Before the millennial kingdom of the Lord is established, there are a series of events that must take place. Among them is satan’s battle for power... a battle that remarkably takes place not on earth, but in Heaven. We’re in Revelation chapter twelve.

Here in America, we consider it a courtesy to open and close a door for another person.  Today, we’ll observe God opening and closing doors for His children, and specifically the apostle Paul.  God sovereignly orchestrates the events of our lives, and that can be a great comfort to know.

There have been many examples over the decades of men and women who not only were saved by faith, but also walked and lived by faith. Today, Pastor Al Pittman will urge us to do likewise.  Galatians chapter four will be our text for today’s teaching.

 If we look at God’s law as a set of rules to follow in oder to get to heaven, we miss then point. We cannot obey the law perfectly, and the law points that out to us, so we must turn to faith in Christ for our salvation. Today on The Dwelling Place Pastor Al Pittman will elaborate as he continues his study of Galatians.

The law of God has no power to prevent sin - or redeem the sinner. Only grace can do that. That’s our theme on today’s The Dwelling Place with pastor Al Pittman.  The churches in Galatia had been deceived by false teachers, who had convinced them that they could be saved by works rather than grace. Let’s head over to Galatians chapter three and find out what the Apostle Paul had to say on this important issue.

Our problem with perfection was solved by Jesus. He paid the price to perfect us before a holy and perfect God. Isn’t that awesome? However, there are some people who still try to get to heaven by being “perfect”. It simply won’t work. The people of Galatia had a similar issue. They thought following rules was the path to heaven.

As we continue our study through Revelation on the program today we’ve reached chapter twelve.  We’re going to learn about one of the great battles of all time.. one that’s been fought since the beginning of time and one that continues today. It’s the battle for control between satan and God.

We all need someone in our lives who is not afraid to “tell it like it is”. The Galatians had a friend like that, and his name was Paul. We’ll see just what he had to say to the Galatians today on The Dwelling Place.

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.

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.
