Heirs

Never Forget

Galatians 3:1-5 You irrational Galatians! Who put a spell on you? Jesus Christ was put on display as crucified before your eyes! 2 I just want to know this from you: Did you receive the Spirit by doing the works of the Law or by believing what you heard? 3 Are you so irrational?

Mission & Vision

Galatians 2:6-10  6 The influential leaders didn’t add anything to what I was preaching—and whatever they were makes no difference to me, because God doesn’t show favoritism. 7 But on the contrary, they saw that I had been given the responsibility to preach the gospel to the people who aren’t circumcised, just as Peter had been toContinue reading “Mission & Vision”

Unified Message

Galatians 2:2-5 2 I went there because of a revelation, and I laid out the gospel that I preach to the Gentiles for them.
