Christ, who loved us and gave Himself for us. The sermon exposes the futility of self-justification and calls the church to rest in the finished work of Jesus. The cros...

In this message, the preacher unfolds the grand narrative of redemption found in Galatians 3:7–14, showing how the gospel is not just a story among many, but the sufficient and final word for God’s people. The text draws a sharp line between the curse of self-reliance and the blessing of faith in Christ. We are reminded that all who rely on works of the law are under a curse, but Christ became a c...

In this message, Pastor Josh unpacks Paul’s piercing words to the Galatians: “O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you?” Galatians 3 confronts the temptation to drift from faith in Christ to reliance on personal effort. We’re shown how false doctrine blinds us to the cross and deafens us to grace. From the foolishness of legalism to the steadfastness of faith, this sermon calls believers to retu...

When the gospel is clear, unity follows. In Galatians 2:1–10, Paul stands his ground in Jerusalem, refusing to let anything add to Christ or divide His church. Pastor Josh Hildebrandt walks through this crucial moment, showing why gospel unity is not a side issue but the heart of Christian mission. Grace alone saves and shapes us, making one people from many backgrounds.

In this powerful sermon from Galatians 1:11-24, Pastor Tyler unpacks Paul’s testimony to highlight the divine origin of the gospel, his radical transformation by God’s grace, and the purpose of every transformed life, to glorify God.

In this powerful opening to our Galatians series, Pastor Josh lays out the urgent and unshakable foundation of the Gospel. Through Paul’s greeting, we see the authority of God’s message, rooted not in man but in Christ Himself, and the theology of grace that delivers us from this present evil age.
