HONOR THE CHAIN OF COMMAND
Galatians 1:1-10
June 14, 2026
Sermons by Mark Miller and Kevin Pitts
Opener: Where do you prefer to land in the typical "chain of command"?
Paul was the church planter of the churches in Galatia, thus he had a lot of ownership in their success. What ministry do you feel a lot of ownership in for its success? Paul is astonished that they are so quickly deserting him who called them in the grace of Christ. Talk about a time when you deserted your faith for a season and how you came back. Why is grace plus works the opposite of "good news" (gospel)? In what ways do you sometimes slip into feeling that your works are part of your salvation? These false teachers had infiltrated the Galatian churches. What examples of false teachers have you faced previously? How does a believer (or even a church) identify and battle false teachers? Remember our fancy new word we learned? SOTERIOLOGY--the study of salvation. What are some crucial parts of the gospel--or how you can be saved--that we should know firmly and share with others? What are some confusions about soteriology that we need to be able to clear up? How can Paul view himself both as an "apostle" (one sent with authority) in verse 1 and also a "servant" in verse 10? How does this apply to each of us?What else had you hoped we would discuss? What stuck out or confused you?
