www.blb.orgAct 9:1 Meanwhile, Saul was still breathing out murderous threats against the Lord's disciples. He went to the high priest
Act 9:2 and asked him for letters to the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he found any there who belonged to the Way, whether men or women, he might take them as prisoners to Jerusalem.
Act 9:3 As he neared Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him.
Act 9:4 He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, "Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?"
Act 9:5 "Who are you, Lord?" Saul asked. "I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting," he replied.
Act 9:6 "Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do."
Act 9:7 The men traveling with Saul stood there speechless; they heard the sound but did not see anyone.
Act 9:8 Saul got up from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he could see nothing. So they led him by the hand into Damascus.
Act 9:9 For three days he was blind, and did not eat or drink anything.
Act
9:10 In Damascus there was a disciple named Ananias. The Lord called to him in a vision, "Ananias!" "Yes, Lord," he answered.
Act
9:11 The Lord told him, "Go to the house of Judas on Straight Street and ask for a man from Tarsus named Saul, for he is praying.
Act
9:12 In a vision he has seen a man named Ananias come and place his hands on him to restore his sight."
Act
9:13 "Lord," Ananias answered, "I have heard many reports about this man and all the harm he has done to your saints in Jerusalem.
Act
9:14 And he has come here with authority from the chief priests to arrest all who call on your name."
Act
9:15 But the Lord said to Ananias, "Go! This man is my chosen instrument to carry my name before the Gentiles and their kings and before the people of Israel.
Act
9:16 I will show him how much he must suffer for my name."
Act
9:17 Then Ananias went to the house and entered it. Placing his hands on Saul, he said, "Brother Saul, the Lord--Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you were coming here--has sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit."
Act
9:18 Immediately, something like scales fell from Saul's eyes, and he could see again. He got up and was baptized,
Act
9:19 and after taking some food, he regained his strength. Saul spent several days with the disciples in Damascus.
Act
9:20 At once he began to preach in the synagogues that Jesus is the Son of God.
Act
9:21 All those who heard him were astonished and asked, "Isn't he the man who raised havoc in Jerusalem among those who call on this name? And hasn't he come here to take them as prisoners to the chief priests?"
Act
9:22 Yet Saul grew more and more powerful and baffled the Jews living in Damascus by proving that Jesus is the Christ. [fn]
any observations so far?
This is going to be a very discussional class
Brandon: Acts9:2 the way
Tony: there you go
female: what do you want me to do?, then in verse 10, what is that you want me to do
Jim: he's has murderous threats in verse 10, now he's speaking for the Lord
Tony: yeah, he was speaking murderously... the rage against Christians, their sin of rejecting Jesus is getting worse of worse murderous, the progression of sin gets worse, the Pharisees gets worse and worsde
male: student, Saul calls Jesus Lord, so its relational, so is that what that means?
Tony: Yeah, Paul's history in theology, so he knows its the Lord, right, yeah
male: right
female: it is hard for you to kick against the goads, the natural path to follow God,... people skip over that, its crucial to understand, to fight against what you're supposed to follow after. The quick conversion Paul had, if Saul & Annias had not obey then all this would not have happened this way which was so crucial.
Mike: Saul got permission. another verse in the NT, "They will think they are doing God service but they killed the Christians
Tony: yeah, everyone was coming together to conspire to kill Jesus
Let's continue Acts11
Act 11:1 The apostles and the brothers throughout Judea heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God.
Act 11:2 So when Peter went up to Jerusalem, the circumcised believers criticized him
Act 11:3 and said, "You went into the house of uncircumcised men and ate with them."
Act 11:4 Peter began and explained everything to them precisely as it had happened:
Act 11:5 "I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision. I saw something like a large sheet being let down from heaven by its four corners, and it came down to where I was.
Act 11:6 I looked into it and saw four-footed animals of the earth, wild beasts, reptiles, and birds of the air.
Act 11:7 Then I heard a voice telling me, 'Get up, Peter. Kill and eat.'
Act 11:8 "I replied, 'Surely not, Lord! Nothing impure or unclean has ever entered my mouth.'
Act 11:9 "The voice spoke from heaven a second time, 'Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.'
Act
11:10 This happened three times, and then it was all pulled up to heaven again.
Act
11:11 "Right then three men who had been sent to me from Caesarea stopped at the house where I was staying.
Act
11:12 The Spirit told me to have no hesitation about going with them. These six brothers also went with me, and we entered the man's house.
