Download or read book Galatians written by Bruce G. Epperly and published by Energion Publications. This book was released on 2016-09-16 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With this volume on Paul's Letter to the Galatians, Dr Bruce Epperly, author of Philippians: A Participatory Study Guide, Finding God in Suffering: A Journey with Job, and Transforming Acts: Acts of the Apostles as a 21st Century Gospel, again brings the study of a Bible book to life for a 21st century audience. Epperly founds his work in the results on modern critical scholarship, but he's not content with reciting scholarship or discussing history. He aims to make the study of this theologically central letter a transformative experience. He does so by never losing sight of the fact that human problems remain human problems and that human potentiality, touched by God's grace, can accomplish great things. He finds a message of liberation in this book. Liberation from our guilt, yes, but also liberation from our self-imposed limitations. Through reading, discussion, exercises, and thought questions, he leads the reader through a study that can only be described as an adventure. It's an adventure you won't want to miss.

Download or read book Philippians and Galatians written by Stanley P. Saunders and published by Westminster John Knox Press. This book was released on 2001-08-01 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The letters to the Philippian and Galatian congregations illustrate well the passion and intensity of the writing of the apostle Paul. Philippians is perhaps Paul's warmest letter, affirming the already close relationship between the Philippians and Paul with the language of partnership, joy, and humility. Galatians, on the other hand, reveals frustration and anger and lacks the expression of thanksgiving typically found near the beginning of Paul's letters. Although Paul presumes a relationship of trust and respect with the Philippians, the tone of Galatians suggests that he thinks he may already have lost this community to an erroneous vision of the gospel - a perspective that was not really the gospel at all.
Download or read book Galatians Study Guide with DVD written by Jada Anae Edwards and published by Beautiful Word Bible Studies. This book was released on 2020-08-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you understand what people mean when they say you are Free in Christ? Are you living led by the Spirit or lost in the world? Is your life bearing good fruit? Most of us struggle to truly understand how it is we can know freedom without a set of rules to follow and even more so how to let go of the rules of this world and simply follow the Spirit into growth and blessing. Bible teacher and author Jada Edwards digs into the book of Galatians where we learn what freedom in Christ really means, how saying yes to the conviction and guidance of the Holy Spirit establishes this freedom and how through the Spirit we affect our communities and those around us in his name. The Holy Spirit tells us when to keep silent or speak up, to apologize, take risks, take rest, to say yes or no, and so much more. He gives us direction in the big dreams and in the daily steps. What fruit we yield is the final evidence of our freedom in Jesus Christ. Connecting these dots is paramount to our experience of true freedom and it takes a renewed understanding of what freedom Jesus really brings. We won't see different behavior in ourselves nor a different response from the world until we stand on this freedom and say no to anything less than the Gospel. The Book of Galatians teaches how yielding our desires to the work of the Holy Spirit within us encourages our faith, sets us free, and results in our lives being sources of change in the world around us. This pack contains one study guide and one DVD.

As people become more acquainted with gays and lesbians, they find their attitudes shifting and are rethinking their opposition not only to same-sex marriage but to gay rights in general. This book introduces the gay community to those who want to know more about their lives, their struggles, and their pursuit of full equality. If you are giving this serious thought, and want reliable information, this book is for you. It is also for LGBTs who wonder if God loves them and if any Christians are on their side. They will find that the Bible is very much on their side. It is written from the perspective of a straight Christian pastor who moved from opposition to LGBTs and their movement to fully embracing their cause. Through examining the biblical, scientific, psychological and constitutional evidence, a full picture emerges of a common humanity in pursuit of common needs. Many myths and lies are debunked, and a forthright Christian defense of marriage equality is presented.

Download or read book Bible Study Guide Galatians written by Andrew J. Lamont-Turner and published by Andrew J. Lamont-Turner. This book was released on with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The core message of the book of Galatians revolves around the concept of spiritual freedom attained through justification by grace through faith. This profound truth liberates believers from the constraints of the Old Testament Law. Paul vehemently condemns any attempt to undermine God’s grace or alter the purity of the gospel (Galatians 1:8–10). To reinforce his authority as an apostle, Paul recounts his divine calling and emphasises that righteousness is not achieved through adherence to the Law but through faith in Christ alone (Galatians 1:11–2:14; 2:21). He urges the Galatians to guard their independence and resist being burdened again by the yoke of bondage represented by the Mosaic law (Galatians 5:1). However, Paul also emphasises that Christian freedom should not be misconstrued as a license for indulging in sinful behaviour. Instead, it presents an opportunity to express love and serve one another (Galatians 5:13; 6:7–10). The Christian life is to be lived under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, not the desires of the flesh (Galatians 5:16–18). Crucially, Paul underscores the transformative power of Christ’s crucifixion, highlighting that believers are united with Christ in His death, leading to the production of spiritual fruit by the indwelling Spirit (Galatians 2:20). This spiritual fruit serves as evidence of a life lived in alignment with the grace and freedom found in Christ.
