Paul’s Accusation - We’re one week into our new sermon series in Galatians. This Sunday, we turn to Paul’s formal charge against the church he planted: they are deserters. They are turning away from the grace of God in Christ and embracing a different gospel altogether. As we learned last week, a group within the church was advocating a “Jesus and” approach: Jesus and the Torah, Jesus and circumcision, Jesus and kosher meals, etc. Paul solemnly warns that anyone who distorts the gospel is under God’s condemnation—they are anathema. Join us this Sunday as we dig deeper into Paul’s charge against the Galatians. Galatians 1:6-10.
Free in Christ is our summer sermon series on the Book of Galatians. This letter is probably the first that Paul wrote, and is among the earliest books of the New Testament. It foreshadows the conflict in Acts 15 at the Jerusalem Council. It also shows a range of emotions for the Apostle Paul, who is incredulous at heretical developments in the churches he planted in what is now south-central Turkey.
