Scriptures Reviewed: Acts 11, Matt. 28:29, Eph.2:10.

Discipleship Points: Peter's response to the those contending with him (about being and eating with uncircumcised men) shows God's hand and direction in the matter; the story about Cornelius and his family shows many divine interventions and encourages modern believers to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit and His promptings/voice. Later verses in Acts 11 show many coming to Christ by those filled and/or relying on the Holy Spirit.

Scriptures Reviewed: John 16:13; Rom. 8:9-11; Acts 1:4-8; Acts 2:1-8.

Discipleship Points: The Holy Spirit is in believers. He (the Holy Spirit) will declare things to come, He resides inside believers, He filled the disciples at Pentecost, He gave them new tongues. A powerful deliverance testimony is included.

Scriptures reviewed: Matt. 3:11, 4:1-10; various from Luke; John 16:7-8, 13.

Discipleship Points:

Scriptures Reviewed: Gal. 2:17-21; portions of Rom. 6.

Discipleship Points: Is Christ a minister of sin? Do those advocating grace condone or permit sin? Of course not is the clear answer. Dying to the law and living for God means we offer up ourselves as instruments of righteousness, not as instruments of lawlessness. A comment from Chuck Swindoll emphasizes the gravity of our new life as we choose life not sin.

Scriptures Reviewed: Gal. 2:11-17; Acts 10: 28; Acts 10:44-46; Proverbs 29:25.

Discipleship Points: Paul confronted Peter because Peter had let fear of man drive him from eating with Gentiles. Peter's actions were at odds with his previous behavior at the house of Cornelius. Paul clearly presented the Gospel and salvation by grace as he addressed Peter and others.

Scriptures Reviewed: Gal. 2:5-10; Rom. 15:26; John 13:34-35

Discipleship Points: False brethren came to spy on the liberty believers had, going so far as to "spy from a restroom." The leaders of the Church saw the grace, message, and more given to Paul. They realized he was anointed to preach to the Gentiles, and they shared the right hand of fellowship. Paul was to remember the poor, something he wanted to do anyways.

Scriptures Reviewed: Gal. 1 (summary); Gal. 2:1-5; Rom. 12:1-2.

Discipleship Points: Paul wanted to verify the Gospel he preached. He was prompted (went up by revelation) by the Holy Spirit. Gary and Manny discussed in detail the importance of believing the Holy Spirit will speak to and lead believers. Some legalists came to spy out the liberty Christians believing through grace have.

Scriptures Reviewed: Gal. 1:13-24

Discipleship Points: Paul notes God revealed His Son to him when it pleased Him and Paul went from breathing threats against the disciples to joining them. A quote from Charles Swindoll was noted as was the fact Paul received the Gospel from God, not from man. The program concludes with a review of Chapter One.

Scriptures Reviewed: None were fully reviewed but II Tim. 1:7 was mentioned.

Discipleship Points: Manny and Gary shared testimonies from the past week. Highlights came from a worship symposium attended by Manny and Gary's interaction and teaching at Gospel House church and a Sunday Bible Study at Job Corps in Clearfield, UT. God is doing a work in both places as Christians hear the Word and both grow and go.

Scriptures Reviewed: Eph. 2:10; Gal. 1:11-14

Discipleship Points: Paul received the Gospel from Jesus, through a revelation. The legalism and heresy being taught by some to the Galatians had to be stopped. Paul formerly denied and tried to destroy Christianity; now he is preaching it. He was zealous for the Jewish faith and ways, now he is the same for Jesus and Christianity. This complete, dramatic change shows the true nature and power of the Gospel.