Act
11:13 He told us how he had seen an angel appear in his house and say, 'Send to Joppa for Simon who is called Peter.
Act
11:14 He will bring you a message through which you and all your household will be saved.'
Act
11:15 "As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit came on them as he had come on us at the beginning.
Act
11:16 Then I remembered what the Lord had said: 'John baptized with [fn] water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.'
Act
11:17 So if God gave them the same gift as he gave us, who believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I to think that I could oppose God?"
Act
11:18 When they heard this, they had no further objections and praised God, saying, "So then, God has granted even the Gentiles repentance unto life."
Act
11:19 Now those who had been scattered by the persecution in connection with Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus and Antioch, telling the message only to Jews.
Act
11:20 Some of them, however, men from Cyprus and Cyrene, went to Antioch and began to speak to Greeks also, telling them the good news about the Lord Jesus.
Act
11:21 The Lord's hand was with them, and a great number of people believed and turned to the Lord.
Act
11:22 News of this reached the ears of the church at Jerusalem, and they sent Barnabas to Antioch.
Act
11:23 When he arrived and saw the evidence of the grace of God, he was glad and encouraged them all to remain true to the Lord with all their hearts.
Act
11:24 He was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and faith, and a great number of people were brought to the Lord.
Act
11:25 Then Barnabas went to Tarsus to look for Saul,
Act
11:26 and when he found him, he brought him to Antioch. So for a whole year Barnabas and Saul met with the church and taught great numbers of people. The disciples were called Christians first at Antioch.
Acts11:26 Christian is first mentioned
Act
11:27 During this time some prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch.
Act
11:28 One of them, named Agabus, stood up and through the Spirit predicted that a severe famine would spread over the entire Roman world. (This happened during the reign of Claudius.)
Act
11:29 The disciples, each according to his ability, decided to provide help for the brothers living in Judea.
Act
11:30 This they did, sending their gift to the elders by Barnabas and Saul.
Gal 1:1 Paul, an apostle--sent not from men nor by man, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead--
Gal 1:2 and all the brothers with me, To the churches in Galatia:
Gal 1:3 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ,
Gal 1:4 who gave himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father,
Gal 1:5 to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
Gal 1:6 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel--
Gal 1:7 which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ.
Gal 1:8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned!
Gal 1:9 As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let him be eternally condemned!
Write anything that sticks out to you, do you see any parallels three days, very interesting
Gal
1:10 Am I now trying to win the approval of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ.
Gal
1:11 I want you to know, brothers, that the gospel I preached is not something that man made up.
Gal
1:12 I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it; rather, I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ.
Gal
1:13 For you have heard of my previous way of life in Judaism, how intensely I persecuted the church of God and tried to destroy it.
Gal
1:14 I was advancing in Judaism beyond many Jews of my own age and was extremely zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
Gal
1:15 But when God, who set me apart from birth [fn] and called me by his grace, was pleased
Gal
1:16 to reveal his Son in me so that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I did not consult any man,
Gal
1:17 nor did I go up to Jerusalem to see those who were apostles before I was, but I went immediately into Arabia and later returned to Damascus.
Gal
1:18 Then after three years, I went up to Jerusalem to get acquainted with Peter [fn] and stayed with him fifteen days.
Gal
1:19 I saw none of the other apostles--only James, the Lord's brother.
Gal
1:20 I assure you before God that what I am writing you is no lie.
Gal
1:21 Later I went to Syria and Cilicia.
Gal
1:22 I was personally unknown to the churches of Judea that are in Christ.
Let's continue Acts11
Acts11:19
Act 11:1 The apostles and the brothers throughout Judea heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God.
Act 11:2 So when Peter went up to Jerusalem, the circumcised believers criticized him
Act 11:3 and said, "You went into the house of uncircumcised men and ate with them."

Act
11:24 He was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and faith, and a great number of people were brought to the Lord.
Act
11:25 Then Barnabas went to Tarsus to look for Saul,
Act
11:26 and when he found him, he brought him to Antioch. So for a whole year Barnabas and Saul met with the church and taught great numbers of people. The disciples were called Christians first at Antioch.
Acts11:26 The first time mentioned "Christian"
Act
11:27 During this time some prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch.
Act
11:28 One of them, named Agabus, stood up and through the Spirit predicted that a severe famine would spread over the entire Roman world. (This happened during the reign of Claudius.)
