Galatians 3 series

Yesterday we had an awesome church service.  It’s only Monday and I can wait to get together with the WestK family next week as we respond to God’s greatness in corporate worship. 

 

Yesterday we started our new sermon series where we’re going through Galatians 3.  If you want a title to this series, I am unofficially calling it the “Performance Trap.”  We started it off by covering Galatians 3:1-5 and the performance trap of: you must become a better you.  If you didn’t get a chance to hear the message yesterday, I would encourage you to listen to it online at WestK.org.  A summary of yesterday’s message – God’s love is not dependent on your performance and it is not achieved, but rather received.

 

This next week we will be covering Galatians 3:6-9.  The message will be surrounding the lie that “your past defines you.”  I am very excited about this series and what God is going to do with it as we become saturated with Galatians 3!

 

Over the past 2 weeks, I have had a couple of different people approach me with the idea of doing a finance class that would lay out a biblical model to our finances.  I have also had a couple of people ask me about tithing.  About 5 years ago, a number of members of WestK went through the Dave Ramsey Financial Peace University.  This is an awesome program that really lays out a solid financial plan for people of all walks of life and levels of income.  It approaches it from a biblical prospective and has helps thousands of people to not only get out of debt, but to no longer feel like a slave to their finances.  It is a 9 week program and costs $100 per family.  I know that $100 is a lot of money, but I have never known someone who has gone through this course and regretted it.  In fact, most people who go through this course will tell you that it is the best investment they ever made.  I wonder how many people would be interested in doing this.  If this is something you would attend on a Sunday night, please let me know.  This would be something that we would start in the Fall.  

 

Don’t forget to keep up-to-date with all the events and ministry happenings that are coming up.  You can find that information on the website and in the church bulletins.
