Galatians (Series Overview)

by

The Apostle Paul had many enemies in his ministry, but none were as dangerous as legalists. In his letter to the Galatians, he reveals how the gospel is sufficient for our salvation and lives.

  • 03.23.25 // Counterfeit Gospels // Galatians 1:1-10 – Paul confronted lesser messages posing as the gospel since they corrupted the church. We must beware of counterfeit gospels that could hinder us from knowing the grace of Jesus.
  • 03.30.25 // Transformative Testimonies // Galatians 1:11-24 – Paul’s faith story began as a zealous persecutor of the gospel to a diligent proclaimer of it. When the gospel impacts our lives, it transforms us thoroughly.
  • 04.06.25 // Crucified Lives // Galatians 2:1-21 – Paul was so enthralled by the power of the gospel that he confronted others who were wavering in its truth. By faith and faith alone, we can experience lives that have been crucified with Christ.
  • 04.13.25 // Sanctifying Spirit // Galatians 3:1-9 – If we believe our salvation to be of grace, we must not rely on our works after that. The Spirit that saves is the same Spirit that sanctifies.
  • 04.20.25 // Faithful Redemption // Galatians 3:10-14 – Our works could not save us; in fact, all they did was condemn us. Through the sacrifice of Jesus, we obtain the faithful redemption that we require under sin’s curse.
  • 04.27.25 // Helpful Restraints // Galatians 3:15-22 – Many wonder why God provided a covenant for His people and then later gave them rules they could not keep. The law couldn’t save anyone, but it did help in restraining the spread of sin. 
  • 05.04.25 // Level Ground // Galatians 3:23-29 – The law humbled every person under the awareness of sin, yet God’s grace was available to all. When we come to the cross of Jesus, we tread on level ground.
  • 05.11.25 // Liberating Adoption // Galatians 4:1-7 – We were enslaved to the ways of the world, but the Father desired to adopt us as His children. In Christ, we are free to live joyfully as the sons and daughters of God.
  • 05.18.25 // Spiritual Relapse // Galatians 4:8-20 – Jesus makes everything new in our lives once we receive the gospel, but we can succumb to previous ways if we aren’t careful. Beware falling into a spiritual relapse by demanding things Scripture does not.
  • 05.25.25 // Unapologetic Freedom // Galatians 4:21-5:1 – Christ did not set us free so that we continue to live as if in bondage. Through His sacrifice, He beckons us to live with unapologetic freedom.
  • 06.01.25 // Misleading Persuasions // Galatians 5:2-12 – Some of a church’s greatest dangers can come from within in the form of people who add requirements onto the gospel. Don’t be lured away from the beauty of grace by misleading persuasions.
  • 06.08.25 // Eagerly Compassionate // Galatians 5:13-15 – Grace changes our status with God, but it should also alter the way we interact with others. We are free to live eagerly compassionate lives as we love our neighbors as ourselves.
  • 06.15.25 // Unspiritual Desires // Galatians 5:16-21 – Even though the Spirit resides within us, we are not immune from sinful outbursts that seek to satisfy our fleshly impulses. We must war against the unspiritual desires that still plague us.
  • 06.22.25 // Love, Joy, and Peace // Galatians 5:22 – The fruit of the Spirit provides evidence of our salvation. A disciple of Jesus should exemplify love, joy, and peace. 
  • 06.29.25 // Patience, Kindness, and Goodness // Galatians 5:22 – A life transformed by the Spirit ought to be noticeable. Christians should interact with others by portraying patience, kindness, and goodness.
  • 07.06.25 // Faithfulness, Gentleness, and Self-Control // Galatians 5:23 – The Holy Spirit changes who we are on the inside, but that difference is often observed on the outside. Disciples of Jesus should possess faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
  • 07.13.25 // Spirit Alignment // Galatians 5:24-26 – If we are filled with the Holy Spirit, it should be obvious that we challenge sinful tendencies within ourselves and selfish attitudes toward others. Alignment with the Spirit helps us prioritize His desires. 
  • 07.20.25 // Sharing Burdens // Galatians 6:1-5 – Being part of the Body of Christ means helping one another when we make mistakes or experience challenges. Sharing burdens reveals that we understand the importance of caring for others in the Church.
  • 07.27.25 // Reliable Outcomes // Galatians 6:6-10 – God has designed the world to produce proper results according to how we live. Whether we do what our flesh desires or what the Spirit commands, we will experience reliable outcomes.
  • 08.03.25 // Worthwhile Boasting // Galatians 6:11-18 – Instead of bragging about what we can do in our lives, we should focus on what Christ did through His death. The cross of Jesus is the only worthwhile boasting we should communicate.
