Have you ever started strong at something, and then for some reason, you got misguided, and things went sideways? This is the story of the Galatians!

The Galatians started well, but they put aside the gift of the Holy Spirit and tried to become right with God through their own effort.

How does one live as a Christian? When I try, I fall short. I'm a hypocrite. Today, we see how Paul approaches living the Christian life.

We learned that we can never earn our way to being good in God’s sight. Rather Christ lives through us and makes us whole.

Well, in our next episode, we learn that it isn’t us who sets the bar… or even makes the change.

Paul is talking about his past pointing out his transformation through God that is this massive difference from who he was.

What is your core belief? For Paul, it was the truth of the good news that he worked to keep aligned with the teachings and life of Jesus.

First a recap. Paul writes to the Galatian Churches and is challenging them not to lose sight of the core belief that he taught them - the good news! Like the Galatians, we may also feel pressure to fit in and allow the culture to shape us vs Jesus.
