Galatians: The Gospel for all of life

We will study the book of Galatians from April 18-May 30 at both the 9:45 and 11:15 AM hours on Sundays.

We simply must read and reflect upon the book of Galatians today! Why? Because it emphasizes a transformational truth we urgently need to hear: the gospel of Jesus Christ is not merely for non-Christians to receive and then put aside in favor of their own efforts, but also it is for Christians’s daily encouragement, guidance, and power as growing followers of Jesus. In our age of enhanced moralism (“I can be good enough if I try hard enough”), legalism (“I need the grace of Christ plus something else added to it”), and license (“I can live however I want since Christ made me free”), we must engage with the authoritative, life-giving gospel in all its grace, mercy, and calling. We will explore how the good news of Jesus ties into all of life by using the book itself, authored by the Apostle Paul to the churches of his first missionary journey (see Acts 13-14). Also you are encouraged to read the helpful resource written by Tim Keller, Galatians for You (Good Book Company, 2013) as an additional guide for your study.