Act
11:29 The disciples, each according to his ability, decided to provide help for the brothers living in Judea.
Act
11:30 This they did, sending their gift to the elders by Barnabas and Saul.
Act 12:1 It was about this time that King Herod arrested some who belonged to the church, intending to persecute them.
Act 12:2 He had James, the brother of John, put to death with the sword.
Act
12:25 When Barnabas and Saul had finished their mission, they returned from [fn] Jerusalem, taking with them John, also called Mark.
Act 13:1 In the church at Antioch there were prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen (who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch) and Saul.
Act 13:2 While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, "Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them."
Act 13:3 So after they had fasted and prayed, they placed their hands on them and sent them off.
Act 13:4 The two of them, sent on their way by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia and sailed from there to Cyprus.
Act 13:5 When they arrived at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the Jewish synagogues. John was with them as their helper.
Act 13:6 They traveled through the whole island until they came to Paphos. There they met a Jewish sorcerer and false prophet named Bar-Jesus,
Act 13:7 who was an attendant of the proconsul, Sergius Paulus. The proconsul, an intelligent man, sent for Barnabas and Saul because he wanted to hear the word of God.
Act 13:8 But Elymas the sorcerer (for that is what his name means) opposed them and tried to turn the proconsul from the faith.
Act 13:9 Then Saul, who was also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked straight at Elymas and said,
Act
13:10 "You are a child of the devil and an enemy of everything that is right! You are full of all kinds of deceit and trickery. Will you never stop perverting the right ways of the Lord?
Act
13:11 Now the hand of the Lord is against you. You are going to be blind, and for a time you will be unable to see the light of the sun." Immediately mist and darkness came over him, and he groped about, seeking someone to lead him by the hand.
Act
13:12 When the proconsul saw what had happened, he believed, for he was amazed at the teaching about the Lord.
Act
13:13 From Paphos, Paul and his companions sailed to Perga in Pamphylia, where John left them to return to Jerusalem.
Act
13:14 From Perga they went on to Pisidian Antioch. On the Sabbath they entered the synagogue and sat down.
Act
13:15 After the reading from the Law and the Prophets, the synagogue rulers sent word to them, saying, "Brothers, if you have a message of encouragement for the people, please speak."
Act
13:16 Standing up, Paul motioned with his hand and said: "Men of Israel and you Gentiles who worship God, listen to me!
Act
13:17 The God of the people of Israel chose our fathers; he made the people prosper during their stay in Egypt, with mighty power he led them out of that country,
Act
13:18 he endured their conduct [fn] for about forty years in the desert,
Act
13:19 he overthrew seven nations in Canaan and gave their land to his people as their inheritance.
Act
13:20 All this took about 450 years. "After this, God gave them judges until the time of Samuel the prophet.
Act
13:21 Then the people asked for a king, and he gave them Saul son of Kish, of the tribe of Benjamin, who ruled forty years.
Act
13:22 After removing Saul, he made David their king. He testified concerning him: 'I have found David son of Jesse a man after my own heart; he will do everything I want him to do.'
Act
13:23 "From this man's descendants God has brought to Israel the Savior Jesus, as he promised.
Act
13:24 Before the coming of Jesus, John preached repentance and baptism to all the people of Israel.
Act
13:25 As John was completing his work, he said: 'Who do you think I am? I am not that one. No, but he is coming after me, whose sandals I am not worthy to untie.'
Act
13:26 "Brothers, children of Abraham, and you God-fearing Gentiles, it is to us that this message of salvation has been sent.
Act
13:27 The people of Jerusalem and their rulers did not recognize Jesus, yet in condemning him they fulfilled the words of the prophets that are read every Sabbath.
Act
13:28 Though they found no proper ground for a death sentence, they asked Pilate to have him executed.
Act
13:29 When they had carried out all that was written about him, they took him down from the tree and laid him in a tomb.
Act
13:30 But God raised him from the dead,
Act
13:31 and for many days he was seen by those who had traveled with him from Galilee to Jerusalem. They are now his witnesses to our people.
Act
13:32 "We tell you the good news: What God promised our fathers
Act
13:33 he has fulfilled for us, their children, by raising up Jesus. As it is written in the second Psalm: "'You are my Son; today I have become your Father. [fn]' [fn]
Act
13:34 The fact that God raised him from the dead, never to decay, is stated in these words: "'I will give you the holy and sure blessings promised to David.' [fn]
Act
13:35 So it is stated elsewhere: "'You will not let your Holy One see decay.' [fn]
Act
13:36 "For when David had served God's purpose in his own generation, he fell asleep; he was buried with his fathers and his body decayed.
