A Turn Toward Spirit Life
This Sunday we will enjoy worshipping our Lord together. As we’ve walked through the book of Galatians, we’ve seen the gospel of Christ unfold before us. We’ve also come to realize that the message which frees us is so easily twisted and manipulated which robs it of its power.
This Sunday, Pastor Jim Renke is leading us through Galatians 5:7-15. These verses make the turn from knowing about the gospel, to living out the gospel as we trust in the love of Christ and walk in the power of the Spirit.
