Are you accidentally building your life on a version of Jesus that doesn't exist? There are a lot of false gospels you can follow, but they all lead to a place of disappointment and doubt. In this series, we'll explore Paul's Letter to the Galatians, how to spot false gospels, and how to build our lives on the true good news of Jesus.Part 6
This weekend, we'll finish out the second chapter of Galatians. After laying the groundwork for his overall agenda, Paul will establish his main argument for the rest of the book in Galatians 2:17-21. He's going to cast a vision for the life we're missing out on when we cling to earning.
As we begin this passage, you may notice something unusual. Paul, in almost every other letter, begins with thanksgiving. Even when writing to the troubled church in Corinth, Paul could still thank God for His grace at work among them. But not here. Not in Galatians. There is no thanksgiving, no pause for polite greetings, no gentle buildup. Instead, Paul comes in with the shock of holy astonishment: “I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ…” Something had gone terribly wrong in these churches. They had started well, embracing the gospel of grace that Paul preached — salvation through faith in Christ alone. But now, they were turning to what Paul calls “a different gospel,” a distortion that added requirements to the finished work of Jesus. In this case, it was the teaching of Judaizers — insisting that Gentile believers needed to obey the ceremonial law, including circumcision, to be fully accepted by God. And, brothers and sisters, this is not just an ancient problem. The temptation to believe in Christ plus something else is alive and well today. Christ plus performance. Christ plus tradition. Christ plus a certain spiritual experience. The problem is, when you add anything to Christ, you don't enhance the gospel — you lose it altogether. This passage is God's urgent word to His church: there is no other gospel. Not then, not now, not ever. And so this morning, we will walk carefully through these verses to understand their meaning, to see how Christ fulfills them, and to hear how the Spirit calls us to cling to the one true gospel with unwavering faith.

This weekend, we're walking through Galatians 2:11-16, where Paul confronts Peter in one of the most important moments in the early church. It's a story about conflict, courage, and what it looks like to live with gospel freedom.

This weekend, we'll face a difficult truth: you can't hold on to both legalism and the Gospel at the same time. In Galatians 2:1–10, Paul recounts his meeting in Jerusalem to defend the true Gospel — a timely reminder for anyone tempted to add rules where God offers grace.

Why does doctrine matter? In this episode of Light + Truth, John Piper shows from Galatians 1:6–10 that those who reject the true gospel reject God himself.

This weekend, we'll begin our verse-by-verse study of Galatians. The apostle Paul opens his letter with a passionate call to get back to gospel clarity. In Galatians 1:1-9, we'll see that the major themes of the letter are rooted in its first few sentences.

The Galatian church was made up of new believers that Judaizers sought to lead astray with a false gospel of Works. Paul's letter reminds them that salvation is by faith in Christ (not by our works). The New Covenant in Christ means freedom and unity as the Holy Spirit writes the Law of God on our hearts.

Galatians 1:1-9 ESV Paul, an apostle—not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead— and all the brothers who are with me, To the churches of Galatia: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, who gave himself for our sins to deliver us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen. 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.
In this episode, Austin Edwards preaches through Galatians 1:1-9