Act
13:37 But the one whom God raised from the dead did not see decay.
Act
13:38 "Therefore, my brothers, I want you to know that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you.
Act
13:39 Through him everyone who believes is justified from everything you could not be justified from by the law of Moses.
Act
13:40 Take care that what the prophets have said does not happen to you:
Act
13:41 "'Look, you scoffers, wonder and perish, for I am going to do something in your days that you would never believe, even if someone told you.' [fn]"
Act
13:42 As Paul and Barnabas were leaving the synagogue, the people invited them to speak further about these things on the next Sabbath.
Act
13:43 When the congregation was dismissed, many of the Jews and devout converts to Judaism followed Paul and Barnabas, who talked with them and urged them to continue in the grace of God.
Act
13:44 On the next Sabbath almost the whole city gathered to hear the word of the Lord.
Act
13:45 When the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy and talked abusively against what Paul was saying.
Act
13:46 Then Paul and Barnabas answered them boldly: "We had to speak the word of God to you first. Since you reject it and do not consider yourselves worthy of eternal life, we now turn to the Gentiles.
Act
13:47 For this is what the Lord has commanded us: "'I have made you [fn] a light for the Gentiles, that you [fn] may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.' [fn]"
Act
13:48 When the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and honored the word of the Lord; and all who were appointed for eternal life believed.
Act
13:49 The word of the Lord spread through the whole region.
Act
13:50 But the Jews incited the God-fearing women of high standing and the leading men of the city. They stirred up persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them from their region.
Act
13:51 So they shook the dust from their feet in protest against them and went to Iconium.
Act
13:52 And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.
Act 14:1 At Iconium Paul and Barnabas went as usual into the Jewish synagogue. There they spoke so effectively that a great number of Jews and Gentiles believed.
Act 14:2 But the Jews who refused to believe stirred up the Gentiles and poisoned their minds against the brothers.
Act 14:3 So Paul and Barnabas spent considerable time there, speaking boldly for the Lord, who confirmed the message of his grace by enabling them to do miraculous signs and wonders.
Act 14:4 The people of the city were divided; some sided with the Jews, others with the apostles.
ACTS14:4 KEY VERSE
Act 14:5 There was a plot afoot among the Gentiles and Jews, together with their leaders, to mistreat them and stone them.
Act 14:6 But they found out about it and fled to the Lycaonian cities of Lystra and Derbe and to the surrounding country,
Act 14:7 where they continued to preach the good news.
Act 14:8 In Lystra there sat a man crippled in his feet, who was lame from birth and had never walked.
Act 14:9 He listened to Paul as he was speaking. Paul looked directly at him, saw that he had faith to be healed
Act
14:10 and called out, "Stand up on your feet!" At that, the man jumped up and began to walk.
Act
14:11 When the crowd saw what Paul had done, they shouted in the Lycaonian language, "The gods have come down to us in human form!"
Act
14:12 Barnabas they called Zeus, and Paul they called Hermes because he was the chief speaker.
Act
14:13 The priest of Zeus, whose temple was just outside the city, brought bulls and wreaths to the city gates because he and the crowd wanted to offer sacrifices to them.
Act
14:14 But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard of this, they tore their clothes and rushed out into the crowd, shouting:
Act
14:15 "Men, why are you doing this? We too are only men, human like you. We are bringing you good news, telling you to turn from these worthless things to the living God, who made heaven and earth and sea and everything in them.
Act
14:16 In the past, he let all nations go their own way.
Act
14:17 Yet he has not left himself without testimony: He has shown kindness by giving you rain from heaven and crops in their seasons; he provides you with plenty of food and fills your hearts with joy."
Act
14:18 Even with these words, they had difficulty keeping the crowd from sacrificing to them.
Act
14:19 Then some Jews came from Antioch and Iconium and won the crowd over. They stoned Paul and dragged him outside the city, thinking he was dead.
Act
14:20 But after the disciples had gathered around him, he got up and went back into the city. The next day he and Barnabas left for Derbe.
in one verse they called Paul & Barnabas gods then now they want to kill them
Act
14:21 They preached the good news in that city and won a large number of disciples. Then they returned to Lystra, Iconium and Antioch,
Act
14:22 strengthening the disciples and encouraging them to remain true to the faith. "We must go through many hardships to enter the kingdom of God," they said.
