What makes you angry reveals what you value. In this message, Pastor Eric looks at what makes Paul angry in Galatians 1:6-10. The gospel is being corrupted, and Paul sets out to defend the gospel. Along the way, we learn why the gospel is so precious and why we must defend it.
We had a great time at Reformapalooza last Sunday! We want to give a big thanks to all those who worked together to make it happen. We’ll have the pictures up soon. Until then, take a moment to think about the Reformation and all the saints who defended the gospel. There’s a reason why we celebrate. We wouldn’t be here without them. Also, check out the article excerpt below. It gives a clear picture of why the Reformation is so important.
What is Reformation Day? It is the day the light of the gospel broke forth out of darkness. It was the day that began the Protestant Reformation. It was a day that led to Martin Luther, John Calvin, John Knox, and many other Reformers helping the church find its way back to God’s Word as the only supreme authority for faith and life and leading the church back to the glorious doctrines of justification by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. It kindled the fires of missionary endeavors, it led to hymn writing and congregational singing, and it led to the centrality of the sermon and preaching for the people of God. It is the celebration of a theological, ecclesiastical, and cultural transformation.
So we celebrate Reformation Day. This day reminds us to be thankful for our past and to the monk turned Reformer. What’s more, this day reminds us of our duty, our obligation, to keep the light of the gospel at the center of all we do.

Each year, our worship team gets together with our sister churches for a day long band camp. They spend time singing, learning, practicing, and praying in order to better serve our churches each Sunday. To that end, we want to take a moment and thank them for all they do. We’re grateful to be in a church with members who love to serve the body of Christ. Click below to see the video recap.

Last Sunday, we began our series on Galatians. This is the apostle Paul’s most explosive letter. He had never written anything like this before. Even in the first few verses, we begin to notice several things that set this letter apart. Listen as Pastor Eric preaches from Galatians 1:1-5 and helps us receive this letter as God’s authentic Word.
