week 11 – Galatians 1 – “Fellowship with the Father & the transformation that brings”

This week we’re talking about Galatians 1.

Paul wrote the letter of Galatians to the churches in Galatia (modern day southern Turkey), because he loved them dearly. He founded their churches on his missionary journeys and visited them many times.

But they just couldn’t seem to keep on the right path. People kept trying to weave Judaism & Christianity together, teaching some of the “Jesus” things as well as all the old laws & justified by the rules things.

But they were totally missing the fact that the “Jesus” things were actually making a way to the Father WITHOUT the old law, that couldn’t justify you at all actually.

Christianity isn’t a bunch of rules, it is fellowship with the Father proved by & through Jesus His Son.

So that’s what the Book of Galatians is all about, reminding & encouraging in that truth & freedom.

And the LIFESTYLE that flows out of that fellowship.

Not rules that try to get you to God.

But Coming to God through Jesus, & letting Him shape your lifestyle and transformation BECAUSE of that close fellowship & love.

It’s beautiful really 🙂 … so beautiful

In Galatians 1 Paul introduces this idea & goes into detail about his personal transformation.

They were doubting his true Apostleship, but no one could take away the transformation the God had brought in his life.

QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF

1. What transformation has God brought in YOUR life that no one can take away?
   
   
2. Has your focus shifted away from fellowship with the Father to trying to be justified by your actions like the Galatians were?
   
   
3. How can you let all that and just come back to fellowship with the Father through Jesus?
   
   
4. How can you let that renewed fellowship shape your life & lifestyle from the inside out?
   
   
5. As far as transformation goes… (verse 24) how can people praise God because of the transformation that has happened in your life?
   
   
6. How public can you make that transformation so that they CAN praise God & be pointed to His incredible love & power & freedom?

SCRIPTURE

Galatians 1

WEEKLY FOCUS

This week, read through GALATIANS 1 as many times as you want to.

Think about the TRANSFORMATION JESUS HAS BROUGHT IN YOUR LIFE & YOUR FELLOWSHIP WITH THE FATHER.

Ask God if there are any areas in your life that need some reshaping in order to LIVE TRANSFORMED & CLOSE WITH HIM.

Let this theme guide your God time all week, and even your thoughts and conversation with Him through out your days, all week long.

Let Him speak to you about this idea of WALKING IN CLOSE FELLOWSHIP & TRANSFORMED, and see what He says.

We’d love to hear your feedback/thoughts/questions, so hop into the Bible Studies conversation thread in SLACK & we’re excited to see what the Lord speaks to you this week.

BLESSINGS!