Act
14:23 Paul and Barnabas appointed elders [fn] for them in each church and, with prayer and fasting, committed them to the Lord, in whom they had put their trust.
Act
14:24 After going through Pisidia, they came into Pamphylia,
Act
14:25 and when they had preached the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia.
Act
14:26 From Attalia they sailed back to Antioch, where they had been committed to the grace of God for the work they had now completed.
Act
14:27 On arriving there, they gathered the church together and reported all that God had done through them and how he had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles.
Act
14:28 And they stayed there a long time with the disciples.
Gal
1:23 They only heard the report: "The man who formerly persecuted us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy."
Gal
1:24 And they praised God because of me.
Acts15 is prior to the book of Galatians
so this is all background to Galatians, in Galatians 6 this big letters I write to you, means this is a very personal letter
see on the map, Antioch is home church base, from there they go to the southern parts of Galatia, in Acts14 they are making disciples, these are his first four church plants,
break
then dig into Galatians after the break
we looked at Acts the first journey, we'll look at Galatians, the main themes, write them down, transitions, whatever catches your mind
I'll be reading the HCSB
Galatians1 ESV
Paul, an apostle--sent not from men nor by man, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead--
Gal 1:2 and all the brothers with me, To the churches in Galatia:
Gal 1:3 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ,
Gal 1:4 who gave himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father,
Gal 1:5 to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
Gal 1:6 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel--
Gal 1:7 which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ.
Gal 1:8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned!
GALATIANS 1:8 memory verse due
Sept 10, 2012Gal 1:9 As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let him be eternally condemned!
Gal
1:10 Am I now trying to win the approval of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ.
Gal
1:11 I want you to know, brothers, that the gospel I preached is not something that man made up.
Gal
1:12 I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it; rather, I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ.
Gal
1:13 For you have heard of my previous way of life in Judaism, how intensely I persecuted the church of God and tried to destroy it.
Gal
1:14 I was advancing in Judaism beyond many Jews of my own age and was extremely zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
Gal
1:15 But when God, who set me apart from birth [fn] and called me by his grace, was pleased
Gal
1:16 to reveal his Son in me so that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I did not consult any man,
Gal
1:17 nor did I go up to Jerusalem to see those who were apostles before I was, but I went immediately into Arabia and later returned to Damascus.
Gal
1:18 Then after three years, I went up to Jerusalem to get acquainted with Peter [fn] and stayed with him fifteen days.
Gal
1:19 I saw none of the other apostles--only James, the Lord's brother.
Gal
1:20 I assure you before God that what I am writing you is no lie.
Gal
1:21 Later I went to Syria and Cilicia.
Gal
1:22 I was personally unknown to the churches of Judea that are in Christ.
Gal
1:23 They only heard the report: "The man who formerly persecuted us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy."
Gal
1:24 And they praised God because of me.
Gal 2:1 Fourteen years later I went up again to Jerusalem, this time with Barnabas. I took Titus along also.
Gal 2:2 I went in response to a revelation and set before them the gospel that I preach among the Gentiles. But I did this privately to those who seemed to be leaders, for fear that I was running or had run my race in vain.
Gal 2:3 Yet not even Titus, who was with me, was compelled to be circumcised, even though he was a Greek.
Gal 2:4 [This matter arose] because some false brothers had infiltrated our ranks to spy on the freedom we have in Christ Jesus and to make us slaves.
Gal 2:5 We did not give in to them for a moment, so that the truth of the gospel might remain with you.
Gal 2:6 As for those who seemed to be important--whatever they were makes no difference to me; God does not judge by external appearance--those men added nothing to my message.
Gal 2:7 On the contrary, they saw that I had been entrusted with the task of preaching the gospel to the Gentiles, [fn] just as Peter had been to the Jews. [fn]
Gal 2:8 For God, who was at work in the ministry of Peter as an apostle to the Jews, was also at work in my ministry as an apostle to the Gentiles.
Gal 2:9 James, Peter [fn] and John, those reputed to be pillars, gave me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship when they recognized the grace given to me. They agreed that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the Jews.
Gal
2:10 All they asked was that we should continue to remember the poor, the very thing I was eager to do.
Gal
2:11 When Peter came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he was clearly in the wrong.
Gal
2:12 Before certain men came from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles. But when they arrived, he began to draw back and separate himself from the Gentiles because he was afraid of those who belonged to the circumcision group.
