Gospel of Grace in Galatians

It was a joy to share a history lesson on Sunday about the life of Paul, his first missionary journey and how that related to his writing of the book of Galatians. It was a lot to cover, but we trust that this context was helpful for you.

We concluded our challenge from the first couple of chapters of Galatians, with these practical questions... which are worth asking again:

* Are you being transformed by Jesus?

* Are you being transformed by the Good News of Grace?

* "Through JESUS forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you, and through JESUS everyone who believes is freed from all things, from which you could not be freed through the Law of Moses." (Acts 13:38-39) Is there something you need freed from by Jesus?

* Who do you know that needs The Good News?
