Weekly Bulletin: 2023-11-08
“O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? It was before your eyes that Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified. Let me ask you only this: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law or by hearing with faith? Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh?” (Galatians 3:1–3).
Arriving at Galatians 3 means arriving at some of Paul’s most pointed language. It is clear from the get-go that Paul’s theme of “no other gospel” is the most pressing thing on his mind. But now, that sense of urgency is brought into fruition as he dismantles the foolishness of the Galatians and woefully they’ve been misguided in the truth of the gospel by the Judaizers. Paul, here, aims to set them straight.
Be sure to be with us this Sunday, November 12 at 10 a.m. as, Lord willing, I will be diving into Galatians 3 as we press on in the series “No Other Gospel.” Also, don’t forget about our evening worship gathering at 6 p.m. where I will be bringing another lesson in the study of biblical theology.
Blessings 🙏 Pastor Brad
