NEW TESTAMENT | LETTERS
The Book of Galatians
THE GOSPEL IS ENOUGH
Paul doesn’t begin this letter in his normal way, but with a declaration: ‘I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you to live in the grace of Christ.’ He continues with the same passion the whole way through, showing us how we are called to live life in the Spirit, not by the works of the flesh or under the curse of the Law. This book will change the way you live out your Christian life. Are you striving for salvation? Are you striving to be good enough? Galatians will show you that in Christ, by grace and through faith, you have the freedom to live in victory and with the fruit of the Spirit. It’s a book full of parallels, and you are going to love finding them all as you read this letter.
Part One
DIVE - IS THE CROSS ENOUGH? | Dr Katie Haldane
In his letter to the Galatians, Paul is furious and for good reason–the churches are walking away from the truth and simplicity of the gospel, embracing a gospel that is ‘not a gospel at all!’
I remember when I was first saved experiencing a radical transformation. I had always had some sort of faith in God or Jesus, I did the whole Sunday school thing as a kid, but this was really different. God was real in my life and I wanted to know everything there was to know and do everything there was to do.
Part Two
DIVE - TWO WAYS TO LIVE - PARALLELS IN GALATIANS | Dr Katie Haldane
I’m not very good at making choices. I get overwhelmed when there is too much to choose from and end up making the wrong choice. I am always the one when we eat a buffet lunch that has food envy when we get back to the table! But in Galatians, Paul makes it perfectly easy to make your choice.
DEEP DIVE - TO CUT OR NOT TO CUT? PART TWO | Rev. Assoc. Prof. Adam White
We left off last time with some new Gentile Christians in Galatia feeling compelled to listen and go along with a certain group of travelling Jewish Christians, presumably sent and endorsed by the 12 in Jerusalem, who are insisting that the Galatians add to their faith in Christ certain Mosaic requirements.
