All People Will Be Blessed!

Galatians 3, Genesis 15:6, 12:3, 18:18, 22:18, Deuteronomy 27:26, 21:22-23, Habakkuk 2:4, Leviticus 18:5, 9
Richard Peifer
Join us as Richard Peifer continues with the study through Galatians. Paul is bringing to light that someone has led the Galatians back to the law. Paul asks how the Galatians came to salvation. The people needed to be reminded that the Holy Spirit needs to be allowed to continue His work in the lives of His children. Salvation is by grace alone. The only works included are the works of Christ's finished work. Even today, after we come to salvation, it’s easy to slip back under the bondage of Law. Are you walking by faith, or living by Law?

How to Live for God

Galatians 2:11-21, Acts 10:28
Bob Christopher
Join us as Bob Christopher continues with part four of the study through Galatians. Paul recounts the time when Peter was in hypocrisy when separating himself from the Gentiles where eating was concerned. This incident was affecting the body of Christ, and Paul had to call Peter out on this. This was done to reaffirm that there is neither Jew nor Greek in the Body of Christ. Paul continues to remind both Jew and Gentile in Galatia that because of the resurrection of Jesus, we have all died to the Law, and have been raised to New Life in Christ Jesus. Therefore, we should live out this truth. Have you died to your old way of life, and been raised to New Life in Christ?

Not for a Moment!

Galatians 2:1-10
Richard Peifer
Join us as Richard Peifer continues through the book of Galatians. Paul continues to defend his stand on the Gospel. Privately, Paul met with some leaders to verify that everyone was preaching the same Gospel. This was because false brethren had sneaked into the congregation for the purpose of spying, and putting the Body of Christ back under legalistic bondage through false doctrine. Paul did not give in to these false teachers for even a moment so that the truth of the gospel would be preserved. The true leaders recognized that Paul had been entrusted with the gospel just as much as the Apostle Peter.

The Power of Revelation

Galatians 1:11-24
Bob Christopher
Join us as Richard Peifer and Bob Christopher share part 2 of the Galatians series. This week we see Paul reminding the people of Galatia of his testimony, and giving evidence as to why the message he has shared was the Gospel. Paul did not receive the Gospel message from any man, nor any angel, but from Jesus Christ Himself. The Gospel message will not be understood until the veil is removed from our hearts. The only person who can remove that veil is Jesus Christ. Have you accepted the Gospel of Jesus Christ? Has the veil been removed from your heart?

Go Along to Get Along?

Galatians 1:1-10
Bob Christopher
Join us as Bob Christopher and Richard Peifer begin a new series on the the book of Galatians. Richard gives us a history of Paul's missionary journeys. Bob gives us the highlights of the purpose of Paul's letter to the Galatians, his concerns for the Galatians, and the reminder of what the true gospel message is. If anyone comes and attempts to share any other gospel besides Jesus being crucified, buried, and resurrected, it is no gospel at all, and the speakers of false doctrines should be under God's curse. Reject any gospel other than the gospel of Jesus Christ.
