Pastor Jeff Dye continues the series through Galatians with a message from Galatians 5:13–26, exploring what it means to truly walk by the Spirit.

In Week 5 of our series through Galatians, Pastor Jeff Dye explores Galatians 3:19–4:9 and answers an important question: If following the law cannot save us or make us righteous, what is the purpose of God’s law? The Apostle Paul describes the law as a “guardian” that points us toward

In this powerful message from Northcliffe Church, Pastor Jerry walks through Gospel of Mark chapter 10 to reveal a truth many people—just like the disciples—often miss: Jesus didn’t come first as King, but as Savior.

Reflecting the humility that we value in disciples of Jesus, teachability is a reflection of the reality that we don’t know everything. God is always teaching us something that we might better reflect His character in our lives and relationships. We can learn from God’s Word, the circumstances He is