Gal
2:13 The other Jews joined him in his hypocrisy, so that by their hypocrisy even Barnabas was led astray.
Gal
2:14 When I saw that they were not acting in line with the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter in front of them all, "You are a Jew, yet you live like a Gentile and not like a Jew. How is it, then, that you force Gentiles to follow Jewish customs?
Gal
2:15 "We who are Jews by birth and not 'Gentile sinners'
Gal
2:16 know that a man is not justified by observing the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by observing the law, because by observing the law no one will be justified.
Gal
2:17 "If, while we seek to be justified in Christ, it becomes evident that we ourselves are sinners, does that mean that Christ promotes sin? Absolutely not!
Gal
2:18 If I rebuild what I destroyed, I prove that I am a lawbreaker.
Gal
2:19 For through the law I died to the law so that I might live for God.
Gal
2:20 I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
GAL2:20 memory verse due
Sept 10, 2012 on quiz
Gal
2:21 I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!" [fn]
Gal 3:1 You foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified.
Gal 3:2 I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by observing the law, or by believing what you heard?
Gal 3:3 Are you so foolish? After beginning with the Spirit, are you now trying to attain your goal by human effort?
Gal 3:4 Have you suffered so much for nothing--if it really was for nothing?
Gal 3:5 Does God give you his Spirit and work miracles among you because you observe the law, or because you believe what you heard?
Gal 3:6 Consider Abraham: "He believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness." [fn]
Gal 3:7 Understand, then, that those who believe are children of Abraham.
Gal 3:8 The Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and announced the gospel in advance to Abraham: "All nations will be blessed through you." [fn]
Gal 3:9 So those who have faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.
Gal
3:10 All who rely on observing the law are under a curse, for it is written: "Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law." [fn]
Gal
3:11 Clearly no one is justified before God by the law, because, "The righteous will live by faith." [fn]
Gal
3:12 The law is not based on faith; on the contrary, "The man who does these things will live by them." [fn]
Gal
3:13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: "Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree." [fn]
Gal
3:14 He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.
Gal
3:15 Brothers, let me take an example from everyday life. Just as no one can set aside or add to a human covenant that has been duly established, so it is in this case.
Gal
3:16 The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. The Scripture does not say "and to seeds," meaning many people, but "and to your seed," [fn] meaning one person, who is Christ.
Gal
3:17 What I mean is this: The law, introduced 430 years later, does not set aside the covenant previously established by God and thus do away with the promise.
Gal
3:18 For if the inheritance depends on the law, then it no longer depends on a promise; but God in his grace gave it to Abraham through a promise.
Gal
3:19 What, then, was the purpose of the law? It was added because of transgressions until the Seed to whom the promise referred had come. The law was put into effect through angels by a mediator.
Gal
3:20 A mediator, however, does not represent just one party; but God is one.
Gal
3:21 Is the law, therefore, opposed to the promises of God? Absolutely not! For if a law had been given that could impart life, then righteousness would certainly have come by the law.
Gal
3:22 But the Scripture declares that the whole world is a prisoner of sin, so that what was promised, being given through faith in Jesus Christ, might be given to those who believe.
Gal
3:23 Before this faith came, we were held prisoners by the law, locked up until faith should be revealed.
Gal
3:24 So the law was put in charge to lead us to Christ [fn] that we might be justified by faith.
Gal
3:25 Now that faith has come, we are no longer under the supervision of the law.
Gal
3:26 You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus,
Gal
3:27 for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.
Gal
3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
Gal
3:29 If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
Gal 4:1 What I am saying is that as long as the heir is a child, he is no different from a slave, although he owns the whole estate.
Gal 4:2 He is subject to guardians and trustees until the time set by his father.
Gal 4:3 So also, when we were children, we were in slavery under the basic principles of the world.
Gal 4:4 But when the time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under law,
Gal 4:5 to redeem those under law, that we might receive the full rights of sons.
Gal 4:6 Because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, "Abba, [fn] Father."
Gal 4:7 So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and since you are a son, God has made you also an heir.
Gal 4:8 Formerly, when you did not know God, you were slaves to those who by nature are not gods.
Gal 4:9 But now that you know God--or rather are known by God--how is it that you are turning back to those weak and miserable principles? Do you wish to be enslaved by them all over again?
Gal
4:10 You are observing special days and months and seasons and years!
