“Application in a sermon is essentially responding to the grace that we have in Jesus,” says McKay Caston, a pastor and author who encourages Christians to use the gospel as the “true north” compass of their lives. McKay has authored an incredible Bible study, Galatians: Navigating Life in View of the Cross, that he says is appropriate for teenagers and the older generation to study together. He discusses what’s missing in the modern American church, and how we can make church a more loving and welcoming place for everyone. In addition, McKay talks about steering clear of dampening legalism that can steal joy from believers. The gospel is not something to fear - it’s something to be embraced and celebrated! Let’s change our mindsets today!
