Galatians Series

In 2005 I prepared with other members of the ministry staff a series on Galatians for congregations of the Beverly Hills with Kingsgrove Anglican Churches. In Term 2, 2010 I am planning to preach Galatians again at our Mulgoa Evening church. Galatians is a great way to quickly see what is the content of the Apostle Paul's gospel and how much it means to him and to us. Preaching Galatians also allows me to complete writing a bible study series of 12 studies, and expand the sermon series to 12 talks, which means I need to review 6 existing talk scripts, subtantially expand and rework 3 talks, and write 3 new talks.

1. An Apostle's Angry Assertion: No Other Gospel (Galatians 1:1-10)

2. Paul's Apostolic Authority, Autobiography and Alibi (Galatians 1:11-24)

3. A Test for Teachers using Titus & the Pillars and their Partnership with Paul (Galatians 2:1-10)

4. The issue behind the issue at the Antioch Food Fight (Galatians 2:11-21)

5. Faith Righteousness shown from Spirit and Scripture (Galatians 3:1-9)

6. Christ Crucified: The Blessed One Cursed So the Cursed Many Blessed (Galatians 3:1, 10-14)

7. The Priority of the Promise and the Purpose of the Law (Galatians 3:15-25)

8. Not Slaves but Sons through the Son and Spirit (Galatians 3:26-4:11)

9. The Pleas of Paul Perplexed and his Tale of Two Cities (Galatians 4:12-31)

10. Freed from slavery to freely become slaves (Galatians 5:1-15)

11. March by the Spirit from under the law to fight the flesh (Galatians 5:16-26)

12. Bearing Both Burdens Brings Balanced Boasting (Galatians 6:1-10)

13. A Cause that Counts: The Cross of Christ and the New Creation, not Circumcision (Galatians 6:11-18)
