• Churches becoming judgmental places instead of welcoming ones
• The need to feel valued, loved, and a sense of belonging
• The emptiness of trying to find value elsewhere, and the sufficiency of God's grace through the gospel
• The danger of racism and the importance of being reminded of the gospel in response
• The nature of the gospel as received, not achieved, based on Jesus' record, not one's own
• Living a life centered on the gospel, with Christ living in us and through us
• Sharing liberation with others through gospel living
[0.00 --> 6.74] Good morning.
[9.34 --> 16.08] Just a reminder that you do have an opportunity to participate in the offering.
[17.08 --> 20.42] And so if you're so inclined, there's an app you can give through.
[20.52 --> 24.04] You can go to the back to use the debit machines.
[24.04 --> 28.56] But we encourage you to carry on your worship with giving as well.
[30.00 --> 37.88] And I'd like to acknowledge as well that this eighth year in our building.
[39.04 --> 46.42] And it's humbling how we started and we bought the land many, many, many, many years ago.
[46.72 --> 48.44] And now we're this.
[48.52 --> 51.92] And I look at all you here and I'm moved by that.
[53.12 --> 59.98] There's this article that was a new church built with community needs in mind.
[61.00 --> 68.56] And I was interviewed for this article by a reporter from the Cloverdale newspaper.
[69.88 --> 73.86] I was reading through it again and I read what I said.
[73.94 --> 78.62] I said, because, you know, we were in school gyms and so we were always setting up and taking down.
[78.88 --> 80.70] And, you know, people were a little tired of that.
[80.70 --> 84.84] So I said, it's going to be great not to have to put chairs away.
[87.50 --> 90.32] That didn't kind of turn out exactly the way I thought.
[90.46 --> 93.74] But anyways, it's a wonderful thing.
[93.74 --> 100.86] And then there's another line in there that said, we wanted it to be a building that the community would appreciate.
[102.30 --> 108.00] And, you know, we designed the building so that it would be an attractive space for the community around us as well.
[108.00 --> 114.40] And, you know, and then I look at, you know, near the week when Tot Romp and Storytime and Pickleball and Sunday services.
[114.40 --> 117.18] And I see, you know, how God has blessed us.
[117.22 --> 118.42] And I'm so grateful for that.
[118.42 --> 123.60] I was also looking through our website the other day.
[124.14 --> 125.92] And I saw that opening slide.
[126.04 --> 128.58] And the opening slide said, a church for Clayton Heights.
[130.34 --> 132.80] This is a church for the community around us.
[134.50 --> 135.58] That's our vision.
[135.76 --> 136.58] That's our mission.
[137.68 --> 139.92] And then under the section, who are we?
[140.22 --> 141.72] And it said, Hope's DNA.
[142.20 --> 143.76] And this is what it said underneath that.
[144.16 --> 146.68] We believe the Bible is God's word.
[146.68 --> 149.72] It is a true story of the whole world.
[151.34 --> 154.68] And we invite people as a community.
[155.22 --> 163.18] We invite them to belong and believe and become part of that story and become more and more like Jesus.
[165.30 --> 174.48] And with that, we need to live out this gospel story in the way we live.
[174.48 --> 178.62] We need to see what falsehoods we believe.
[178.88 --> 184.24] What false gospels we hold on to in our cultural time and context and lives.
[184.64 --> 194.78] And we, we need to be transformed and empowered by God to show the world around us what true life looks like in Jesus Christ.
[194.78 --> 198.60] That's what we're doing.
[199.76 --> 204.66] To be a people who live out their lives from the gospel, not just with words.
[205.04 --> 210.42] And today I'd like to look at how that gospel ought to be operating in your life and mind.
[210.42 --> 215.32] We're going to continue our study of Paul's letter to the Galatians.
[215.56 --> 219.14] Pastor Dave introduced us to the series last week.
[219.48 --> 224.58] Comparing Paul's letter to the Galatians to an angry email.
[225.62 --> 230.94] No, I'm not going to have Jerry Hanlon come up and rip into us again like he did last week.
[231.22 --> 233.94] But, you know, Paul's upset though.
[234.10 --> 234.90] That was the point.
[235.00 --> 235.58] An angry email.
[235.58 --> 240.12] He's upset with what's happening to the truth of the gospel in Galatia.
[240.76 --> 244.66] This is anger out of love for the gospel and love for people.
[245.68 --> 247.78] The gospel is at stake.
[248.42 --> 250.50] And when that gets messed with, he's upset.
[250.88 --> 253.06] The identity of the church is at stake.
[253.42 --> 256.62] Our unity in Christ is at stake.
[256.86 --> 258.00] This is a big deal.
[258.00 --> 267.82] And the agitators, as they were called, the Judaizers, are giving the Gentiles a gospel that is Jesus plus.
[268.42 --> 269.84] I always remember that from last week.
[270.28 --> 272.44] Jesus and some other things.
[273.34 --> 282.42] And Pastor Dave challenged us with our attempts to create Jesus plus gospels as opposed to, as we sang, Christ alone.
[282.42 --> 286.14] Jesus plus religious experiences.
[286.34 --> 288.08] Jesus plus cultural influences.
[288.30 --> 290.44] Jesus plus material prosperity.
[290.86 --> 293.10] Jesus plus safety and comfort.
[293.42 --> 294.66] And you can fill in the blanks.
[294.74 --> 296.06] Jesus plus and what else.
[296.88 --> 301.60] And we're asked then, we were asked then, is Jesus enough?
[303.38 --> 304.34] Is he enough?
[305.28 --> 308.00] This is going to sound like a real basic message.
[308.14 --> 309.18] And in a way it is.
[309.18 --> 315.14] But I want to go beyond just head knowledge here.
[316.16 --> 319.36] This is what Paul's trying to get across to his letter to the Galatians.
[319.58 --> 321.16] So let's look at it together.
[321.30 --> 323.48] Galatians 2, 11 through 21.
[324.40 --> 331.14] We start off with kind of the point of conflict in the passage here.
[331.88 --> 332.74] So we start off.
[332.96 --> 334.98] When Cephas, and that's Peter.
[335.32 --> 336.72] Cephas is the Greek for that.
[336.72 --> 346.54] When Peter, so he's an apostle, came to Antioch, I, that's Paul, opposed him to his face because he stood condemned.
[347.74 --> 353.32] For before certain men came from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles.
[353.32 --> 368.78] But when they, these are the Judaizers, arrived, he began to draw back and separate himself from the Gentiles because he was afraid of those who belonged to the circumcision group.
[370.20 --> 372.56] I'm not sure that's the best name I'd want to gather under.
[372.56 --> 384.12] But anyway, the other Jews joined him in his hypocrisy so that by their hypocrisy, even Barnabas, another leader of the church, was led astray.
[385.22 --> 386.94] Okay, there's the point of conflict.
[386.94 --> 395.96] Now, Paul, when I saw that they were not acting in line with the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas in front of them all,
[395.96 --> 425.94] I said to Cephas in front of them all,
[425.94 --> 433.16] And not by works of the law, because by works of the law, no one is justified.
[434.94 --> 441.16] But if in seeking to be justified in Christ, we Jews find ourselves also among the sinners, which we are,
[441.68 --> 444.44] doesn't that mean, does that mean that Christ promotes sin?
[444.80 --> 445.88] Because that was one of the arguments.
[446.18 --> 447.08] And absolutely not.
[447.08 --> 450.50] If I rebuild what I destroyed, then I really would be a lawbreaker.
[451.08 --> 456.16] For through the law, I died to the law so that I might live for God.
