575 Sons of Abraham (Gal. Pt. 21)

572 Cleansing Their Hearts by Faith (Gal. Pt. 19)
Galatians 3:4-5 // The Gentiles had been suffering persecution for believing in Yeshua. They had also had mighty miracles done among them through the hands of the Apostles. How was this accomplished?

571 Hearing With Faith (Gal. Pt. 18)
Galatians 3:1-3 // Paul minces no words when he calls the Galatians foolish and hypnotized. Make no mistake about it, there are religious men in the world who you need to avoid. This lesson also talks about how a person receives the Spirit, and how that if you have received the Spirit, you need not doubt when a self-proclaimed "prophet" tells you otherwise.

570 Trying to Purchase a Gift (Gal. Pt. 17)

569 The Mystery of the Gentiles (Eph. 3:1-6, Pt. 14)
There are some things that were concealed in the Old Testament that were revealed in the New Testament, at the time of the Apostles and Prophets. The Old Testament saints caught a glimpse of such things, but only later did the picture become clear.

568 Who is My Friend? (Exodus 18:1-12)
Some people will push you far away from Yahweh, while others will push you nearer to Yahweh. Choose your friends wisely.

567 We Are Yahweh's House (Eph. 2:19-22, Pt. 13)
If we are in Messiah, we are not guests or outcasts, we are citizens of heaven, right along with our brother Yeshua. This status is available to anyone who places their faith in the cornerstone that Yahweh laid.

566 Don't Set Aside Yahweh's Grace (Gal. Pt. 16)
Galatians 2:17-21 // Yahweh's law is perfect. Yahweh's law is good. There is nothing wrong with Yahweh's law - AT ALL - but... Yahweh's law was not designed by Yahweh to be an instrument of justification. Yahweh's law was not designed by Yahweh to remove sin. If we try to use the law in a way it is not designed to be used, we are making void the grace of Yahweh.

565 We Are All Sinners (Gal. Pt. 15)
Galatians 2:15-16 // When all the dust settles, Judahite-Israelites by birth are just as much sinners as Gentiles. No man is declared justified (acquitted) by the works of the law, because no man is complete in Torah.
Sep 05, 2017•32 min
564 An Open Rebuke for the Gospel's Sake (Gal. Pt. 14)
Galatians 2:11-14 // Paul gave Peter an open rebuke, but it wasn't because he disagreed with him on how to observe a commandment, it was because Peter was deviating from the truth of the gospel to the Gentiles.

563 Division was NOT the Intention - Pt. 2 (Eph. 2:14-18, Pt. 12)
Within a natural body, there are many different parts, yet diversity does not mean harmony. It should be the same within the spiritual body of Messiah. Yeshua is our common bond. He is our peace.

562 The Elders Agree with Paul (Gal. Pt. 13)
Galatians 2:6-10 // Paul respected the Jerusalem leadership, and that leadership gave Paul and Barnabus the right hand of fellowship. They agree with Paul's gospel; an uncircumcised heathen could be saved from his sins and be in a right relationship with Yahweh, simply by placing trust in Yeshua, the One Yahweh sent.

561 No Budging Off the Gospel (Gal. Pt. 12)
Galatians 2:3-5 // Titus the Greek wasn't forced to be circumcised. Why? Would Titus have done wrong by getting circumcised? Listen to learn the important first century context of what was taking place in and around Jerusalem, Israel when people received the message of the good news about Yeshua.

560 The Authority of the Elders (Gal. Pt. 11)

Jul 31, 2017•57 min
549 Division was NOT the Intention (Eph. 2:11-13, Pt. 11)
How do we view people, Christian people, who are not entirely as we are? Listen to this lesson to learn how that in the Messiah, we are one with those who are in the Messiah, even when they aren't as we are, or as we think they need to be.
Jul 24, 2017•42 min
548 No Consulting with Flesh and Blood (Gal. Pt. 10)
1:16b-24 // Paul finishes out the intro to his letter by further demonstrating that his gospel did not originate by his going to those who were apostles before him. This man had a mighty encounter with the risen Master. (At the end, I speak about how our identity is found in the gospel.)
Jul 09, 2017•29 min
547 The Revelation of the Son (Gal. Pt. 9)
Galatians 1:15-16 // What was the major shift in Saul's life after his encounter on the road to Damascus? And what was the purpose of this encounter? Saul (Paul) tells us in this text.
Jul 02, 2017•35 min
546 Yahweh, Not You - Pt. 2 (Eph. 2:8-10, Pt. 10)
The only thing we contribute to our salvation is the sin that makes is necessary for us to be saved. If we are dead in trespasses and sins, and we do not desire Yahweh (or seek Yahweh), how are we then saved? This lesson explains that grace and faith are gifts given to us by our Creator.

545 Set Apart from the Womb (Gal. Pt. 8)
Galatians 1:14b-15 // What are the ancestral traditions Paul was zealous for, and how does this effect our reading the word "law" in the epistle to the Galatians? I also look at how we never know who Yahweh has called to be his child, so we should always approach people with love and care, in hopes that one day they will receive the gospel about Yeshua of Nazareth.
Jun 16, 2017•35 min
544 Saul's Advancement in Judaism (Gal. Pt. 7)
Galatians 1:14 // Before Saul encountered Yeshua in a saving way, he was involved in the religion of Judaism. What does this mean? Is this a false religion? Did Saul give up everything he believed to go follow Yeshua?
Jun 09, 2017•26 min
543 Saul's Former Life (Gal. Pt. 6)
Galatians 1:11-13 // Saul uses, as proof that he was not taught the gospel by man, his former manner of life inside of Judaism. Paul hated and hunted the ministers of the gospel prior to his Damascus road experience.
Jun 02, 2017•35 min
542 Deserting the Gospel (Gal. Pt. 5)
Galatians 1:6-10 // Paul warns the Gentiles that they are leaving the message he taught them during his stay there. He pronounces a curse on those who distort the gospel, and speaks to his now servitude to the Messiah rather than being a man-pleaser.
May 26, 2017•33 min
541 Apostle Not of Man (Gal. Pt. 4)
Galatians 1:1-5 // Paul greets the congregations in Galatia, but within this greeting he emphasizes that his apostleship is not based on human authority. Why does he do this?
May 25, 2017•35 min
540 A Light to the Gentiles (Gal. Pt. 3)
More on the background and historical context of Paul's epistle to the Galatians. I finish going through Acts 13, which if understood will do wonders in helping one understand Paul's later epistle.

539 The Recipients of Galatians (Gal. Pt. 2)
In order to understand Paul's letter to the Galatians, we need to know to whom he was specifically writing. The answer lies not on the surface, but underneath an experience he had while on a missionary journey to the area known as Galatia.
May 11, 2017•32 min
538 Intro to Galatians (Gal. Pt. 1)
When we approach a book of the Bible, especially a single letter, we must pay close attention to the author and recipients. Historical context is a must if we are serious about arriving at the proper interpretation. Not taking into account the when and why will lead us to erroneous conclusions.

537 Yahweh, Not You - Pt. 1 (Eph. 2:1-7, Pt. 9)
A dead person can't make decisions. We were all once (or still are) dead in trespasses and sins. Something had to take place. His name is Yahweh.
