    Galatians 4:8-31, Freedom In Jesus - Divine Grace vs. Legalism
     
    Have you ever found yourself trying to earn God's favor, feeling like your worth is tied to how well you follow the rules? In his message, "Freedom in Jesus: Divine Grace vs. Legalism," Pastor JC Cooper unpacks Galatians 4:8-31, where the Apostle Paul pleads with the Galatian believers not to turn back to the bondage of the law. Through a powerful illustration from the Old Testament—the contrast between Ishmael, the son of slavery, and Isaac, the son of promise—Paul reminds us that we are saved by grace alone, not by our own efforts. Pastor JC brings this truth to life, revealing how legalism creeps into our walk with Christ and how only God's grace leads to true freedom.
     
    This message is an invitation to step out of the exhausting cycle of performance-based faith and into the liberating grace of Jesus. Pastor JC challenges us to examine our hearts: Are we living as children of promise, resting in God's love, or are we striving to earn His approval? This teaching will encourage, convict, and realign your heart with the gospel’s central truth—salvation is a gift, not a transaction. Don’t miss this opportunity to be refreshed and renewed in the freedom that Christ has secured for you!

    Galatians 3:26-4:7, Our Rich Inheritance in Jesus Christ
     
    Are you living like an heir of God’s kingdom, or just a hired worker trying to get by? Too many believers go through life unsure of the richness of their inheritance in Christ—living under rules and striving for approval rather than embracing the incredible freedom of being God’s child. In “Our Rich Inheritance in Jesus Christ,” Pastor David Menard unpacks Galatians 3:26-4:7, revealing that in God’s kingdom, there are no employees—only sons and daughters who are full heirs of His promises. With clarity and depth, he explains how faith in Jesus brings us into a family where we are not just accepted but adopted with full rights as God’s children. This message will challenge the way you see yourself in Christ and help you grasp the life-changing truth of your spiritual inheritance.
     
    Don’t miss this powerful teaching that will transform your faith! As Pastor David walks through this passage, he highlights how the law was never meant to make us righteous but to point us to Jesus, who fulfilled it perfectly on our behalf. If you’ve ever struggled with guilt, performance-based faith, or feeling like you don’t measure up, this message will encourage and equip you. The truth is, in Christ, you are no longer a slave to sin or striving—you are a beloved child of God with an eternal inheritance. Listen in and discover the freedom, security, and joy that come with knowing who you truly are in Him!

    Galatians 3:10-29, The problem with God’s law & The power of God’s promise.
     
    Do you feel like your relationship with God is a never-ending roller coaster of trying to be “good enough”? One day, you feel confident in your faith, and the next, you’re weighed down by guilt and failure. In The Problem with God’s Law & The Power of God’s Promise, Pastor David Menard unpacks Galatians 3:10-29, revealing how the churches in Galatia had fallen into the same trap that many believers struggle with today—trying to earn righteousness through performance-based religion. But Paul’s message is clear: no one can be justified by the law. Instead, true freedom comes from embracing the promise of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ.
     
    This powerful teaching will challenge the way you think about your relationship with God. Are you striving to earn His love, or are you resting in the gift of His grace? As you listen, you’ll be reminded that righteousness has always been a gift—one that cannot be earned but is freely given through Christ. Whether you’ve been caught in the exhausting cycle of legalism or simply need a renewed sense of God’s grace, this message will encourage you to let go of self-reliance and step into the joy and security of faith in Jesus. Don’t miss this opportunity to experience the true freedom that comes from trusting in God’s promise!

    Galatians 3:1-14, How to Live a Spirit-Led Life
     
    What does it truly mean to live a Spirit-led life? Is it about experiencing dramatic supernatural events, or is it something deeper—more transformative in our daily walk? In this week’s message, titled How to Live a Spirit-Led Life, Pastor David Menard takes us through Galatians 3:1-14, revealing the biblical blueprint for being led by the Holy Spirit. He challenges us to move beyond misconceptions and embrace the reality that the Holy Spirit is not just a force but a person—one who guides, empowers, and transforms our hearts from the inside out. Through a compelling exposition of Scripture, we see that the Spirit-led life is not about striving to be good but about walking in relationship with Jesus, surrendering our will, and stepping out in faith.
     
    If you’ve ever felt stuck in the cycle of trying harder, yet falling short, this message is for you. Pastor David unpacks how the battle between the flesh and the Spirit is one we cannot win on our own—but by relying on the Holy Spirit, we are set free from sin’s control and empowered to live with love, joy, and peace. This message is an invitation to stop striving and start trusting, to experience the freedom of a life fully surrendered to God. Don’t miss this opportunity to discover how to walk in the Spirit daily, experiencing His power and presence in a way that transforms every part of your life.

    Have you ever felt the pressure to perform to earn God’s love? In The Deceptive Snares of Performance Based Religion, Pastor David Menard walks through Galatians 2:11-21, where Paul confronts Peter for falling into legalism. This powerful passage reveals that no one is justified by works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ alone. God’s grace is freely given, not earned through performance, and Paul reminds us that our righteousness comes from Christ’s sacrifice, not our efforts.
     
    Come and listen as Pastor David challenges us to let go of self-righteousness and embrace the freedom of God’s grace. You don’t have to strive to earn God’s love—His grace is already yours through faith in Jesus. This message invites you to break free from performance-based religion and find rest in the finished work of Christ.

