When we read the word apostle in our New Testament, we often think of the 12 apostles commissioned by Jesus, the word's most common use. However, it is not always used in speaking of the 12. Barnabas, for instance, is referred to as an apostle in (Acts 14:4).

Galatians 1:6-9
Notice the tone of Paul's language. He is disturbed that some in Galatia are deserting the One who called them in the grace of Christ. He uses military language: They are deserting or in the process of turning away from the gospel. Paul is astonished that this departure is happening so quickly after he left.

Last week, we began our series on Galatians by considering some of the background. In this lesson, we will continue looking at the opening of Paul's letter, verses (1-5). The nature of this letter, as well as the trials and conflicts Paul is dealing with, underscores the importance of understanding the context. Reading Galatians and gaining a proper understanding for our lives today requires us to explore the background. Thi...

In this series, we are asking: "Why do we do what we do?" Many of us have grown up in the church, and we inherited some traditions and practices from our parents or grandparents, and it is something we have always done. For others, we could be new in our walk with the Lord, or perhaps we have not thought about it much. Are these practices important? What is the significance of the practices we participate in together ...

Concluding our series, Bearing Witness, we notice the apostle Paul. Paul served with several women as he shared the gospel. We see in his letter to the Romans how impactful women were in the early church movement and the ministry of Christ.
This week we consider a woman who had an extensive impact in her community using the smallest of tools. Tools that she had in her hands. As we continue our series, Bearing Witness, let's look at the example of Tabitha in Acts 9. We are considering the lives of several women we read about in the New Testament. In looking at their stories and reading these accounts, I hope we learn from their lives as we discover their significance i...

As we begin our series, I would like for us to consider a woman who, among other women, supported the ministry of Jesus. She was a faithful and devoted follower of Jesus and supported Jesus of her own means. We know her best as the woman Jesus healed of seven evil spirits, Mary Magdalene.

I believe for many of us, reading the Bible is challenging--even if the act of reading comes easily to you. The Bible is a large book. However, as Christians, we should not let the size or even the complexities of the Bible discourage us from reading the Bible.
