The Parable of the 2 Sons (Luke 15) gives us a window into the book of Galatians. The Older Brother = the Pharisees & Scribes of Luke 15 = the Judiazers of Paul's Letter to the Galatians.

This talk begins a new series: "Grace Changes Everything: New Freedom, New Family," rooted in the Book of Galatians. For a summary of this talk, see here:

We concluded our series on the integral wholeness of creation, this time looking at man and woman as well as humanity and the earth, seeing how the fall tore them apart, but how Jesus is putting them back together again.

We discussed body & soul, how God made them to go together, how they get ripped apart, and how Jesus puts them back together through his own self-disintegration.

We are honored to offer the remarks of The Most Reverend Archbishop Benjamin Kwashi of Jos, Nigeria, given on Oct. 2, 2010 at Christ Church (Episcopal), in Tyler, Texas.
