As he introduces a two-part series of messages on Gospel-centered parenting, Pastor Rob contrasts our culture's emphasis on behavior and performance with parenting that focuses on the heart of the Gospel: our radical brokenness and God's radical love.

Pastor Lon begins this message with a beautiful reminder that it is through us, His children, that God mothers and fathers the world. Turning to the Old Testament account of Esther, he explores her role in protecting and advocating for her people—and the example she is for all of us in reflecting God's love and power.

As we conclude this series on the parable of The Prodigal Son, Pastor Rob looks at the father and the love he shows to both his sons. He then looks at four aspects of God's love pictured in this story, and how they illustrate the breadth and beauty of His love for us through Jesus.

Jesus is a storyteller, Pastor Lon says, and one of his best-known stories is the Parable of the Prodigal Son. In part two of our three-week study of that parable, we're focusing on the elder brother: a rule keeper, the "good" son—and a character with which many of us will identify.

On this day of celebration, Pastor Rob talks about hope—and the role it plays in every human soul. While hope in our society today appears to be on the decline, he explains how what happened on Easter can provide each of us with unparalleled positive expectations for the future.

Entering into what is known as Holy Week, we join millions of Christians around the world in reflecting on the amazing historical events leading up to Christ’s death and resurrection. Following Christ’s joyous and celebrated entry into Jerusalem, we know things moved quickly. And in this Palm Sunday message, Pastor Rob looks at what occurred the very next day—and how Christ’s actions on that Monday set the tone for what would follow—and still offer powerful insights for us today.

As we conclude our series in Galatians, Pastor Rob offers a powerful reminder of the freedom that Christ bought through His death and resurrection—and how that impacts our lives as we first place our faith in Him, and in every day that follows.

As we continue our series on the freedom that comes through faith in Jesus Christ, Pastor Rob turns to one of the most practical sections in the book of Galatians. Recognizing that Christians live with an ongoing battle against our sinful nature, he walks through six specific characteristics that mark a life being changed by the Spirit.

Our culture has many definitions for the word freedom. But in the book of Galatians, Pastor Hanibal says, that term has a very specific meaning—one that can empower Christ-followers to break free of their bonds and experience real freedom in every area of their lives.

A longing for freedom is common to all people in every place. As we continue our series in Galatians, Pastor Lon talks about the greatest freedom of all—freedom of the soul. He begins with Paul's heartfelt cry at the start of chapter 5: "It was for freedom that Christ set us free."

As he continues our studies in Galatians, Pastor Rob looks at how Paul's letter reflects his deep love and care for the young church as it is threatened by manipulative false teachers—and how Paul's tough but caring message to the Galatians brings a critically important warning to the Church today.

Idolatry is not a normal desire for something evil but an over desire for something good. As we study Galatians 4:8—20, Pastor Rob invites us to take a deeper look into our hearts and search for any idols that may be taking us away from Him. Additionally, Pastor Rob gives a few tips we can use to combat against idolatry in our lives and choose Him.

Continuing our series on the freedom found in the Gospel of Christ, Pastor Rob looks at two fundamental truths about a believer's new reality as a follower of Christ. Exploring texts in Galatians and Romans, he examines both our union with Christ and our adoption as children of God.

Even in our increasingly irreligious culture, worth is most often based on performance. As Pastor Rob continues a series on the Freedom found in the Gospel of Christ, he looks at one of life's most critical questions: How does a person become right with God? The answer is one the Galatians and those of us who follow Christ today, too easily forget.

Continuing our studies in Galatians, Iglesia del Pueblo Lead Pastor Hanibal Rodriguez unpacks a tough-love message from the apostle Paul, warning the young church at Galatia about a perilous error that had crept into their beliefs.

If you are trying to gain God's approval by carefully obeying a set of rules, you'll want to listen closely to Pastor Lon's message from Galatians 2. There's nothing wrong with rules, he says, unless they are substituted for the truth of the Gospel and the pure freedom if offers to those who embrace it.

Continuing our series of Paul's letter to the Galatians, Pastor Lon examines the apostle's own story—of his dramatic conversion and his transformation from persecutor of Christians to become one of the most effective evangelists and teachers in the history of the Christian faith.

From its opening words, Paul's purpose in writing his letter to the Galatians is clear: this young church must never add anything to—or take anything away from—the redeeming Gospel of Jesus Christ. In this first message of an extended study of Galatians, Pastor Rob unpacks that core message of this powerful New Testament book.

Sometimes our best hopes for a new year are undone by our own wrong choices. Other times our good intentions fall victim to circumstances beyond our control. Whatever has caused your good intentions to falter in the past, Pastor Rob points us to the book of Genesis for a fresh vision for God in 2017.
