Have you thought about the role CT scans, MRI’s, and PET scans play in the life of a person with cancer? When a person has one of those procedures, the result might be that they have cancer. But it’s important to note that those procedures don’t cause cancer. They reveal cancer. The disease was already…

So many childhood stories follow the same plot: someone is under a curse, and the whole story is about breaking out from under it. Sleeping Beauty. Beauty and the Beast. Rumpelstiltskin. We grew up rooting for the cursed one to finally go free. Nobody wants to be under a curse, but in Galatians 3, Apostle…

Imagine filling up your car with gas, hitting the road, then pulling into a truck stop, and thinking, “You know what, I think I’ll switch to diesel from here and fill ‘er up.” Bad idea. Catastrophic, actually. You don’t put diesel in your gas-burner. You don’t change fuel mid-journey. Yet, spiritually, that’s what the Galatians…

There’s a version of you that died on the cross. But we keep bringing him back to life. Apostle Paul says it plainly in Galatians 2:20: “I have been crucified with Christ.” Not wounded. Not reformed. Crucified. The self that demanded its own way, that clawed to get ahead, that kept a record of wrongs…

What if silence is the cruelest thing you could offer someone? In Galatians 2, when Apostle Peter came to Antioch in the days of the early church, he ate freely with Gentile believers. That is, until the staunch Jewish crowd showed up. Then he pulled back and separated himself from the Gentiles, pretending the old…

Have you ever wondered if grace through faith is enough? In Galatians 2:1–5, Paul faced that very pressure from false brothers who had snuck in amongst the fellowship. They were insisting that faith in Christ needed something extra—more ritual, more performance, more law. But Paul refused to give in “even for a moment.” Why? Because…

What if the worst chapter of your life became the loudest proof of God’s power? That’s Apostle Paul’s testimony. In Galatians 1, he doesn’t hide it. He leads with it. Persecutor. Destroyer of the church. A man who made it his mission to wipe out the very faith he would later die for. But then…

Do you feel the internal pressure to constantly make everyone happy? Are you familiar with the anxiety and exhaustion that produces? Well, the Bible has some encouragement for you. In Galatians 1, Apostle Paul asks one of the most profound questions in all of Scripture: Am I now seeking the approval of man, or of…

Wouldn’t you love to have peace? All the world is looking for peace, but they typically look in all the wrong places: in their routines, in their relationships, in their own best efforts. All of that looking, and still, they can’t find peace. In the opening of his letter to the Galatians, Apostle Paul, with…

What if I told you that Jesus has given you a mission bigger than your ability to accomplish? And what if I also told you that’s exactly the point? Just before the resurrected Jesus departed and ascended into Heaven, we read in Luke 24 that He commissioned His followers with a huge task: go proclaim…
