Paul ends his letter to the Galatians by challenging them to look at the product of their religion. It is actually changing them into new people or simply a self-focus source of pride?

If one is truly mature in Christ they will seek the benefit of others, especially those in need. Also, when they complete their duty they will not seek glory as if they did something special but rather that it was what they ought to have done. 

In this passage, Paul walks through the two paths of life that each person must choose on a consistent basis: either the way of the flesh or the way of the Spirit.

Paul transitions his argumentation toward the purpose of freedom and how the Galatians, in their pursuit of holiness, are actually abandoning their righteousness by going back to spiritual slavery. 

Paul continues in his argumentation against the Galatians and now turns to allegory.

This episode covers Paul's transition from logic-based theology to personal appeal in his attempt to convince the Galatians they have abandoned their faith and him in their pursuit of Judaism. 

This episode explores the equality under both sin and therefore the gospel through faith. Those who are of this faith are the heirs of the promise given to Abraham.

This episode discusses Paul's interpretation of the promise to Abraham, that the Messiah is the "seed" mentioned in the promise given to Abraham from God.

This episode discusses Paul's argument that the Galatians are turning against the Gospel and truth they once believed by their new desire to be back under the Law of Moses. 

In this passage, Paul speaks about the role of the law of Moses and how the promise of salvation through faith compare in the life of the Christian.

In the episode, we discuss the issue of Jewish ceremonial practices based on the Law of Moses and the conflict that arose in the early church surrounding their importance. 

This episode explores Paul's statements about his past and ultimately how they did not accomplish what he was seeking and what the Galatians are now seeking.

This is the first episode of season 7, which is our coverage of Paul's epistle to the Galatians. He begins his introduction with the authority and source of his gospel message. He then confronts the Galatians for their turning to what he calls a "false gospel".

This episode wraps up season 6 and 2 Peter with a strong call to continue to live in a disciplined way that focuses on the gospel and not potential teachings that might sound good but are destructive. 

This episode begins chapter 3 and Peter's call to remember the teachings of Christ. This is essential in a time when doubters will try to convince those of faith that they believe in vain. 

This section continues on the description of false teachers and their approach to weaker Christians who are seeking relief from the often troubling  experiences of a Christ-follower.

Peter begins chapter two with a discussion of the coming of false teachers in the church, the main departure of their teaching being their denial of Jesus.

This episode gets into the details of the source of Peter's message and why it can be trusted. 

As we kick off this book/letter, we discuss some issues pertaining to the reception of the letter. Peter claims God's divine power is given to the Christian and the response to such a gift ultimately determines how the gospel changes the life of the believer. 

This season finale wraps up 1 Peter as he addresses the need for leaders to lead, and the church to follow, with humility and affection in accordance with the life and actions of Jesus.
