Cross Walk Caleb & Chuck Jeffers

"Who are you to judge me?!" Ever had that one thrown in your face? 

If you've ever tried to confront, counsel, support, or in any way address someone else's wrongdoing, you've probably heard it. Where does that come from? Well, it's a misquotation of Jesus's words in Matthew 7. 

In this episode we look at how Paul lays out a similar argument for bearing one another's burdens and thereby fulfilling the "law of Christ."

Ah, the Princess Bride. . . what a classic. Inigo Montoya may have been on to something. . .  

Many people mistake their freedom and liberty in Christ as an opportunity to do what they want. Anything they want - even flirting with sin. 

But Paul lays out a very different purpose for this freedom that Jesus died for. We hope you listen in and live in the freedom of Christ for God's glory and other people's good.

"I'm basically a good person, though."
"I do this and that, but those aren't so bad. I have good heart." 
"I'm a better person than . . . " 
Can't tell you how many times we've heard these. The problem with statements like these are that we use to them to justify ourselves and make the case for why we shouldn't face any sort of judgment or accountability for our sins. But the Bible paints a very different picture. . .  Paul spells out that we are guilty before God and can't rely on our own goodness. When we think we're good enough, we end up like modern day Pharisees, placing demands and expectations on people that we ourselves haven't even truly mastered. We pray you're filled with grace and humility as you listen to Galatians Part 4.

I'm not good enough to be a Muslim. . . . or a Jehovah's Witness or Taoist or anything else that requires moralistic behaviors to secure salvation or attainment of good in the afterlife.



In this episode we dive into Galatians 3 and Paul's explanation of grace as THE means of salvation and NOT keeping a set of rules (aka the Old Testament Law). It becomes very clear that Paul's understanding of Jesus's work means that no one is justified by the works of the Law but only by grace through faith. We hope you're filled with grace and humility as you listen.

If you're relying on your works, your patterns of behavior, or your "goodness" to make you right with God. . . . you're WRONG. It's time to stop wasting God's grace and truly live in a full understanding of the gospel. In this episode, we tackle Galatians 2 and explore why Paul would say , "then Jesus died for nothing."

Ever thought "your" gospel might be wrong? Whether we like to admit it or not, sometimes we're prone to take in ideas that sound good but simply don't line up with the gospel of Jesus Christ. In this episode, we dive into Paul's letter to the churches in Galatia, where he laid down the charge of following a different gospel. It's a charge that could just as easily apply to churches today. Whether it's so-called "progressive" Christians diluting the gospel of Jesus and mixing it with New Age religions or hyper-fundamentalists living out a "Jesus + works" type of salvation, we can all be a little guilty of preaching the wrong gospel.