Gal
4:11 I fear for you, that somehow I have wasted my efforts on you.
Gal
4:12 I plead with you, brothers, become like me, for I became like you. You have done me no wrong.
Gal
4:13 As you know, it was because of an illness that I first preached the gospel to you.
Gal
4:14 Even though my illness was a trial to you, you did not treat me with contempt or scorn. Instead, you welcomed me as if I were an angel of God, as if I were Christ Jesus himself.
Gal
4:15 What has happened to all your joy? I can testify that, if you could have done so, you would have torn out your eyes and given them to me.
Gal
4:16 Have I now become your enemy by telling you the truth?
Gal
4:17 Those people are zealous to win you over, but for no good. What they want is to alienate you [from us], so that you may be zealous for them.
Gal
4:18 It is fine to be zealous, provided the purpose is good, and to be so always and not just when I am with you.
Gal
4:19 My dear children, for whom I am again in the pains of childbirth until Christ is formed in you,
Gal
4:20 how I wish I could be with you now and change my tone, because I am perplexed about you!
Gal
4:21 Tell me, you who want to be under the law, are you not aware of what the law says?
Gal
4:22 For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave woman and the other by the free woman.
Gal
4:23 His son by the slave woman was born in the ordinary way; but his son by the free woman was born as the result of a promise.
Gal
4:24 These things may be taken figuratively, for the women represent two covenants. One covenant is from Mount Sinai and bears children who are to be slaves: This is Hagar.
Gal
4:25 Now Hagar stands for Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present city of Jerusalem, because she is in slavery with her children.
Gal
4:26 But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother.
Gal
4:27 For it is written: "Be glad, O barren woman, who bears no children; break forth and cry aloud, you who have no labor pains; because more are the children of the desolate woman than of her who has a husband." [fn]
Gal
4:28 Now you, brothers, like Isaac, are children of promise.
Gal
4:29 At that time the son born in the ordinary way persecuted the son born by the power of the Spirit. It is the same now.
Gal
4:30 But what does the Scripture say? "Get rid of the slave woman and her son, for the slave woman's son will never share in the inheritance with the free woman's son." [fn]
Gal
4:31 Therefore, brothers, we are not children of the slave woman, but of the free woman.
Gal 5:1 It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.
Gal 5:2 Mark my words! I, Paul, tell you that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will be of no value to you at all.
Gal 5:3 Again I declare to every man who lets himself be circumcised that he is obligated to obey the whole law.
Gal 5:4 You who are trying to be justified by law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace.
Gal 5:5 But by faith we eagerly await through the Spirit the righteousness for which we hope.
Gal 5:6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.
Gal 5:7 You were running a good race. Who cut in on you and kept you from obeying the truth?
Gal 5:8 That kind of persuasion does not come from the one who calls you.
Gal 5:9 "A little yeast works through the whole batch of dough."
Gal
5:10 I am confident in the Lord that you will take no other view. The one who is throwing you into confusion will pay the penalty, whoever he may be.
Gal
5:11 Brothers, if I am still preaching circumcision, why am I still being persecuted? In that case the offense of the cross has been abolished.
Gal
5:12 As for those agitators, I wish they would go the whole way and emasculate themselves!
Gal
5:13 You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature [fn]; rather, serve one another in love.
Gal
5:14 The entire law is summed up in a single command: "Love your neighbor as yourself." [fn]
Gal
5:15 If you keep on biting and devouring each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other.
Gal
5:16 So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature.
Gal
5:17 For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want.
Gal
5:18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under law.
Gal
5:19 The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery;
Gal
5:20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions
Gal
5:21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.
Gal
5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
Gal
5:23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
Gal
5:24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires.
Gal
5:25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.
Gal
5:26 Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.
Gal 6:1 Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted.
Gal 6:2 Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.
Gal 6:3 If anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.
Gal 6:4 Each one should test his own actions. Then he can take pride in himself, without comparing himself to somebody else,
Gal 6:5 for each one should carry his own load.
Gal 6:6 Anyone who receives instruction in the word must share all good things with his instructor.
Gal 6:7 Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.
Gal 6:8 The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature [fn] will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.
Gal 6:9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
Gal
6:10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.
Gal
6:11 See what large letters I use as I write to you with my own hand!
Gal
6:12 Those who want to make a good impression outwardly are trying to compel you to be circumcised. The only reason they do this is to avoid being persecuted for the cross of Christ.
