In Galatians 3:1–5, Paul confronts the believers with a heartfelt rebuke: “O foolish Galatians!” They had started their journey by faith in the Spirit, but were now trying to continue by relying on their own efforts. Paul calls them to remember what they already knew—that salvation and spiritual growth come through faith, not works.This passage challenges us to consider: Are we trying to earn what God gives freely? Are we forgetting how we first encountered His grace?Join us as we reflect on the danger of drifting from faith to self-reliance.

Justified by Faith – Galatians 2:15-21
In Galatians 2:15–21, Paul delivers one of the clearest declarations of the gospel: we are not justified by works of the law, but through faith in Jesus Christ. No human effort can make us right before God—only the grace found in Christ's finished work on the cross.Paul powerfully states, “I have been crucified with Christ... and the life I now live I live by faith in the Son of God.” This isn’t just doctrine—it’s a new identity, a new way of life.

Faithfulness Over Favour – Galatians 2:11-14
In Galatians 2:11-14, Paul confronts Peter for giving in to peer pressure. Once freely eating with Gentile believers, Peter suddenly withdraws when certain men arrive from Jerusalem. His fear of others’ opinions leads to hypocrisy—and even Barnabas is swept up in it.But Paul won’t stay silent. He challenges Peter publicly, because their behavior was out of step with the truth of the gospel. This moment reminds us that peer pressure isn’t just a teenage issue—it’s a real danger for anyone.Join us as we reflect on the courage it takes to stand for truth, even when others shrink back.

The Meeting of the Pillars – Galatians 2:1-10
In Galatians 2:1-10, Paul recounts his visit to Jerusalem to meet with those who were “reputed to be influential”—the apostles Peter, James, and John, often referred to as the pillars of the early church.Paul didn’t go to seek approval, but to affirm that the gospel he preached—salvation by grace alone, through Christ alone, through faith alone—was indeed the one true gospel. The Jerusalem leaders recognized God’s work through Paul and extended the right hand of fellowship, confirming unity in both message and mission.Join us as we explore this defining moment in church history, where truth, grace, and gospel unity were boldly upheld.

Marks of a Gospel Proclaimer – Galatians 1:10-24
What distinguishes a true proclaimer of the gospel? In Galatians 1:10-24, Paul defends his apostleship and makes it clear that his message came not from man, but from Jesus Christ. His life, once marked by persecution, was radically transformed by the very gospel he sought to destroy.A true gospel proclaimer will always seek God's approval, not man's, share God's message faithfully, preach the need for true conversion, and prepare diligently for their calling. Paul’s story challenges us to examine whether we are living as faithful proclaimers of the gospel today.Join us as we uncover the essential marks of a gospel proclaimer and what it means to be truly called by God.
