I don’t know if anybody’s seen those movies where they show these ballroom dances back in the 14th, 15th, 16th century, where there are very ornate motions and movements between the dance partners. I kind of picture my Christian life like that –  a dance. And here’s my dance as a believer.  1. I want […]

These are seven hard-hitting verses from Paul. He continues the discussion surrounding the “pedagogue and the ward” and what happens when the ward comes of age. …and something unexpected (to me) – a call to prayer. What if all it took to unleash God’s power in my life was prayer? What if all it took […]

In this episode we look at Galatians 3 v10-14. Paul explains WHY the Law can never bring justification. He will address this from three perspectives: 1. those who live under the law, are under the law’s curse. The law pronounces a curse upon everyone who fails to keep the law in its entirety. 2. no […]

Paul turns to the core theology of his Gospel – that Faith is enough. They were not saved by becoming circumcised – they were saved the instant they believed the Gospel. And this “believing” puts them in good company – Abraham!       You can view the video here: https://youtu.be/fp3fT5UERBE And the Audio-only version […]

In this passage, Paige discusses his experience in music composition and how understanding rules and theory did not enable him to compose like Mozart. The analogy is then applied to the first century, focusing on the Jewish nation’s reliance on rules derived from the examples and words of the  patriarchs. Paige then transitions to Paul’s […]

In this passage, the speaker continues discussing the conflict between Paul and the Judaizers in Galatia. The focus is on Peter’s actions in Antioch, where he initially associated with Gentiles but later withdrew due to pressure from the circumcision group. Paul confronts Peter publicly for his hypocrisy, emphasizing the truth of the gospel – that […]
