گه‌ڵاتیه‌ 15:1-24

There are times where the only voice I want to hear is God's telling me it will be "okay." Really, I'm sure that "okay" isn't what He'll say. His response will be more like "be light, be salt." First, He'll start with a reminder of who He is and what He thinks, says, and feels about me. Then He'll tell me to preach His Kingdom to all the nations. Ready?

How we view our work – in service to ourselves or in service to others – makes all the difference in our ability to be witnesses for Christ. Paul gives us a powerful example of what it looks like to shift from self-interest to serving others so that we can be a light for Christ at work.  

Paul wasn’t one of the original twelve apostles. Nonetheless, he took Jesus’ Great Commission to heart and spent his entire life making disciples, or students, of everyone he met. He shared the Gospel with them, then taught them how to illustrate that Gospel so it would never be called into question, others would accept it, and God would be glorified. Now it’s our turn! 

This plan will explore what the letter of Galatians teaches us in four major areas. 1) WHO GOD IS: God’s character and nature 2) WHO WE ARE: the identity of humanity and/or believers 3) WHAT WE BELIEVE: core Christian doctrines 4) HOW WE LIVE: putting faith into action
