Pastor Michael Walker expounds upon the message of the gospel as a message of freedom in Yeshua, and discusses how legalism seeks to add unnecessary rules and requirements to one’s spiritual walk… taking away the freedom Yeshua has provided.
Just as the early church faced a conflict between Jewish and Gentile believers over the issue of legalism that threatened to divide the church… we too must remember that salvation is by grace through faith in Yeshua alone, not by works or adherence to the Mosaic law.
God desires unity among believers, not division caused by legalistic attitudes.Believers should not judge or burden one another over matters of personal conviction or preference in worship.

Pastor Michael Walker discusses the worry and anxiety that we all face in our lives, especially in the current “crazy times” we are living in. Worry is a significant problem that steals our thoughts, peace, joy, confidence, and faith. It is unhealthy, unproductive, unbecoming of believers, and ultimately a form of unbelief.
Pastor Michael provides a biblical solution to overcome worry, using an acrostic (STOP IT):
Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness
Turn immediately to God in prayer
Own those worries no more by casting them upon God
Ponder the things that are true and good
Initiate positive actions
Take it one day at a time
