Common Tables May 25, 2025 sermon. The Sixth Sunday of Easter - Galatians 1:13-17; 2:11-21 (CEB) // The Code You Live By w/Drew Willson

MESSAGE | Dr. Brian Payne (Pastor) "The Apostle Paul: Christ's Man, With Christ's Message, For Christ's Mission" Galatians 1:11-24 1 | Paul's Pre-Conversion: The Persecutor (v. 11-14) 2 | Paul's Conversion: The Believer (v. 15-16a) 3 | Paul's Post-Conversion: The Preacher (v. 16b-24)

From the very first verses, Paul confronts the Galatians for turning to a different gospel, one that is no gospel at all. This chapter is more than a rebuke. It is also Paul's testimony about how the Gospel came to him directly from Christ and changed everything. He speaks with urgency because the truth of salvation is at stake.  The Rev. Dr. Alfonso Espinosa, pastor of St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Irvine, CA, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Galatians 1:1–24.  To learn more about St. Paul's, visit saintpaulsirvine.org There's urgency in Paul's voice. No warm greetings. No slow build. Just a sharp rebuke: “I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting Him who called you.” The stakes are that high.   Galatians is Paul's bold stand for the pure Gospel message: Christ crucified and risen, apart from works of the law. When freedom in Christ is threatened by legalism or confused with license, Paul doesn't hold back. He calls the Church back to the cross, to the promise, and to the Spirit. In this series on Thy Strong Word, we walk verse by verse through one of the most foundational and explosive letters in the New Testament. The message is clear: You are justified by faith, not by what you do.   Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.

Last week we ventured into Paul's letter to the GalatiansRight away we learned that he was not pleased with these Christians- he accused them of deserting Jesus for “another gospel”• but he hasn't defined that other gospel specifically• that's what he does in the next section of the letter that we will cover today- beginning in verse 11, Paul writes a brief autobiography• he does this because his personal history tells a story• as we make our way through this passage I'm going to include details supplied by the Book of Acts◦ that will give us a fuller perspective of the problem in the region of Galatia

Join us as we continue our series in the book of Galatians. Looking for a church?

Galatians 1-2 | Expansion

Galatians 1-2 | Reflection

I'm going to make this simple, and show you what I see in the introduction to this letterFirst, there's something different about the way it begins- in Paul's usual typical greetings he identifies himself, his title, and whoever else is with him• then, he greets and blesses his readers with, “grace and peace”• but in this letter, before he mentions his companions, he takes a detour◦ he turns this simple greeting into a strong assertion- humans had nothing to do with Paul becoming an apostleit was “not from man nor through man”- this cuts to the heart of what Paul wants to say in this letter• he'll spend most of the first two chapters with autobiography◦ how he was inspired and the revelations that came to him• but that is because Paul is very upset, as will become obvious◦ if you've ever been “lectured” by a parent, a police officer, or a teacher,◦ you will recognize how Paul is dealing with the Galatians

Send us a textDive into a fascinating exploration of God's triune nature through the Hebrew word "Akid," which reveals how God can be both three and one. Unlike "Yaqid" (absolute singularity), "Akid" describes a "united one" – distinct persons forming a perfect unity. This key linguistic distinction unlocks our understanding of the Trinity throughout Scripture.The discussion examines biblical examples where "Akid" appears – from the creation account's "evening and morning were one day" to male and female becoming "one flesh" in marriage. These illustrations provide a foundation for comprehending how Father, Son, and Holy Spirit constitute one God while remaining distinct persons.The conversation tackles common misconceptions, particularly modalism (Oneness theology), which incorrectly teaches that Jesus is simultaneously Father, Son, and Spirit. Participants demonstrate why this view contradicts numerous Scripture passages showing interaction between the divine persons, such as Jesus' baptism and his promise to send the Holy Spirit.What makes this discussion particularly valuable is its emphasis on approaching the Trinity with intellectual humility. As one participant notes, rejecting the Trinity often stems from pride – an unwillingness to accept that God's nature might transcend human understanding. The Trinity isn't merely an academic doctrine but affects how we understand salvation itself.You'll gain insights into why this doctrine requires a comprehensive reading of Scripture rather than isolated proof texts, and why the Holy Spirit's illumination is essential for grasping this profound truth. The discussion also touches on modern cultural distractions that pull believers away from worship and biblical literacy.Whether you're a seasoned theologian or simply curious about Christianity's central doctrine, this thoughtful conversation will deepen your appreciation for God's complex yet beautifully coherent nature. Listen now to strengthen your theological foundation and grow in your understanding of who God truly is.Support the show

