Paul and Barnabas move unto the Gentiles after Jews consider themselves unworthy of an inheritance to eternal life.

Then after fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and also took Titus with me .

Council…

And now today - we jump back into Galatians... But before we just press on ahead - let’s look back a bit to get ourselves REACQUAINTED…

Last week we jumped back into the book of Galatians - after having been away from it for the month of May. Last week, Paul highlighted FOR the Galatians - (for us) - the TWO PATHS of Humanity…! That there are ONLY 2 paths And that if you are on THIS PATH - then you’re NOT on this one And if you’re on…

If you’re observant, you will notice that I’ve skipped forward in our study of Hebrews. I ’m not taking the cowards way out - bypassing a difficult section of the letter in order to avoid the interpretive challenges it raises. I will come back to the part we have skipped over today. I have jumped forward…

We all know that salvation is a gift of God through Christ Jesus to any man that will repent of sin and believe by faith. 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast. Yet it is often the case in the believer’s…

I am amazed that you are so quickly turning away from him who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— not that there is another gospel, but there are some who are troubling you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach…

The letter to the Galatians is an appeal by Paul to churches in the Roman province of Galatia to resist the movement to abandon the system of salvation that saves one by faith in Christ (expressed in repentance and baptism), and adopt a system of salvation whereby one is justified by the keeping of the…

I’ve eaten lobster, but one life that I cannot relate to and that probably none of us can relate to, is the life of a lobsterman. A lobsterman is someone…

Sola Fide started long before the Reformation and Must continue as our Battle Cry.

This world as we know it won't last. For many that's good news. Why? Because we're living for a different world. A better one. The Apostle Paul speaks of that in this section of Philippians.

Who do you know? One of the ways we stick out in this world is by who we know. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing. What do you know? Related to the first but sometimes more important. Sometimes knowledge leads to passion. We want what is familiar. This is a constant struggle of humanity. We want what…

What is essential? Early on in the pandemic we had this question posed many of times; did we not? It was frustrating and liberating, at least to me, with some of the answers. Yes, it meant some of the things which were “important”, “crucial” and I would call “essential” ended up not being as essential…
