Grace Without Boundaries pt 2

June 19, 2024

Pastor Al Pittman is currently taking us through the book of Galatians - a letter written by Paul to a group of believers who had been seriously misled by false teachers. They had been taught by Paul that the gospel message was for Jews and Gentiles alike, but they had then been misled into believing that the gentiles were disqualified.

The Galatians talked a good game, but they actually had let false teaching and bigotry creep into their midst, and were preaching a gospel that contradicted the truth. Pastor Al is going to share some frank words about racism today. In today’s American Christian church, we tend to sweep racism under the carpet and pretend it doesn’t exist. Well, unfortunately, it does.

The grace of God is definitely something to be thankful for, and grace is the topic as we continue Al’s new series in Galatians. As we begin a look at chapter two today, Paul has set the stage for his theme in this letter. The churches in Galatia had fallen victim to false teaching. Of course, there was some backlash, but here in chapter two, Paul defends his authority to preach the gospel, and he defends the gospel message as well.

as we continue in Galatians one today, we are going to continue to see Paul’s angry reaction to his beloved friends in Galatia turning to a false gospel. Paul had taught them a gospel based on the grace of God, and the Galatians had turned to a gospel of works. Paul was thoroughly ticked!

Today we begin a series in Paul’s letter to the Galatian church. The underlying theme of this series is going to be one word - grace. The churches in Galatia had strayed away from the truths Paul had taught them when the church was formed. Salvation through grace was the corner stone, and the Galatians had listened to the wrong teachers after Paul left, and now they believed they had to work for their salvation.

Today we bring you Al’s final message in his verse by verse series through Colossians. If you summed up this letter, it would be a loving warning to the church of Colossi that they had strayed from the true gospel and were more interested in philosophy and “higher thought” than  the real message of repentance and salvation through Christ. Sound familiar? That’s what’s so great about God’s word - it’s as relevant today as it was when these words were written.

Have you ever had that feeling that someone was watching you? Well, if you’re a Christian, that feeling is legitimate, because the world is watching. We have an awesome responsibility as believers to live a pure and holy life - so the world will see the difference Christ has made in our lives.

We are currently traveling through First Thessalonians, where we begin chapter two today. We’ll be looking at some of the instructions given by the apostle Paul on how to effectively live out the Christian life.

Today, as we continue our series through Colossians, as we look at chapter four, verses two through four. Here, the apostle Paul gives some sage advice about prayer. Prayer is a wonderful gift from God, but it’s wasted by far too many Christians. Can your prayer life be described as “vigilant”?

About Al Pittman

Al was born in Panama City, Florida in 1955. His father was a career soldier, so the family traveled extensively.

Soon after, Al realized God’s call on  his life and began serving in the music ministry as a bass guitarist with a Christian band  called, “The Rays of Light.” It was during this time that Al met Norma, and they were married on July 19, 1975. 

Al attended Nazarene Bible College in Colorado Springs, graduating in 1977 with a degree in Biblical Studies. In 1991 Al and his family moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico, and two years later he joined the staff of Calvary Chapel Albuquerque as an assistant pastor and co-worship leader. In the spring of 1997 the Lord called Al and his family back to Colorado Springs to pastor Calvary Worship Center. In 2006, Al earned his Master’s degree and in 2012 he earned his Doctorate degree in Ministry from Trinity Southwest University in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Al and Norma are the proud parents of three children, Renee, Nathan and Reggie, as well as proud grandparents.