Send us a textThe gospel of grace stands unrivaled in its simplicity and power - yet throughout history, there has always been a tendency to corrupt it with additions. In this illuminating exploration of Galatians, we dive deep into Paul's astonishment that the Galatian believers so quickly abandoned the pure message of grace for a distorted version that required law-keeping alongside faith.At the heart of this discussion is Galatians 2:16, the verse that sparked the Protestant Reformation when Martin Luther discovered its revolutionary truth: "knowing that a man is not justified by the works of law but by faith in Jesus Christ." This single verse dismantled centuries of religious tradition and restored the simplicity of salvation by faith alone. We examine why this concept remains so difficult for many to accept - how our natural pride resists the idea that we contribute nothing to our salvation.The fascinating connection between theological distortions throughout history provides a powerful backdrop for understanding Paul's urgent warning. We explore how Moses Maimonides' subtle change in describing God's nature as "Yachid" (absolute one) rather than "Echad" (united one) created massive barriers to Jewish understanding of the Trinity, paralleling how small additions to the gospel message create entirely false gospels.When Christ declared "It is finished" on the cross, He wasn't suggesting His work was merely a partial solution requiring our supplemental efforts. The gospel stands complete in itself - salvation comes through faith alone, and anything added corrupts the entire message. As Paul boldly states, even if an angel from heaven preached any other gospel, "let him be accursed."For those wrestling with legalism, works-based religion, or questions about the sufficiency of grace, this examination of Galatians provides profound clarity. The freedom Paul fought to preserve remains our inheritance today - a salvation so complete that it requires nothing but faith in what Christ has already accomplished.Support the show

Send us a textThat moment when someone attacks your faith but can't handle the truth you're speaking—they don't address your message but instead accuse you of being "unloving" or "prideful." Sound familiar?The gospel has always been what one speaker calls "the sinner's repellent." When shared truthfully, it's never easily palatable. It demands repentance and submission to God's sovereignty—a hard pill to swallow for those seeking spiritual experiences without surrender.We explore how prosperity preachers position themselves as uniquely anointed apostles with special powers, creating entertainment-focused ministries that draw crowds but may present a distorted version of Christianity. These charismatic manifestations sometimes mirror practices found in non-Christian spiritual traditions, yet many believers lack the theological foundation to recognize these deviations.The conversation delves into the critical importance of Christology—understanding who Jesus truly is forms the foundation of authentic faith. Without this, everything becomes distorted. As one participant notes, "If you don't know who Jesus is, start at the book of John," which was specifically written to address Gnostic misunderstandings about Christ's nature.Perhaps most profound is the discussion about predestination and God's sovereign choice in salvation. "If there was no predestination, there would be no grace, because that's where grace began," explains one speaker, highlighting how God's election forms the root of all spiritual blessing.What shines through most clearly is the evident joy these believers find in pursuing greater knowledge of God. Despite being decades into their faith journeys, they speak of growing intensity in their desire to understand God's Word. "I love trying to figure Him out," one person shares—a beautiful testament to lifelong discipleship characterized by both intellectual curiosity and spiritual devotion.Ready to deepen your understanding of authentic faith? Listen now and discover how to stand firm in biblical truth while growing in both knowledge and grace.Support the show

Send us a textEver wonder how your darkest moments might be preparing you for something greater? Paul's journey from religious zealot to gospel preacher offers a powerful blueprint for understanding God's redemptive work in our lives.The conversation dives deep into Galatians where Paul boldly declares that his gospel came "not from man, but through revelation of Jesus Christ." This isn't mere theological posturing—it's a revolutionary claim that challenges everything about how we understand conversion and calling.What makes Paul's testimony so compelling is the dramatic contrast between his former life and his ministry. As he puts it, "I persecuted the church of God beyond measure and tried to destroy it." He wasn't just casually opposed to Christianity; he was its chief opponent, "profiting in Judaism above many" of his contemporaries. This background eliminated any human explanation for his transformation.The most profound insight emerges when Paul reveals: "When it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb and called me by His grace, to reveal His Son in me." This recognition that God set him apart from birth—long before his Damascus road encounter—revolutionizes how we understand divine purpose. Even Paul's years of persecution fell within God's sovereign plan.Listeners share powerful personal testimonies that mirror Paul's experience—from practicing witchcraft to finding Christ, from religious pride to humble service. These stories illustrate how God often repurposes our strongest traits—whether zeal, intellect, or determination—redirecting them from destruction to proclamation.Ready to discover how your past might be preparing you for your purpose? Join us as we continue exploring Galatians, where justification by faith, the true Israel of God, and Paul's confrontation with Peter await in coming episodes. Your own Damascus road moment might be closer than you think.Support the show

Send us a textSomething profound has shifted in modern Christianity. What was once considered sacred and non-negotiable—gathering together on Sunday mornings for worship—has become optional, inconvenient, and increasingly abandoned.This candid conversation explores why Sunday worship matters beyond tradition or obligation. We trace the spiritual significance of Sunday as the commemoration of Christ's resurrection and the establishment of the new covenant. More importantly, we examine why this day has become a battleground, with entertainment, sports, and secular events deliberately scheduled to compete with worship time.The contrast is striking: Christians who meticulously plan Super Bowl parties weeks in advance—coordinating food, activities, and spending significant money—but struggle to muster enthusiasm for weekly worship. Some churches even cancel services to accommodate sporting events while hosting elaborate watch parties in the same building later that day. This reveals our true priorities and the spiritual apathy that has infected Western Christianity."You don't have to go," one participant observed, "but why would you not want to?" This question cuts to the heart of our spiritual condition. When believers in countries where church gatherings are illegal risk everything to worship together, while American Christians debate whether fellowship is "necessary," we're confronting a crisis of spiritual desire, not mere scheduling conflicts.The biblical metaphor of believers as a "flock" that naturally stays together stands in stark contrast to today's individualistic approach to faith. Jesus himself, found in the temple at age twelve, reminded his searching parents, "Didn't you know I had to be in my Father's house?" His natural inclination was toward the gathering of God's people.Join us as we challenge the growing acceptance of church absenteeism and recapture the joy that should accompany gathering with fellow believers—not out of obligation, but from a heart that longs to be where God's people meet.Support the show

