SUNDAY RECAP ✨| THE GOSPEL ON TRIAL

This Sunday, we continued our Grace Unchained series in Galatians 2:1–10 and were reminded of a truth worth defending:

Jesus is enough.

We are made right with God by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. Nothing we do can add to the finished work of Jesus.

Paul refused to compromise the Gospel because he knew what was at stake. Grace sets us free from trying to earn God’s love, unites us as one family in Christ, and moves us to put that grace into action.

We don’t obey to earn His love. We obey because, in Christ, we already have it.

So as we head into this week, ask yourself:

Am I trusting in Christ alone, or have I added something to Jesus?
Am I protecting Gospel unity or creating unnecessary division?
Where is grace calling me to take action?

The Gospel is worth believing, defending, preserving, and proclaiming.

Because Jesus alone is enough, and grace sets us free.

Galatians 2:1–10

So glad we got to volunteer with Hanahan High School Athletic Booster Club! It was a great night! Thank you for having us! Go Hawks!

What a Sunday! 🤍

We got to celebrate lives made new and people publicly declaring their faith in Jesus through baptism.

Baptism is more than a moment. It’s a picture of the Gospel and a declaration that the old is gone and new life has begun in Christ.

We’re so thankful for every story represented in these photos and for a church family that gets to celebrate together.

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.”
2 Corinthians 5:17

This is what it’s all about. 🌊

SUNDAY RECAP | NO OTHER GOSPEL✨
Galatians 1:6–10

There is no other Gospel.

Paul’s warning to the Galatians is clear: Jesus is enough.

The Gospel says we are saved by grace through faith, and our obedience flows from what Christ has already done. We don’t work our way to God. In Christ, the work is finished.

Jesus plus nothing equals everything.

This week, let’s guard the Gospel, stay rooted in truth, and ask ourselves: Am I resting in the grace of Jesus, or am I trying to earn what He has already freely given?

“The gospel is not ours to edit, improve, or adapt. It is ours to believe, defend, and proclaim.”

SUNDAY RECAP | GALATIANS 1:1–5 ☀️

We kicked off our journey through Galatians with a reminder at the very heart of the Gospel: grace is free.

We cannot earn God’s favor through rule keeping, good behavior, religious performance, or trying harder. Jesus gave Himself for our sins to rescue us, and His work is enough.

When we start adding our own performance to the Gospel, we trade freedom for slavery. But when we rest in what Christ has already accomplished, we are free to live from grace instead of striving for it.

The Gospel isn’t good advice about how to save ourselves. It is good news about what Jesus has already done.

Grace is not something we achieve. It is something we receive!

SUNDAY RECAP | SPIRIT & TRUTH 🙌

True worship isn’t limited to a song or a Sunday morning. Our whole lives are an opportunity to worship God.

Jesus tells us in John 4:23–24 that the Father is seeking those who worship Him in spirit and in truth. From a heart that genuinely desires to glorify Him, and a life rooted in the truth of His Word.

It’s not about the music style, whether your hands are raised, or how expressive you are.

It’s not about the style. It’s about the heart.

This week, ask yourself: Where in my life am I withholding true worship from God? 🧡
