Trail Christian Fellowship

Pastor Garret teaches from Exodus 23:20–24:18, and examines how God doesn't merely provide His people with rules; He gives them Himself. In Christ, the true Angel of the LORD, we have a Guide who leads us, a covenant sealed in blood, and a place at God's table. This indicates that His glory no longer drives us away; instead, it draws us near.

In one of the angriest portions of the angriest letters in the New Testament; Paul calls out the Galatians sudden departure from the true gospel.

God continues to show His character and heart by telling His people what it looks like to live a set-apart life.

Being made right with God has never been about what we do; it's always about who He is and what He has done.

As we continue studying the Law of Moses in Exodus, we're reminded that while the law is good, it cannot save. Its role is to reveal sin, not redeem us from it. That's why Romans 7–8 is so vital: it shows our deep need for rescue and the glorious truth that “the law of the Spirit of life has set us free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death” (Rom. 8:2). We are not saved b...

Galatians 2:1–10 shows Paul defending the truth that salvation comes by grace alone through faith in Christ, without adding any human requirements. His meeting with the Jerusalem apostles affirms that there is only one gospel for all people, uniting believers in truth, freedom, and mission.

God cares about the ordinary day-to-day challenges confronting all of us in this fallen world. Hot on the heels of the ten commandments is this section of how the covenant community should live in less-than-ideal circumstances. (We had a power outage, the audio and video is missing about 10 minutes at the start of the lesson)

Pastor Garret looks at Galatians 1:11–24 and explores Paul's radical transformation from persecutor to apostle, showing that the gospel he preached was directly revealed by Jesus Christ, not invented by man. This section of scripture calls believers to live out their God-given purpose—redeemed by grace, freed from people-pleasing, and sent to glorify God with their lives.

Those who have been saved by the grace of God come under the Word of God and learn the holiness of God.

Galatians is one of the angriest letters in the New Testament. Adding anything to Faith and Grace diminishes the sacrifice of Jesus and Paul cannot believe how easily the Galatian converts are being drawn away into a false gospel.

"Meeting the Holy God" is not something we should take lightly. Pastor Garret explores how Exodus 19 connects the awe-inspiring fear of Mount Sinai with the radiant glory of Christ during the Transfiguration. These scriptures show how the Holy God invites His redeemed people into a relationship, not through fear, but through the grace of Jesus, our greater Mediator.

We all need a purpose that is greater than ourselves. When King David prioritizes his own comfort over God's purposes for his life, he becomes tempted and engages in sin. God uses Nathan to confront David's cover-up, leading to repentance and restoration.

All those who trust in the Lord will be rescued, redeemed, and repurposed for his glory and our good. As we testify to the awesome saving power of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, people are drawn into fellowship with God and his people.

Rooted in Jesus' victory over sin and death, Ephesians 6:10-24 calls believers to "Be Strong" by putting on the whole armor of God, His truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, and Word, while praying in the Spirit at all times reminds us that we are not strong on our own, but only through the victory already won in Christ.

Pastor Travis examines five characteristics from Paul's farewell that paint a portrait of a life well-lived for Christ and His people.

Pastor Travis discusses the various ways the Lord communicates with us.

Pastor Kellen examines Ephesians 5:21-6:9 and encourages us to submit our lives to Christ. Submitting to Christ in the key relational areas of our lives is true surrender to His design.

Pastor Kellen examines Ephesians 5:21-33 and encourages Christian marriages to thrive by having a "Spirit-Filled Marriage," which reflects the relationship between Christ and the church.

Pastor Garret examines 1 John 3:11-18, exploring how the story of Cain and Abel isn't just an ancient tragedy but the origin story of humanity. But in Christ, we find a better ending: from murderer to mercy, from hate to love, from Cain to Christ...the Heart Of A Brother .

Pastor Kellen looks at Ephesians 5:15-21 and as believers we are called to imitate God by walking in love, light, and wisdom, which leads to Spirit-filled relationships. We must be filled with the Spirit to accomplish this.

Pastor Travis draws three principals from Israel's first battle in the wilderness and then considers what we need to fight the battles we face in our day.

Pastor Rob examines Ephesians 5:3-14 and draws out that before coming to Christ, we were all children of darkness. But now, in Christ, we have become Children of Light, and we are to walk in this new reality, turning from sin and finding our peace, joy, and contentment in the Light of Life.

Pastor Travis examines how the Lord teaches Israel (and us) three important realities of walking with God.

Pastor Kellen looks at Ephesians 4:25-5:4 and examines a short list of areas the Holy Spirit is working on in our lives. Seeing, change, and cooperating with that change is evidence of our new life in Christ.