Send us a textWhat happens when we try to add human requirements to God's free gift of salvation? A fascinating, passionate discussion unfolds as believers wrestle with Paul's unwavering commitment to the pure gospel of grace in Galatians.The conversation begins with a foundational question about biblical inspiration. Were Paul's writings truly God-breathed, or did he invent his own version of Christianity? Through careful examination of Scripture, the group affirms that Paul's message aligns perfectly with Christ's teachings, despite modern attempts to drive a wedge between them.At the heart of this spiritual exploration lies a profound psychological insight: humans struggle to accept pure grace. We're culturally conditioned to reject "charity," believing we must earn everything we receive. Yet the gospel deliberately humiliates this pride, offering salvation completely free from human merit or effort. As one participant powerfully observes, "If you can get to God the Father by keeping the law, salvation through Christ is unnecessary."The discussion touches on transformative "eureka moments" in faith—those instances when difficult biblical truths suddenly click into place after periods of wrestling. Rather than softening challenging doctrines to make them more palatable, true disciples present God's Word in its fullness, trusting the Holy Spirit to illuminate understanding in His timing.Whether you're questioning the relationship between faith and works, struggling with religious pride, or simply seeking to understand biblical inspiration more deeply, this conversation offers profound insights into the revolutionary simplicity of the gospel: Jesus Christ plus nothing.Support the show

Send us a textThe battle for the purity of the gospel message has raged since the earliest days of Christianity. In this deep dive into Galatians chapter 1, we explore Paul's passionate defense of the unadulterated gospel of grace against those who would add requirements to it.When Paul writes that he "marvels" at how quickly the Galatian believers were turning to a different gospel, he's expressing genuine shock and dismay. The Judaizers—early Jewish Christians who insisted Gentile converts needed to follow the Law of Moses—were effectively undermining the very foundation of salvation by grace. This episode unpacks Paul's powerful assertion that "the gospel plus anything, or the gospel minus any part of it, suddenly is no longer the gospel."We examine why Paul's language is so strong when he pronounces that anyone preaching a modified gospel should be "accursed"—even if that person were Paul himself or an angel from heaven. This isn't mere rhetorical excess but reflects the eternal stakes involved when the message of salvation is corrupted.The discussion tackles contemporary applications as well. Many religious groups today—from Catholicism to Mormonism to various denominations—hold to aspects of the gospel while adding requirements that transform it into "another gospel." We clarify the role of baptism as an important symbol of our faith that doesn't contribute to salvation itself, addressing the persistent human tendency to want to add something to Christ's finished work.Particularly striking is Paul's rhetorical question: "Do I now persuade men or God?" His concern wasn't winning human approval but faithfully representing God's truth—a challenging reminder for Christians today who might be tempted to soften the gospel's edges to make it more palatable.Whether you're struggling with legalism, curious about what makes the true gospel distinct, or simply wanting to deepen your understanding of Galatians, this episode offers clear, biblical teaching on why grace alone is the foundation of authentic Christian faith.Support the show

Send us a textWhy do so many Christians bristle at the doctrine of predestination? This profound conversation explores how modern believers often avoid or dismiss biblical teachings that challenge their sense of autonomy and choice."They don't like it because it dethrones them," one participant observes, cutting to the heart of our resistance to God's sovereignty. The doctrine of predestination—God's election of individuals for salvation before the foundation of the world—runs throughout Scripture, yet remains one of the most contested teachings in contemporary churches.We examine how "professional church" culture contributes to this problem, with pastors avoiding controversial doctrines to maintain attendance numbers rather than presenting the full counsel of God. This creates Christians with "minds full of mush" who are shaped by partial truths rather than the complete biblical revelation.The discussion delves into the nature of God Himself, exploring how He transcends human limitations and categories. God doesn't think sequentially as we do, doesn't see with physical eyes, yet knows and sees all things. When we grasp this transcendent nature, doctrines like predestination become more comprehensible.Perhaps most powerfully, we consider how our cultural conditioning against acceptance of help makes grace difficult to understand. We live in a society that tells us to "pull ourselves up by our bootstraps," then wonder why we struggle with a salvation that comes entirely by grace.As one participant eloquently states: "They think they're the potter and God is their clay"—a perfect summation of how humans try to fashion God according to their preferences rather than submitting to His sovereign design. Join us for this thought-provoking exploration of biblical truth that challenges comfortable Christianity.Support the show
