Sunday Morning Worship

In 1776, Connecticut looked at their newfound freedom and immediately claimed the Pacific Ocean. The Apostle Paul's churches in Galatia got their freedom and immediately went back to their old religious rulebook. And David Foster Wallace thought we were all doing the same thing without even realizing it. This sermon draws a straight line from a bizarre footnote in American constitutional history to one of Paul's most misunderstood passages — and asks the question none of us really want to sit with: what are you actually serving? And is that what you want to be giving your life to?

Scripture References: Galatians 5:1-15

From Series: "Revolutionary Spirit"

250 years ago, the Bible was at the center of the argument for American revolution. Some texts fired people up. Others had to be argued around, twisted, and explained away. In this series we’re going back to those same texts — the inspiring ones and the uncomfortable ones — to ask what they actually say, what was done with them then, and what they still demand of us today.
