Galatians 3:6-14

Galatians 3:1-5 Is God enough for you? When your prayers don’t get answered? When you desperately want that job, that boyfriend, that baby, that healing? God wants us to find something greater

Galatians 2:15-16 Justification is not a doctrine about how individuals get saved and go to heaven. It is about how people become part of Abraham’s family and share in his inheritance.

Galatians 2:11-14Paul’s conflict with Peter shows the importance of not allowing our tribal identity markers to become fences between us and others. The only identity marker we need is the cross and our faith in Christ.

Galatians 1:11-24 – Our stories have huge power to influence the hearts of others and remind us of the transforming work of God’s grace in our lives.

Galatians 1:6-10 Paul is accused of being a people-pleaser, which is an addiction to the approval of others. The antidote to people-pleasing is becoming enslaved to the love of Christ and correcting negative self-talk that manifests itself in people-pleasing words and actions.

Galatians 1:1-15 In every one of his letters, Paul begins by wishing his readers grace and peace. These words are loaded with meaning and offer us incredible hope and comfort in the midst of the chaos and struggle that characterise much of our lives.

The book of Galatians confronts any attempt to add anything to Jesus and the gospel that detracts from the absolute supremacy of Jesus and the absolute sufficiency of the Holy Spirit.

The Easter story is not a clean, tidy story with a ribbon around it. It’s a messy story, for messy people. The events of Jesus’ death and resurrection are earthy and raw, but have the power to transform our lives if we allow them to.
