Questions About Faith

Mike Sullivan

Galatians 3:6-25

The passage explores two main questions about faith: 1) Is salvation by faith alone enough in the Old Testament? and 2) Why were we given the Law in the first place? Paul contends that salvation has always been through faith in God and explains the Law's proper role as a testament against self-righteousness.\r\n\r\n

What's my motivation?

Ryan Lowery

Ephesians 2:1-10

This teaching outlines the opportunity we have to receive Christ and walk with God. As a Christian, we are no longer defined by our sin and selfishness but instead can choose to follow God's leadership for our lives.

Two Common Objections to God's Grace

Gary DeLashmutt

Galatians 2:15-21

God's generosity challenges both Judaizer theology and Lordship theology. Regardless of how our sin compares to the sin of others, we are all hopelessly in debt and in need of grace. The implications of believing that Christ's justification is unconditional in contrast with believing it is highly conditional (as these two faulty theologies claim) are explored.

Paul's Defense

Mike Sullivan

Galatians 1:10-2:14

Paul uses his testimony as a defense against the Judaizers' accusations. The Judaizers were like a substitute teacher that undermines the main teacher's authority while he or she is away. Paul states that his goal is to please God and not men. In fact, Paul contests that he not only received the gospel from Christ Himself, but he also promoted the gospel in a situation with Peter in which Peter acted inconsistently with truth as a result of trying to please men. Mike Sullivan explores what implications Paul's response to the Judaizers has for us.

Jesus Begins His Ministry

Jim Leffel

1 Kings 17:7-24

Jesus's miracles demonstrates who He is and that the Gospel is true. He heals unlikely people, just like the miracles Elijah did for the Widow in Zarephath. God seeks us in our hour of need, when we have come to a desperate place. This is when we are able to understand the power of the gospel.

Failing to Grow

Chris Hearty

1 Corinthians 3:15

Our relationship with God is not static, and Christians can fail to progress in their spiritual growth by refusing to listen to God and others' counsel in their lives. A growing Christian, on the other hand, is accustomed to the Word through study of the truths of the Bible and personal application of his or her knowledge. Growing Christians are also committed to understanding God's grace, as the author of Hebrews demonstrates by correcting his audience for returning to Old Testament rituals once again.

No Give On the Gospel

Gary DeLashmutt

Galatians 1:6-9

Paul defends the Gospel against false teaching put forth by the Judaizers. Paul's passion against false teaching is reflective of God's response to false teaching. If jeopardizing people's physical health is a grave problem, how much more is jeopardizing people's spiritual well-being? Adding works to the Gospel reverses the Gospel so that it is no longer good news. The Gospel brings life and this message is more important than its messenger.

The "Table of Contents"

Gary DeLashmutt

Galatians 1:1-5

The Judaizers attack Paul's message and authority. Paul defends his apostolic authority and emphasizes God's grace. Four insights into God's grace are presented: 1) God offers us His peace by His grace, 2) God's grace gives us justification by faith alone, 3) God's grace rescues us from the authority of evil in this life, and 4) God's grace motivates its recipients to praise Him.

Responding to Revelation

Dennis McCallum

Luke 14:18-20

God's goal is to bring as many people as possible into His family. All people are members of the sinful human race and need a perfect sacrifice for their sins in order to be part of God's family. To pay for the sins of humanity Jesus had to be like a man in every respect. He sacrificed his perfect human life to cover the sins of humanity.
