If you could ask God for anything, what would you ask for? In this episode Dan explains that when we make God's wisdom the priority of our lives, we can be certain that along with it, God will grant us the desires of our hearts.

Like the merchant on the hunt for the pearl of great price, you and I must diligently seek God's Kingdom. But where do we begin our search? In this first episode of the season, Dan explains that the answer is found in the greatest sermon ever preached. Jesus's Sermon on the Mount has been called His Kingdom Sermon. It begins with the words "Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven." Recognizing our desperate need for God's wisdom and ways is the first step in our search for God's pearls of great price.

As we conclude our study of "Galatians: Confronting Cultural Christianity," we look at the final characteristic of those who are called to be the Israel of God in our day - they are dead to the world and the world is dead to them.

Who are the true members of God's family? Who are considered children of Abraham and members of Israel? That's the question Paul answers throughout this letter, and as he concludes he describes the markers of those who are truly the Israel of God.

As Christians, we are free from living according to the law, that is, rules and regulations governing our behavior. In this episode, Dan points to  Galatians 5:16-25 to show that to do that successfully, we must live according to the Spirit. As we walk in the Spirit, we inherit more of God's kingdom blessings in our lives, families, churches, and communities.

Expectations that have nothing to do with God's grace that comes to us in Christ are the bane of the church in our day. Those who stand firm against these expectations are labeled social pariahs. We need more social pariahs as we serve together as God's church on the edge.

Using well-known Greek teachings on friends and friendship, Paul draws a stark difference between his relationship with the Christians in Galatia, and the unhealthy relationship they have with the Jewish teachers ministering among them. In doing this, he demonstrates the incarnation truth of gospel ministry - become like me for I became like you.

The Greek word, Stoicheia, is the key to understanding Galatians 4:1-11, where Paul warns the Gentiles in Galatia that if they place themselves under the Sinai covenant given to Israel, they will go back to their old ways as pagan, polytheist Gentiles, relating to God through ritual observances rather than a heart that trusts in Jesus as Lord and Savior.

One seed, one purpose, one family, one way. This was God's purpose from the very beginning of time as seen in His promise to Abraham.  In this episode Dan explains that once the purpose was fulfilled, the "markers" for God's people, found in the covenant at Mount Sinai, were no longer needed. Faith in Christ alone secures our promised inheritance as God's children.
