Emmanuel Community Church Sermon Podcast

This weekend, we'll step into Holy Week with a look at a detail it's easy to miss when we talk about the Triumphal Entry of Jesus into Jerusalem, His death, and His resurrection. We're going to look at the veil in the temple that set apart the Holy of Holies. While Mark 11:1-11 doesn't speak to the veil directly, it does show us Jesus' focus on the temple, and how that set the scene for all that would come next.

This weekend, we'll follow Paul deeper into his explanation of what it looks like to be led by the Spirit. In Galatians 6:1-10, we'll be invited to take all that we've heard so far and begin applying it to a few more key areas of our lives.

This weekend, we'll follow Paul as he shifts his letter to the Galatians into an exploration of what it looks like to live in Gospel Freedom. In Galatians 5:13-18, we'll begin to explore what it means to walk in the Spirit.

This weekend, we finish our series called Sons and Daughters. We'll be in Galatians 4:21-5:1 and look at Paul in a familiar story from what may be a new angle for us. We'll get a look at another way the Lord was weaving gospel freedom into His Word from the beginning.

This weekend, we’ll explore what it means to move from slavery to sonship, why Paul is so alarmed that the Galatians want to turn back, and how crying out “Abba, Father” reshapes the way we live...especially when life gets hard.

THIS WEEKEND, we’ll look at Galatians 3:15–22 and trace Paul’s argument back to its roots. He reminds the Galatians that God’s promise to Abraham ultimately finds its fulfillment in Christ. The Law, which came later, serves a purpose, but it was never meant to replace the promise. Together, we’ll explore how this strong reminder still speaks to our modern temptation to earn what’s already been given by grace.

This weekend, we’ll step back into our study of Galatians by picking it up in chapter 3. There, we’ll see the apostle Paul shift his letter to the wayward Galatian church into gear. Up to this point, he has been making the case that distorting the gospel destroys it. Now, like a courageous and loving friend, he confronts his readers with the fact that they’re wrong. They’ve fallen for a dangerous false gospel that we’re all prone to fall for if we’re not careful.

Our Christmas Eve services will conclude our Christmas series. We’ve been tracking God's promise from Genesis 3:15 through centuries of Scripture. We’ve been learning from God’s people to cultivate our hope in His guarantee that He’ll make all things new through the Promised Child. And as we prepare our hearts for Christmas morning, we’ll see how God’s word makes it clear that Jesus is the One who’d been promised all along. His birth was the beginning of the fulfillment of God’s promise to make all things new.
