04/14/2024 – Galatians Bible Study – Kris Brackett – After proving that Justification by works of the Law is impossible due to the merciless demands of the law, Paul explains that it is also unnecessary because believers have a substitute, a Messiah who was cursed for us. Paul proves that Jesus was a Cursed Messiah and we look in OT passages to see the need for a representative (Gen 3:15; Job 9:1-3 and 32-35; the picture of the substitute (Lev. 16), and the prophecy of the substitute (Isaiah 53).
04/07/2024 – Galatians Bible Study – Kris Brackett – Paul justifies the doctrine of justification by faith: The effect of the Law. Paul shows that the law is not our friend but instead our accuser that makes justification by works of the law an impossibility.
3/24/2024 – Galatians Bible Study – Kris Brackett – the Example of Abraham The blessing of the gospel – salvation and justification – is extended to the nations through faith in the same way as it was extended to Abraham, the believer.
3/17/2024 – Galatians Bible Study – Kris Brackett – Weak faith becomes mature faith.Weak faith still saves. Disobedience or partial obedience has consequences. Paul refers to Abraham to prove that justification is by faith alone by showing that Abraham’s faith preceded circumcision by demonstrating the foolishness of trying to supplement faith in order to gain standing with God.

3/03/2024 – Galatians Bible Study – Tim Brown – Paul brought Abraham into the discussion because no doubt the Judaizers used Abraham as certain proof that circumcision was necessary to please God and become acceptable to Him. What Paul is saying here quoting Genesis 15:6, “6just as Abraham “believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness” is that they had conveniently ignored the fact that Scripture precisely ascribed righteousness to Abraham by faith and that God commanded Abraham to be circumcised many years after He had counted Abraham to be righteous because he believed God?”
02/11/2024 – Galatians Bible Study – Tim Brown –In this lesson we looked at one of the most precious truths in all of Scripture, the doctrine of the believer’s union with the Lord Jesus Christ. We are placed in a spiritual union with Jesus in the historical event of his death and resurrection, in which the Penalty of sin was paid in full.
02/04/2024 – Galatians Bible Study – Kris Brackett – Today we look in a little more detail at the first mention of justification in all of Paul’s writings. We discuss the difference between imputed, inherent, and infused righteousness. We also discuss the difference between the religion of human achievement (all that man does to satisfy his idols through following rules) and divine accomplishment (what Christ did once and for all to justify sinners who come to Him in faith).
1/28/2024 – Galatians Bible Study – Tim Brown –Paul continues to recount for the Galatians his head to head address to Peter in the company of both the Judaizers and Gentiles. Their logic ran like this: If God’s way of salvation is justification by faith alone without works, then it makes God an advocate of sin.” If Christ is the One who supplies this grace that leads tom lawlessness, He would actually be enabling a sinful lifestyle. Paul categorically and unequivocally rejects that line of thinking with the strongest negative one can utter in the Greek language “Certainly not!”
1/21/2024 – Galatians Bible Study – Tim Brown –Brief Summary of Lesson: Paul continues his opposition against Peter for his hypocrisy. Here we see God’s omnipotent, omniscient hand take the failure of Peter to stand firm on the truth of the Gospel and to use Peter’s failure as the launching pad into the great doctrine of justification by faith alone in Christ alone. In this lesson we looked at many parallel passages of Scripture that defend this great doctrine. We also looked at the works of multiple commentators and examined their definitions of this great doctrine. We then summarized justification as “the read more...
1/14/2024 – Galatians Bible Study – Tim Brown- Paul and Peter were unified in their creed while in Jerusalem, now they are in Antioch together and they are divided in their conduct. Here’s what happened: Paul opposes Peter because he flip-flopped his attitudes and actions toward the Gentiles of Antioch when some Jewish hard-liners from Jerusalem showed up. Even Barnabas was carried away by the hypocrisy! Peter and Barnabas believed one thing and did another. This resulted in Paul boldly confronting Peter in the presence of everybody- Jews and Gentiles.
01/07/2024 – Adult Bible Study – Joel Teague – Our lives are not determined by fate or chance, and God did not create the universe and then step aside to watch history unfold from a distance. According to the Bible, the details of our lives unfold within the providence of God who is working in every circumstance–good and bad– for His glory and the salvation of His people.
12/17/2023 – Galatians Bible Study – Kris Brackett – Paul continues to demonstrate the validity of his gospel message providing evidence that he came to understand this gospel independent of the influence of the Jerusalem church and without yielding to the false gospel of works righteousness. We continue to see how during the time of the events recorded in Galatians: the gospel was spreading from Jerusalem, to Judea, to Samaria, and beyond through the work of Peter, Paul, and other unnamed disciples, and how the issue of circumcision and other aspects of Jewish legal tradition became potential dividing points in read more...
12/10/2023 – Galatians Bible Study – Kris Brackett – “After and interval of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem…” As we continue to study the biographical section of Galatians we investigate what was going on in the silent years of Paul’s early Christian life as well as what was going on in the early church during those days. The gospel was spreading from Jerusalem, to Judea, to Samaria, and beyond reaching Jews, proselytes, and Gentiles. God was moving key men around during this time as new frontiers for the gospel were opening in preparation for greater undertakings and read more...
12/03/2023 – Galatians Bible Study – Tim Brown – We have previously looked at Paul’s life before his conversion. This lesson explains his conversion and his life after. No human explantation or influence could account for the 180 degree turn in Paul’s life. God Himself accomplished this and Paul knew it. God had set him apart before he was born in order that he might preach to the Gentiles. As a result the people of the church in Judea were amazed at the turn about in his life and glorified God because of it.
11/26/2023 – Galatians Bible Study – Tim Brown -Paul shows us that a people pleaser would never have pronounced anathema one anyone else because they would be to concerned with what others think of them. He shows that instead of being a people pleaser he was a slave of Christ, he was a God-fearing man. He goes on and shows us that his gospel came directly from God to him. Paul then shows us three important facts about his life. In today’s lesson we concluded with looking at the first fact 1). His life as a persecutor of Christ and read more...
11/19/2023 – Galatians Bible Study – Tim Brown -Paul is flabbergasted that the Galatians have deserted the true gospel.They were adding the law of Moses to the gospel of Jesus Christ. This was the teaching of the Judaizers, the Jewish-Christian legalistsThey wanted to make Gentiles become Jews before they could become Christians.They wanted to add works of the law on top of faith in Jesus Christ as the basis for salvation.The Galatians were betraying their allegiance to Jesus Christ and going over to the other side. Paul says anyone who preaches any other gospel is, to put it literally, “anathema.” To be anathema read more...
11/12/2023 – Galatians Bible Study – Kris Brackett – Understanding the mission of Paul to the Gentiles and the divisiveness of the issue of circumcision helps us understand the reason for the book of Galatians. Also, we looked at how the biographical information in Galatians corresponds to Acts.
11/05/2023 – Galatians Bible Study – Kris Brackett – In order to understand the epistle to the Galatians and its importance, we need to understand to whom it was written and when. In our background study, we look what is said about the recipients of the letter to the Galatians and compare it to Paul’s missionary strategy and the background of the first century Christian mission.
10/22/2023 – Adult Bible Study – Tim Brown -Here’s what happened. After Paul left Galatia, his converts came under the influence of certain individuals who discredited his apostleship, called into question the validity of his gospel, and insisted his converts needed to go all the way and get circumcised, if they were going to shore up their status of children of God. These “Judaizers,” were apparently quite effective in persuading the Galatians of the necessity of circumcision. As a result, Paul’s once enthusiastic converts were now ambivalent at best. They’d developed misgivings about whether Paul had told them the whole read more...
