Hope Rock Church

Christ has set us free! Let's enjoy it! But how do we get the balance right between "religiosity" and "liscentiousness"?

We continue to unpack Galatians 5 and note how faith leads to righteousness and good works.

We unpack Galatians 4 and see how coming under the Law is coming under bondage.

As we continue to unpack Galatians, we see the value of "friendship before function" and how the gospel is so powerful in our weakness.

This Sunday we unpacked Galatians 4:1-11 and looked at what it means to be adopted into the family of God and to be able to cry out "Abba" Father.

In this installment of our Galatian series, we dive into Galatians 3:23 -29 and look at what it means to live in the identity Jesus died to give us, i.e., Sons and Daughters of God!

This week, we unpack Galatians 3:15-22 and look at how the Gospel message is weaved into the Covenant God made with Abraham 430 years before the Law ever existed

This Sunday, we look at the example of Abraham in terms of our justification as well as what it means to be free of the curse of the Law.

Marco encourages us on how Christmas brings us hope continually.

Charlie and his Christmas sweater unpack Isaiah 9:5, highlighting how Jesus put an end to the war in our heart.

Charlie unpacks what joy means in the Advent season.

Marco Broccardo encourages us on what Advent truly is all about and shares some childhood memories while expounding on Isaiah 9:2.

Paul asks a probing question in Galatians 3:1: "O foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you?" The plague of "cultural Christianity" has infiltrated the churches in Galatia, Jews wanting Gentiles to become Jewish as a mechanism of Salvation. In our case, it may be different, but make no mistake, “Cultural Christianity” in whatever form will never produce the blessings and outpour...

Many of us when we hear the scandal of the gospel - that we are justified freely because of Christ and not by our own work - immediately ask with some incredulity, “But does this mean I can do what I want?” Paul, no doubt having received this question himself many times, begins to answer it in Galatians 2:17-21. In this sermon, we begin unpacking his answer and start taking a deep dive in how it i...

The gospel is no respecter of persons, nor is it exclusive to "good people," but rather, its a product of the faithfulness of Christ (Galatians 2:16) .

In Galatians 2:11-14 we witness confrontation, intimidation, and hypocrisy. There is even a fallout among friends that leads to a split within the church. All this turmoil boiled down to conflicting versions of the gospel. Could you stand up to someone who misrepresents the teachings of the Bible? Are you equipped to explain why you believe what you do when questioned about your faith? Is your lif...

In Galatians 2:6-10 we see how Paul, Barnabas, and Titus’ gospel was the same one the other apostles, such as Peter, had been preaching. The encouragement here is we can rest confidently in knowing the gospel has not changed! The good news of Jesus is still the same as in the early church - and it still has the same power! The question is: if the gospel does not have the same power in your life as...

How important is it to preserve the truth of the gospel? What subtle things pull us away from it? This Sunday, we continued studying Galatians and looked at threats to the gospel and strategies to help us maintain the truth in a topsy-turvy world. We can never be reminded too often that only the gospel will strengthen our souls and solve the problems of our culture.

We continue Paul's testimony and find in that the assurance that we are chosen on purpose, with purpose, and for a purpose.

We continue in our series by looking at Paul's authority and some of his testimony. And what's clear is that Paul, just like us as believers, are the beneficiary of God's amazing grace!

In our first installment of our Series through Galatians, we look at Galatians 1:1-10 and in that discover just how special and unique the Gospel is.
