Christ Church Tyler
Epiphany #12 (Galatians, Pt. 7 - "Freedom for ... What?")

Looking at Galatians 5:16-26, we saw that Christ calls us to freedom, but freedom for what? Paul's answer: freedom for shalom, freedom for desire, and freedom for community.

Epiphany #11 - Galatians, Pt. 5 "Freedom for Christ"

In Galatians 1-4, Paul passionately argues what the Gospel is not: it is not "the works of the law," which for us comes to mean traditional religiosity. But this still leaves us with the question: "What IS the Gospel?" Today we begin to see that the Gospel of Jesus is all about freedom. We looked at 1) freedom's "slipperyness," 2) freedom's opposite, and 3) freedom's dynamics.

Epiphany #10 (Galatians, pt. 5)

What does Paul mean in Galatians by "jusification?" God designed us to live for his approval, for his applause. To be justified is by faith to begin to hear and receive his approval, his applause of you in Jesus Christ.

Epiphany #9 (Galatians: New Freedom, New Fam, pt. 4)

Want to anger an Apostle? Ruin the Feast by exlcluding others. Such exclusionism tells lies about God and the Gospel of Free Grace.

Epiphany #8 (Galatians: New Freedom, New Family)

We saw how St. Paul, a former "elder brother type" (listen to last week's podcast) gives his testimony / autobiography, showing how real change is possible in the Gospel of Jesus.

Epiphany #7

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.

Epiphany #5

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.

Epiphany #4
