Galatians Part 5 – Called to Freedom
Stewarding our freedom - crucifying the sinful nature and learning to order our lives in the Spirit day by day. By this we fulfill the second greater commandment to “love your neighbour as yourself.”
Galatians Part 4 – Freedom through Christ (or not at all)!
Galatians: Paul's deep understanding of the Law and his background in intense religious practices gave him a unique perspective that the only way to get right with God was through faith in Jesus and trusting in the power of His cross.
Galatians Part 3 – Hagar and Sarah: son of slavery versus son of promise
In his letter to the Galatians, Paul uses the story of Hagar and Sarah (Genesis 12-21) to draw out our identity as sons of God's promise through faith in Jesus rather than sons who live as slaves under the Old Covenant Law.
Galatians Part 2 – Freedom and Maturity, Belonging and Inheritance, Position and Promises
The Law was our "guardian" until Christ came, but the main goal of the Law is to lead us to Jesus and show us why we need him. And if you belong to Christ, then you are part of Abraham’s promise.... you have been adopted, you are now heirs with Christ and everything in God’s kingdom has been made available to you.
Galatians Introduction – the Gospel is Jesus *plus nothing*
