I’ll admit it. The writings of Paul feel like home to me. If there is a place I want to make a beeline to in the Bible, outside of John’s Gospel, it’s the letters of Paul. But Galatians has always been a challenge for me. And in the spirit of leaning into a good challenge,Continue reading “Why Galatians?”

Why Malachi?
Why Malachi? Why in the world would we do a sermon series on the book of Malachi? You might be asking, Isn’t there something more relevant we could study in the Bible? That’s a fair question.

It’s another Sunday morning! You may not realize this, but Sunday mornings are “Go!” time in pastoral ministry.
