The law of God has no power to prevent sin - or redeem the sinner. Only grace can do that. That’s our theme on today’s The Dwelling Place with pastor Al Pittman. The churches in Galatia had been deceived by false teachers, who had convinced them that they could be saved by works rather than grace. Let’s head over to Galatians chapter three and find out what the Apostle Paul had to say on this important issue.

Our problem with perfection was solved by Jesus. He paid the price to perfect us before a holy and perfect God. Isn’t that awesome? However, there are some people who still try to get to heaven by being “perfect”. It simply won’t work. The people of Galatia had a similar issue. They thought following rules was the path to heaven.

We all need someone in our lives who is not afraid to “tell it like it is”. The Galatians had a friend like that, and his name was Paul. We’ll see just what he had to say to the Galatians today on The Dwelling Place. Pastor Al Pittman is taking us through this challenging epistle, and we can see that the Galatians were much like many Christians today – they thought they needed to add something to their faith in order to please God and get to heaven.

Pastor Al Pittman is currently taking us through the book of Galatians - a letter written by Paul to a group of believers who had been seriously misled by false teachers. They had been taught by Paul that the gospel message was for Jews and Gentiles alike, but they had then been misled into believing that the gentiles were disqualified.

On today’s program, pastor Al continues his in depth look at Galatians chapter two. In order to really understand what the Apostle Paul is saying in this chapter, it’s important to know what was going on in the churches in Galatia at the time. In a word, the problem was hypocrisy. The Galatians talked a good game, but they actually had let false teaching and bigotry creep into their midst, and were preaching a gospel that contradicted the truth.

We’re currently enjoying a journey through the book of Colossians, and once again, we see the incredible inspired word of God coming through in this letter from Paul to the church in Colossi. Do you think God knew two thousand years ago how relevant these words would be for us today? Of course He did! Colossians chapter two has much to teach us about false teachers, and the true source of security and happiness- our Lord Jesus Christ.

Pastor Al Pittman will underscore the gospel of grace alone through faith alone on today’s broadcast as part of our continuing study of Galatians. We’ve just begun a look at chapter two, where we read Paul’s passionate defense of the gospel.

The grace of God is definitely something to be thankful for, and grace is the topic as we continue Al’s new series in Galatians. As we begin a look at chapter two today, Paul has set the stage for his theme in this letter. The churches in Galatia had fallen victim to false teaching. Of course, there was some backlash, but here in chapter two, Paul defends his authority to preach the gospel, and he defends the gospel message as well.

As we continue in Galatians one today, we are going to continue to see Paul’s angry reaction to his beloved friends in Galatia turning to a false gospel. Paul had taught them a gospel based on the grace of God, and the Galatians had turned to a gospel of works. Paul was thoroughly ticked! As Al has mentioned before, this is the only letter Paul wrote that contains absolutely no encouragement. It’s a good old fashioned dressing-down!

Today we begin a series in Paul’s letter to the Galatian church. The underlying theme of this series is going to be one word - grace. The churches in Galatia had strayed away from the truths Paul had taught them when the church was formed. Salvation through grace was the corner stone, and the Galatians had listened to the wrong teachers after Paul left, and now they believed they had to work for their salvation. That’s the same false doctrine that many people are falling for today - even in the strongest Christian churches.
