God Centered Life

“How ya doing?” We say it, but it’s likely that we’re not asking a question. We’re simply using that phrase as a way to interact. In our study today, we’re dissecting a greeting used by Paul to make sure we get the real gold that’s within.

If the Apostle Paul walked into any church service on a Sunday morning, it’s likely that service would grind to an immediate halt. But would that be what Paul would want? What does Paul say about his relationship to the church… to you and I? And what does that prompt us to do in our spiritual family meetings? We’ll look at that in this study.

Galatians 1:1-2

Maybe you’re a fixer. If you see a problem, your inner self wants to jump in and improve the situation. In our study today, we’re going to ask if we are subtly trying to “fix” Christianity by finding ways we can make it more “accessible.” Paul wrote a letter to a church who was doing this. Let’s see how that letter lands for us.

Galatians 1:1-2

We’re looking at how God does not give up on us. This passage provides ten promises that demonstrate that enduring love. But what are the implications of that persistent love in our efforts to face challenges? Is it possible for us to fail so massively that we cannot be restored? How do we glean hope out of the rubble of what we’ve done? The prophet has good news for us.

Winning is great! We love to celebrate winning. But is it even better to be a gracious winner? This is just one of the questions we’ll be asking in an attempt to reframe our perspective on what it means to keep the peace.

A prophet looks ahead. A prophet of hope anticipates good things ahead. If we’ve failed miserably, can we still anticipate good things ahead? Is it possible to fail so miserably that we’re outside the realm of hope? Our objective is to gain a perspective of how our failure measures up to God’s promises and love.

The prophet has lowered the gavel for those who have violated God’s law, those who are not holy. He has pointed out that we need to be reconciled with God. And then, in a move of pure hope, he points out how this understanding of our condition sets us up for a significant dose of good news. We’ll look at that good news in this study.

Maybe you’ve felt it. It’s not uncommon. We’re convinced our current struggles are the consequences of things we’ve done in our past. We trudge along while others appear to be flying high. We see clearly all is not rosy in our worlds. Are we cursed? Are we living in shadows of the past? Or are we missing out on understanding who we actually are in God?

Power is important, and vital to change, right? Might is the best way to impact the world. And wouldn’t it be great if we all had special powers to make amazing things happen all at once? But is power always the solution? Our study today explores this question.

It makes a great movie plot, loaded with “feel good” moments. All is lost, but then suddenly, the least likely character, the outsider, the excluded one, the misfit… jumps in and saves the day. Ever consider your potential to save the day, given the power source available to you? We’ll do that in this study.
