Absolute Idiots. || Freedom In Jesus || Galatians 3:1-14
You IDIOTS!
Paul starts this part of his letter to the Galatians calling them absolute idiots. Why such a strong telling off? Tim explores the right and wrong way to live the #blessed life.

A strongly worded passage, this part of Paul's letter to the Galatians refers to another leader in the early church - Peter (or Cephas, same person). Paul calls out Peter's actions, as he was withdrawing from eating and interacting with those who weren't Jewish - a hypocritical action for someone proclaiming the good news of Jesus for all.
Kirk continues our series Freedom in Jesus, reminding us that there are no "those people" in Christianity, but rather we are one in Christ.
One of Tim's dear friends adding water to wine. Another squirting tomato sauce on pizza.
When we make additions to things that are already great, we can ruin them.
Jesus' message of grace and forgiveness is already everything we need. Adding to it will ruin it.
Tim continues our Freedom in Galatians series looking at Galatians 1:11-2:10.
Following Jesus is all it takes to be a Christian, but the church in first-century Galatia (now Turkey) tried to add things on top of that. Paul's letter to the Galatians starts off really nice - "grace and peace be with you!", but quickly, his tone changes and he sets things straight with the church.
