Paul's Epistle to the Galatians

Tuesdays at 12:30pm OR Wednesdays at 5:30pm in the Purnell Room
June 10-July 22
Led by Craig Foster

Paul's letter to the churches in the region of Galatia stands as one of his most impassioned and significant works, including such notable passages as the Fruit of the Spirit (which we are exploring in our sermons this summer), and the well-known passage in Galatians 3, that "there is no longer Jew or Greek, there is no long slave or free, there is no longer male or female, for all of you are one in Christ Jesus." But what led to this powerful letter, and what other treasures does it hold? Let's find out as we dive into this important book of the New Testament!

The primary text for this study is the book of Galatians itself, but the commentary in Galatians and Thessalonians for Everyone by N.T. Wright provides valuable insights that will inform our conversations on each chapter of Galatians. The chapters listed below are from the Bible. Please read the assigned chapter for each week first, and then read Wright's commentary on that material.

June 10/11 - An Introduction to Galatians
June 17/18 - Galatians 1
June 24/25 - Galatians 2
July 1/2 - Galatians 3
July 8/9 - Galatians 4
July 15/16 - Galatians 5
July 22/23 - Galatians 6
