    Galatians 2:1-10 | Gospel-Ministry Affirmations

    Pastor Josh Cody continues preaching from the book of Galatians as he dives into Paul's apostolic ministry. Galatians 2:1-10 Then after fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus along with me. I went up because of a revelation and set before them (though privately before those who seemed influential) the gospel that I proclaim among the Gentiles, in order to make sure I was not running or had not run in vain. But even Titus, who was with me, was not forced to be circumcised, though he was a Greek. Yet because of false brothers secretly brought in—who slipped in to spy out our freedom that we have in Christ Jesus, so that they might bring us into slavery—to them we did not yield in submission even for a moment, so that the truth of the gospel might be preserved for you. And from those who seemed to be influential (what they were makes no difference to me; God shows no partiality)—those, I say, who seemed influential added nothing to me. On the contrary, when they saw that I had been entrusted with the gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been entrusted with the gospel to the circumcised (for he who worked through Peter for his apostolic ministry to the circumcised worked also through me for mine to the Gentiles), and when James and Cephas and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given to me, they gave the right hand of fellowship to Barnabas and me, that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised. Only, they asked us to remember the poor, the very thing I was eager to do. Sermon Notes: Main Point: Paul’s Apostolic Ministry is Validated on God’s Authority not Man’s Approval. I. Apostolic Ministry Stands on God's Authority II. Apostolic Ministry Stands Against False Brothers III. Apostolic Ministry Stands Affirmed by the Other Apostles Discussion Questions: 1. Why does Paul say he went up to Jerusalem? (vv. 1–2) 2. What did Paul set before the leaders in Jerusalem, and why did he do it privately? (v. 2) 3. What would have been at stake if the Jerusalem church had rejected Paul's gospel? 4. Where does Paul's authority as an apostle come from? (Gal 1:1) 5. What qualified Paul to be an apostle? (Acts 1:21–26) 6. Can someone today legitimately claim the same kind of apostolic authority Paul had? 7. Why can we be hesitant to clearly say what we believe? 8. Why would Jewish Christians have believed Gentile Christians needed to be circumcised? (Gen. 17:9–14) 9. What are some good or wise things Christians can turn into rules that God never commanded? 10. What happens when we treat our man-made rules as if they were God's commands? How does that affect our freedom in Christ? 11. What did the “right hand of fellowship” communicate about Paul's gospel and ministry? (vv. 7–10) 12. Where are you most tempted to measure your faithfulness by meeting other people's expectations rather than by trusting and obeying Christ?

    Galatians 1:11-24 | Gospel-Ministry Origins

    Pastor Blaine continues in Galatians, preaching about how Gospel ministry is FROM God and FOR God. Galatians 1:11-24 For I would have you know, brothers, that the gospel that was preached by me is not man's gospel. For I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ. For you have heard of my former life in Judaism, how I persecuted the church of God violently and tried to destroy it. And I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my own age among my people, so extremely zealous was I for the traditions of my fathers. But when he who had set me apart before I was born, and who called me by his grace, was pleased to reveal his Son to me, in order that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately consult with anyone; nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away into Arabia, and returned again to Damascus. Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas and remained with him fifteen days. But I saw none of the other apostles except James the Lord's brother. (In what I am writing to you, before God, I do not lie!) Then I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia. And I was still unknown in person to the churches of Judea that are in Christ. They only were hearing it said, “He who used to persecute us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy.” And they glorified God because of me. Sermon Notes: Main Idea: True Gospel Ministry Is From God and For God I. True Gospel Ministry Does Not Require a Predisposition II. True Gospel Ministry Does Require a Gift of Grace III. True Gospel Ministry Does Not Require Notoriety Discussion Questions: 1. In what way(s) do we view non-believers as either "close" to Jesus or "far" from Jesus? 2. Which of the three categories that Pastor Blaine gave do you find yourself in? 3. In what ways are you stewarding the true Gospel ministry given to you? 4. How can churches help people distinguish between a true and genuine calling to ministry and simply desiring a ministry position? 5. How would our church look differently if God's glory was the measure of success? (Galatians 1:24- "And the glorified God because of me."

    Galatians 1:6-10 | Gospel Fidelity

    Not every gospel is the true Gospel. Pastor Blaine continues our study through Galatians in Galatians 1:6–10, reminding us that fake gospels don’t lead us closer to God—they lead us away from Him. The Gospel is not ours to change, improve, or redefine. There is no other Gospel. Galatians 1:6-10 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel—not that there is another one, but there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed. For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ. Sermon Notes: Main Idea: Fake Gospels Lead Us Away from God I. Fake Gospels Are a Path to Un-Repentance II. Fake Gospels Are the Distortions of False Teachers III. Fake Gospels Are a Grounds for God’s Wrath IV. Fake Gospels Are a Pursuit of Man’s Approval V. Fake Gospels Are the Concern of the Whole Church

    Psalm 133 | A Song of Unity

    Pastor Blaine preaches through Psalm 133 about unity, showing us how the goodness of church unity is worth our energy! Psalm 133 Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity! It is like the precious oil on the head, running down on the beard, on the beard of Aaron, running down on the collar of his robes! It is like the dew of Hermon, which falls on the mountains of Zion!

    Psalm 132 | A Song of Choosing

    Pastor Blaine continues our sermon series through the Psalms of Ascent as we arrive at Psalm 132, a Song of Choosing. Psalm 132 Remember, O Lord, in David's favor, all the hardships he endured, how he swore to the Lord and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob, “I will not enter my house or get into my bed, I will not give sleep to my eyes or slumber to my eyelids, until I find a place for the Lord, a dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob.” Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah; we found it in the fields of Jaar. “Let us go to his dwelling place; let us worship at his footstool!” Arise, O Lord, and go to your resting place, you and the ark of your might. Let your priests be clothed with righteousness, and let your saints shout for joy. For the sake of your servant David, do not turn away the face of your anointed one. The Lord swore to David a sure oath from which he will not turn back: “One of the sons of your body[a] I will set on your throne. If your sons keep my covenant and my testimonies that I shall teach them, their sons also forever shall sit on your throne.” For the Lord has chosen Zion; he has desired it for his dwelling place: “This is my resting place forever; here I will dwell, for I have desired it. I will abundantly bless her provisions; I will satisfy her poor with bread. Her priests I will clothe with salvation, and her saints will shout for joy. There I will make a horn to sprout for David; I have prepared a lamp for my anointed. His enemies I will clothe with shame, but on him his crown will shine.” Sermon Notes: Main Idea: King Jesus Guarantees Our Status with God I. Our Status Is Secured by a Worthy King II. Our Status Is Sure in a Faithful God III. Our Status Is Savored in His Presence

    Psalm 131 | A Song of Rest

    Pastor Brent continues in the Psalms of Ascent as he preaches through Psalm 131, a Song of Rest. Psalm 131 O Lord, my heart is not lifted up; my eyes are not raised too high; I do not occupy myself with things too great and too marvelous for me. But I have calmed and quieted my soul, like a weaned child with its mother; like a weaned child is my soul within me. O Israel, hope in the Lord from this time forth and forevermore. Sermon Notes: Main Idea: The contented heart rests in God. I. Things David does NOT do II. Things David has done III. Things God's people should do Reflection: Are you resting in God? Have you quieted your soul? Where do you think that you know better than God? Do you experience contentment as a fruit of trusting in God's providence?
