Grace and peace from the Lord Jesus for worship this Sunday! As we open with some cross cultural greetings, lovely worship singing ‘Come people of the risen king’, we also acknowledge all mothers as we celebrate Mother’s Day in our multiethnic community. This week also initiates Part 1 of our sermon series on Galatians as we explore the context of Paul’s amazing letter. Paul works very hard to warn and correct all the Galatian churches that he’s planted that have begun to follow various deceived leaders giving them a ‘false gospel’ of works righteousness; attaching conditions, and rules about following the Jewish Torah in addition to their faith in Christ to secure their salvation. It is a fascinating letter and I look forward to sharing more with you over the coming weeks and how this message still speaks into our lives.
Pastor Matt
