Which of these three versions do you like the best regarding this passage?
In verse 14, Paul says that he boasts in nothing but the Cross of Jesus Christ. What are you tempted to boast in or boast about?

How often do you “boast in the Cross of Christ”? What does/could this look like?
According to verse 15, the only thing that matters is the new creation (what God is transforming us into). How have this series and the study of Galatians helped to transform you?
In what areas have you realized you are still in need of further transformation?
Focusing on verse 16, Paul invokes peace and mercy on those who follow the “rule” of verses 14-15. What are some of the contrasting elements to peace and mercy for those who break the “rule” of verses 14-15? (I’m thinking of things like anxiety, condemnation, guilt, shame, pride, arrogance, etc.)

October 22, 2014Losing My Religion, Week 5
Sermon Series: Losing My Religion – Week 5 - Michael Coker
Sermon Title: Called to Freedom
Key Scriptures: Galatians 5:13-14

Discussion Questions:
Take a few moments to share your initial thoughts and reactions to this weekend’s service and to the series thus far.
What one thing challenged, interested or stood out to you the most?

What is the one action within human history that has set us free from the law and this world?
“Our freedom is not the result of our decisions and actions. God acted in history on the cross and through the resurrection to set us free.”

Do you agree or disagree with the above statement?

Read Galatians 5:13-14 out loud in three different translations (use online Bibles if necessary). What insights do you gain from reading this text in these three different versions?

How would you define freedom from an earthly/humanistic view point?
How would you define freedom from a Godly view point?

Which view point do you lean more towards? (Worldly/Godly)

Paul tells us that our call to freedom is a call to serve others, is this an easy calling to follow? Why or why not?
What other passages of scripture come to mind when thinking about putting the needs of others above our own?

How can these scriptures challenge and grow you as you build your relationship with Christ?

In Galatians 5:19-21, Paul gives us a list of sinful desires that people seem to follow instead of following God wholeheartedly, why do we choose to allow temporary gains and pleasures to take the place of our relationship with God?
Does this list still apply to us today or has it changed because it is the 21st century?

In Galatians 5:22-23, Paul gives us a list of the fruit of the Spirit, why is it important for us to live with these qualities?
Compare and contrast the list from 5:19-21 and 5:22-23, are there any life examples that you can think of where you could respond with a specific action from either list.

What can you do as a life group to help each other live within the fruit of the Spirit?

October 12, 2014Losing My Religion, Week 4
Sermon Series: Losing My Religion – Week 4 (October 12, 2014)
Sermon Title: Just In Time
Key Scriptures: Galatians 4:4-7
Bottom Line: God’s Sons & Daughters know who their Source and Sustainer is!

Discussion Questions:
Take a few moments to share your initial thoughts and reactions to this weekend’s service and to the series thus far.
What one thing challenged, interested or stood out to you the most?

Read Galatians 4:4-7 out loud in three different translations (use online Bibles if necessary). What insights do you gain from reading this text in these three different versions?

Verse 4 uses the phrase, “In the fullness of time…” to describe God sending Christ to the earth to be born under the law. Describe a time when you thought that God was “late” in acting on something or in answering a prayer.
Has hindsight proven that He was actually right on time? If not, are you at least open to the possibility that He was/is?

In verse 5, Paul states the purpose for Christ coming to earth, “to redeem those under the law.” Considering the definition of “redeem” (to purchase completely), what does that tell you about your value in the eyes of God?
The next phrase describes our adoption as sons. Brainstorm for a few moments as a group on the differences between a purchased slave and an adopted son within a first century Roman household. (Legal status, Ability to inherit, living in the home vs. only serving in the home, etc.)

Focusing on verse 6, “Abba” is the Aramaic word for Father, literally meaning “Source and Sustainer,” but also carrying the highest familiarity as in “Papa” or “Daddy.” How accurately does “Abba” describe your relationship with God?
Do you understand and relate to Him as both your Source—the giver of every good thing in your life (see Psalm 24:1 and James 1:16-17)—and your Sustainer—the one who sustains you day in and day out (see Philippians 2:13 and 2 Peter 1:3)?

Do also understand and relate to God with the familiarity of a child calling or reaching out for his or her Daddy?

In verse 7, Paul clarifies the progression from slave (representing religion) to child (representing a relationship). Where do you see yourself on this continuum?

October 05, 2014Losing My Religion, Week 3
Sermon Series: Losing My Religion, #3 – October 5, 2014 – Marc Sundstrom
Sermon Title: Start to Finish
Key Scriptures: Galatians 3:1-5
Bottom Line: Fully-Devoted-Faith Unleashes Miracles Among Us!

Discussion Questions:
Take a few moments to share your initial thoughts and reactions to this weekend’s service and to the series thus far.
What one thing challenged, interested or stood out to you the most?

Read Galatians 3:1-5 out loud in the NIV, NLT and The Message (use online Bibles if necessary). What insights do you gain from this reading this text in these three different versions?
Do you ever do this in your personal study when you “get stuck” on a passage? What version(s) of the Bible do you read?

Paul opens Galatians 3:1 in the NIV with the phrase, “You foolish Galatians…” take a moment to discuss their folly based on the series so far and the reading you have done in the Book of Galatians.
If Paul were writing to you personally or to Southridge Church, what issues might he address with this same amount of passion?

In verse 3, Paul zeroes in on the foolishness of the Galatians, “after beginning by means of the Spirit, are you now trying to finish by means of the flesh?” When have you tried “to finish by means of the flesh”?
What have been the results?

Focusing on v4, the word we translate as “experienced” also has the meaning of “suffered.” What have you experienced—or suffered—for Christ?
How would experiencing/suffering this in the context of religion be “in vain” compared to suffering it in the context of a Relationship with Jesus?

In verse 5, Paul refers to the miracles that come through the Holy Spirit to those who hear in faith and believe/trust God. What spiritual miracle are you praying for right now?

September 29, 2014Losing My Religion, Week 2
Sermon Series: Losing My Religion, #2 – September 28 – Marc Sundstrom
Sermon Title: Dying to Live
Key Scriptures: Galatians 2:19-21
Bottom Line: Good works are not a substitute for faith, they are the result of faith!

Discussion Questions:
Take a few moments to share your initial thoughts and reactions to this weekend’s service.
What one thing challenged, interested or stood out to you the most?

Review Galatians 1:3-7a. What has risen to the surface of your mind and spirit over the last week regarding Grace and the Gospel?

Read Galatians 2:15-16 out loud. In what ways have you tried in the past to be “justified by works of the law”?
What does Paul say about such efforts?

Read Galatians 2:19-21 out loud. Focusing on verse 19, what does it mean to die to the Law? How does this enable us to live for God? (Pursuing Religion through our adherence to the Law vs. Pursuing a Relationship through faith in Christ.)
What role does the grace we discussed last week play in all of this?

Focusing on v20, Paul talks about being “crucified with Christ.” What do you think he is referring to? What part of us must die in order for Christ to live in us and through us? (Our flesh/sinful nature.)
Paul chose to live for Christ, “Who loved me and gave Himself for me.” What are some of the other people or things we can live for, and how do they compare to Christ? (Like ourselves, our parents, the approval of other, material wealth/success.)

Focusing on v21, in what ways do we set aside the grace of God? What do we say about Christ’s sacrifice when we do set aside the grace of God?

Read Romans 6:1-14 aloud as you close. How does this passage build upon and illustrate what Paul has stated in Galatians 2:19-21?
