PAUL'S LETTER TO THE GALATIANS
SERMON SERIES
​October 2017 - December 2017

Galatians is a book about matters of first priority. It is a bold declaration that there is only one Gospel: people are justified before God only by grace alone through faith alone in Jesus Christ alone. It declares that the believer must walk not in legalism or licentiousness, but by the Holy Spirit. It is a timely study as we commemorate the 500th anniversary of the beginning of the Reformation.

Sermons in This Series:

Galatians 1:1-10   True Gospel
Benjamin Hatch  |  October 15, 2017

In the first verses of the book, the Apostle Paul boldly declares the centrality and the uniqueness of the Gospel that he preached: the gospel of justification by grace through faith.

Galatians 1:11-2:14   True Authority
Benjamin Hatch  |  October 22, 2017

Paul continues his argument by proving that his Gospel has legitimate spiritual authority because it comes from Jesus Christ and is consistent with the witness of the other Apostles. We discuss how to discern between legitimate and illegitimate claims of spiritual authority today.

Galatians 2:15-3:5   True Justification
Benjamin Hatch  |  October 29, 2017

On this Sunday in which we celebrated the 500th anniversary of the beginning of the Reformation, we come to Paul's central theological declarations in Galatians: that justification is by faith, apart from the Law and that justification is by grace on the basis of the death of Christ, which has concluded Law of Moses.

Galatians 3:6-29   True Children of Abraham
November 5, 2017

​Paul continues his theological argument by refuting the false teachers' allegation that a Gentile is included in the blessings of Abraham by becoming an Israelite by revealing the truth about how Abraham was saved, and revealing the true purpose of the Law of Moses.

Galatians 4:1-31   True Children & Heirs of God
Benjamin Hatch  |  November 12, 2017

​Paul concludes his theological response to the Galatian Heresy with an argument based on the flow of redemptive history, a personal argument, and a Biblical argument.

Galatians 5:1-12   True Freedom: Not Legalism
Brian Pikkula  |  November 19, 2017

​Paul begins the practical part of his argument by declaring that Christ intends for the believer to have true freedom. As a result, the Galatians must not voluntarily surrender that freedom in apostasy. 

Galatians 5:13-26   True Freedom: Not Licentiousness
Benjamin Hatch  |  December 3, 2017

​Not wanting his arguments about the nature of true freedom in Christ to be misunderstood, Paul declares that liberation in the Gospel is not an opportunity for sin. Instead, the believer is called to submit to the leadership of the Holy Spirit in warring against sin.

Galatians 6:1-18   True Life in the Community
Benjamin Hatch  |  December 10, 2017

Paul concludes his letter to the Galatians by explaining what it looks like when believers walk by the Spirit's leadership in the local church: by loving involvement in the lives of one another.