    Has the gospel you believe in been distorted? In a world where truth is constantly challenged and redefined, how can we be sure we are standing firm in the true gospel of Jesus Christ? In his message, The Gospel Under Attack, Pastor David Menard unpacks the powerful truths of Galatians 1 and 2, revealing how the early church faced—and defended against—attempts to distort the message of salvation by grace alone through faith alone. Through Paul’s bold defense at the Jerusalem Council, we see that the gospel is not just a theological concept but a life-altering truth that sets us free from the bondage of legalism and self-righteousness.
     
    This message is a call to examine our own hearts—are we resting in the finished work of Christ, or are we subtly adding our own efforts to salvation? As Pastor David unfolds these passages, you’ll be challenged to embrace the true gospel with renewed confidence and clarity. Whether you’ve wrestled with doubt, struggled with guilt, or simply want to deepen your understanding of God’s grace, this teaching will equip you to stand firm in the faith.

Before stepping into his calling, Paul spent three years in Arabia, learning directly from Jesus. Like a jeweler refining gold, God removes impurities from our lives so His image can be seen in us.
     
    Come and listen as Pastor David unpacks how God builds us in the silent seasons, shaping our hearts before sending us out. Paul’s story reminds us that God’s timing is perfect, His refining is necessary, and He is always at work, even when we can’t see it.

    Matthew 2:1-12, The Gift Of Worship
     
    Since God needs nothing from us, what gift could we possibly offer Him? In the final message of The Gifts of Christmas series, titled The Gift of Worship, Pastor JC Cooper invites us to explore this profound question. Drawing from Matthew 2:1-12, we journey with the wise men, whose sacrificial worship reflects the heart of true devotion. They traveled far, bringing gifts of immense value, not out of obligation, but as an act of heartfelt surrender. Their journey reminds us that worship is more than a moment; it is a lifestyle of giving our best to God. Through their story, we see that true worship calls us to recognize God’s worth and respond in ways that transform our priorities.
     
    Similarly, we are invited to offer ourselves fully to God as an act of worship. Rather than confining worship to Sunday mornings, we must embrace it as a daily response to His goodness, rooted in obedience and gratitude. This includes our time, resources, and the way we live out our faith in every aspect of life. When we give to God from the best of what we have, our worship deepens and our lives are enriched with purpose and joy. Ultimately, this message challenges us to see worship not as a duty, but as a privilege that brings us closer to the heart of God. How is He calling you to worship Him today?

    Is it possible that God's plans are greater than anything we could imagine, even when they disrupt our own plans? In this message, Pastor JC Cooper explores Matthew 1:18-25, where we witness God’s extraordinary plan to bring Jesus into the world. This divine intervention turned Joseph and Mary’s lives upside down, reminding us that God’s purpose often challenges our expectations, yet always leads to something far more meaningful than we could ever design ourselves.
     
    For Joseph, this meant navigating the weight of uncertainty and risking his reputation to obey God’s call. His choice to trust and step into the unknown ultimately aligned him with an extraordinary purpose. Like Joseph, when we surrender our fears and trust God’s leading, our lives can be transformed into a story of divine grace and purpose that goes beyond our imagination.

    What can an ancient genealogy teach us about God’s extraordinary love for humanity? This week, we continue The Gifts of Christmas series with the message The Gift of Grace, taught by Pastor JC Cooper. In Matthew 1:1-17, the lineage of Jesus Christ reveals more than history—it showcases God’s boundless grace. The stories of Abraham, Rahab, David, and Tamar highlight how God works through broken, sinful people to fulfill His promises. These names remind us that grace is not earned; it is freely given.
     
    Furthermore, the genealogy emphasizes God’s unchanging faithfulness. It reassures us that no sin or failure can separate us from His love. Through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, we see the ultimate fulfillment of God’s promise of salvation. As we reflect on this truth during the Christmas season, let us embrace the gift of grace that transforms and restores us.

    Genesis 3, The Gift of Hope
     
    This week, we kick off our Christmas series, The Gifts of Christmas, with the first message titled The Gift of Hope, taught by Pastor JC Cooper. Genesis 3 reveals the first glimmer of God’s redemption plan in response to the fall of Adam and Eve. Despite the deception of Satan, the rebellion of Adam, and the curse of sin and death, God introduces hope—a promise that one day the offspring of the woman will crush the serpent's head. This hope points directly to the coming of Jesus Christ, who was born to rescue us from sin.
     
    As Pastor JC teaches from Genesis 3:1–15, we see God’s relentless love in action. He pursues sinners, offers redemption, and sets His rescue plan into motion through the promise of a Savior. This message sheds light on why the birth of Jesus is so much more than a sentimental tradition; it is the fulfillment of God’s promise to bring salvation. The hope of Christmas, rooted in the gospel, gives us confidence that God’s promises are true—He has come, and He will come again.

    Do you feel like the world around you has lost its way? In this inspiring sermon titled "God's Sovereignty Over the Nations," Pastor David Menard shows how Daniel's experience in Babylon mirrors our own today. Even though Daniel lived in a culture that turned away from God, he stayed faithful and chose not to let his surroundings influence him. Pastor David urges us to do the same, reminding us that God's plans are much bigger than ours. As Daniel prayed and fasted, he discovered God's control over future nations and events. This teaches us that when we truly seek God, He reveals Himself to us.
     
    Moreover, Pastor David explains how God strengthens us even when we don't deserve it. Like Daniel, we often feel God's love and power but struggle with selfish tendencies. However, God's kindness leads us to change and grow. By focusing on Jesus, renewing our minds with His Word, and deciding to live for Him, we can shine brightly in a troubled world. So, be encouraged to trust in God's control, embrace His strength, and let your life show His glory.