Gal
6:13 Not even those who are circumcised obey the law, yet they want you to be circumcised that they may boast about your flesh.
Gal
6:14 May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which [fn] the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
Gal
6:15 Neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything; what counts is a new creation.
Gal
6:16 Peace and mercy to all who follow this rule, even to the Israel of God.
Gal
6:17 Finally, let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus.
Gal
6:18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
So did reading Acts help you understand
Did it help you to read the whole book of Galatians?
class: yes you get the whole picture
female: so you don't take it out of context
Tony: yeah. In Genesis, God breathed, God puts His Spirit into man. God's word is inspired by Him, as we read, we bring life in us
Share the big pictures of what is going on as we read through Galatians,
Class:
Daniel: repentance
...Truth
...Grace
Faith
justification
gospel
law
love
Promise/Flesh
Spirit
Kindness
Freedom
works
Tony: They're moving from the law back into freedom
class:
two covenants, one from above causes us to be free, the other enslaves
self control
Spirit.
circumcision/uncircumcision
Tony: In reading Acts11, are you hearing where Paul is at, he's going over the same information in Galatians.
I'm with freedom, liberty within salvation & also in sanctification
We don't have to do anything to be sanctified, its just free, its walking in the Spirit, just as salvation is
God's grace bestowed upon us gives us freedom, we're free from the law, we're free to NOT sin
The circumcision/uncircumcision is talking about culture, the Jews & Gentiles
Paul was talking about bringing legalism into the churches of Galatia
What do Galatians1-2 speak of
Class:
about Paul, who he is
3-4 freedom, from the law to freedom, justification, faith
Tony: Paul is dealing with doctrine in Gal3-4
Class:
nothing has changed since Abraham
Tony: yeah that its about our need for Christ
what about Gal5-6
Class
Tony: Gal5-6 apply application
Gal emphasis is GRACE
Gal1-2 Paul's resume
Gal3-4 Doctrine
Gal5-6 application
15ad Jerusalem counsel
Jesus Christ crucified in ad30
this book Galatians was written early before the counsel,
Galatians is the hub of the wheel, then Romans and all the other books is tied into this book.
In Galatians Paul talks about carnal Christians, Galatians is paramount to reading Romans as well.
antithesis, contrasts throughout the whole book
The big picture is freedom for salvation & freedom in sanctification, we do nothing to get this, we're conditioned to work for it but God's grace is free, His love is divine.
We can only do it by abiding in Him
The flesh corrupts
Read the Bible, be in the Spirit, abide in Him.
any questions any comments?
Jim: Freedom in salvation & freedom in sanctification,
Tony: You don't have to do anything, in the next few weeks we're going to see that
The authorship, there's not much doubts that Paul is the author.
Paul is writing this letter because he's blown away that they're turning away from what the gospel of Christ gives
early 42-50ad Paul wrote Galatians
Andrew: Jn8:31-36 I see the correlation
Tony: read it.
Andrew: (reads Jn8:31-36)
Tony: that's cool, we see this character in Paul, probably the same age as Jesus but never crossed paths with Jesus except for the Damascus experience then Jesus talks Paul down
Paul is right in line with Jesus
Paul even says he was taught by the Lord, Paul gets everything from the Lord
everything he was the zeal, the legalism, he turned it to use for Christ
This is how we should be
How many are on Populi?
I'm going to post questions.
answer and respond to others too, its not graded, but its to get our minds going.
We'll be doing something with the Galatians book typed out handout. Mark notes bring it with you in two weeks Aug10, 2012
Nancy is going to Spain, she'll be taking this class in Spain, so keep her in prayer
There's no right or wrong responses in this, so at the end of the semester bring this printout in, you get one point, with the main point of the message.
I'm going to read the verses that are our memory verses, they will be on your quiz
Gal1:8 But though we or an angel...
Gal2:20

www.calvarychapelevangelism.com http://pluggedin.cccm.com/ministry/ The heart of Believers Plugged In is to see all believers, whether new in their faith or well seasoned in their walk, rooted and built up in the Lord. We desire to dissect the Word of God and get to the roots of the biblical foundations of our faith. To do this, we come together every
Tuesday night for a time of worship and in depth study of the Bible. Following this corporate time, the body breaks into small groups to complete the 14-week small group study curriculum. It is in this small group setting that true fellowship, discussion, and biblical understanding is developed. Small group leaders serve to come alongside each individual and encourage them in their faith.
