Pointing Lives to Christ

Galatians Lesson #18 -- "The Struggle is Real!"

Galatians 5:126 ~ 18 gives us clear proof that the stuggle is real. Furthermore, the struggle is indeed winable, but only if we yield to the leading and direction of the Holy Spirit. Pastor Dan also points us back to the 7th chapter of Romans to help us understand how all of Scripture fits together in a way that only a Holy and eternal God could have accomplished.

Galatians Lesson #17 -- "Using Freedom Wisely to Serve"

Galatians 5:13 ~ 15 is todays text: How we use our freedom in Christ is the greatest of issues facing the church today. Pastor Dan not only confronts the issue, but he grabs it and brings it to the very forefront of our thinking. How we love each other is by serving each other...serving each other in the love of Christ.
 
 

Galatians Lesson #16 -- "Using Our Freedom Wisely"

Pastor Dan continues his exposition of the book of Galatians with this strong admonition from the 5th chapter. Using our freedom wisely is not a license to live in liberty nor is it reason to allow false doctrine in to your life (or the church). Verse 9 has warning about a small amount of leaven and how even the smallest amount of untruth polutes thoroughly.
As you listen through thismessage Pastor Dan will reference several verses (Romans 6:17; 1 Peter 1:22; Deut. 23:1 and 1 Cor. 1: 18, 21~23). We would recommend that you take opportunity to read long with him as he references these passages.

Galatians Lesson #15 -- "What Really Counts?"

Galatians paints a chrystal clear picture of What Really Counts and some of us may find we have it wrong. During this week of terrible events, we realize that God's word speaks straight to our heart and to the issue of where our focus should be.
Follow along as we work through the 15th installment from the book of Galatians. This morning we will be looking in to chapter 5 verses 1 through 6.

Galatians Lesson #14 -- "Two Mothers, Two Sons, Two Covenants"

When we accept Christ, we free ourselves from being sons of slavery. We become sons of freedom instead. 

Galatians Lesson #13 -- "Christ Formed in You"

Legalism is a dangerous practice. Many of us don't realize we're doing it, but it prevents the forming of Christ-likeness in our lives.

Galatians Lesson #12 -- "From Slaves to Sons"

"Daddy"  To a fathers ear no greater expression of love can be found. As Pastor Scarberry continues our journey through Galatians he delves deeper in to this great truth. In Christ we are no longer slaves...we are the children of God..How incredible is that!

Steady in Prayer -- Colossians 4:2

Steady in Prayer! How many of us wish to be known by this trait? It isn't something that can be easily attained, nor is it to be passed off as a platitude. 

The Four Be's for 2018

The start of a new year...What "things" does the new year old? Resoliutions?  No resolutions? Pastor Dan gives an easy guide from 2 Peter 3:14 ~ 18 on things to Be in 2018. 
From the Podcasting ministry of JIBC we want to wish each and every one of you a Blessed and Grace filled 2018. May God find us faithful as we find Him to be even more so!

Christmas Coming

From the promise to Adam and Eve, to the baby in the manger and now to the coming judge. Jesus is King of Kings and here we see Him coming to press out the wrath of judgement against a sinful world. Revelation 19 paints a sure, but still future event... How far in the future is only for God to know.
