Galatians // June/July 2025
Sunday 3 August Pete James rounds off our series in Galatians by looking at how we live into the formation and freedom described in chapter 5 in community; with intentionality; and over time. Pete particularly emphasises the power of speaking truth in love to help the church mature.
Sunday 20 July Becky continues the series by looking at Galatians 5, where Paul urges the church to resist returning to the yoke of the law and instead live in the freedom Christ has already won. This passage teaches us that true transformation comes not through law or striving, but through the Spirit, who empowers us to walk in love and live from our secure identity in Jesus.
Sunday 6 July Galatians 3, continues the theme of salvation by faith alone, looking at unity within the church, the new family of God. Paul continues to urge the church to be unified. Georgi unpacks this and challenges us to look at what that means for us and our communities today.
Sunday 29 June In Galatians 2, Paul passionately defends Christ’s final and justifying work. Jonah explains that through a particular translation we can grasp more deeply the beauty and depth of Christ’s faithfulness, whereby we are swept up into His justifying work. This counters over-work, anxiety and the need to self justify.
Sunday 22 June Pete James kicks off our new series by giving an overview of the letter and what has got Paul so passionate. Three things rise to the surface: how we are saved; the nature of the church; and life in the Spirit. Pete closes with a question from chapter one: are we living more for the approval of man or of God?
