This is a tough text. Real tough. All told, it's pretty hopeless. Perhaps it is for these reasons that it is an unfamiliar story to most folks in the Church. Despite its tragedy, however, it is a story that needs to be told.

In this stand-alone teaching, Josh talks about the power of stories—specifically, how they shape and mold us, and also how, in the context of worship, they encourage us to remember (and believe in) God's presence and involvement in our lives. Using Psalm 30 as a guide, this teaching focuses not only on the psalmist's experience, but on its usefulness in the community of TRP.

Our series on Paul's "angry and passionate letter to the Galatians" concludes with some of the author's final thoughts. One more time, for the people in the back, Paul says it's not about circumcision. (You got that?!) Instead, it's about new creation. And for those who have trusted Christ as Lord, Paul emphasizes that they participate in this new creative work. It may not be the gospel you have heard, but it's Paul's, and it's a beautiful thing.

In this week's teaching, Josh discusses Paul's final (formal) instructions to the churches of Galatia. Whether it is intentional or not is unknown, but Paul seems to go back and forth between "mutual responsibility" and "individual accountability"—both emphases, however, are united by the continued concern that followers of Jesus live by the Spirit.
