Simple Gospel
A Study in Galatians
How to Share the Gospel
June 4, 2024 • Adam Derus
Paul expects every believer to trust the gospel of Jesus Christ, live the gospel, and share the gospel. Together we demystify evangelism by explaining the basics of the gospel presentation so that every believer can be confident to explain the saving truth of Jesus. A Q&A with Adam and Joel is at the end of this episode.
The Anatomy of True Religion
May 21, 2024 • Joel Martin
Perhaps the most terrifying words one could hear are "Depart from me I never knew you." We may profess to follow Jesus, but how do we know if our faith is genuine? Paul lays out the marks of true religion in his closing words to the Galatian church. Be reminded what true faith looks like!
Risk Loving Others for the Glory of God
May 14, 2024 • Adam Derus • Galatians 6:1–10
Paul expects that our freedom in Christ leads to loving God and loving others. But loving others is a risk and requires us to jump into the mess of life. Risky love restores sinners, bears burdens, and shares sacrificially. Are you willing to risk loving others for the glory of God?
Keep on Walking in the Spirit
April 30, 2024 • Adam Derus
Paul gives one of the most important commands in the entire Christian life: Walk in the Spirit. To understand better why and how we do that, we unpack five key words to help us live by the Spirit – Motivation, Source, Battle, Contrast, and Consistency.
A Spiritual Ancestry Test
April 9, 2024 • Christian Lefko
Paul uses the story of Sarah and Hagar to illustrate two different ways of approaching religion: human effort vs. divine grace. His Jewish opponents were confident that they were in the correct lineage of Abraham. But Paul demonstrates that they are actually in the line of Hagar, and thus the line of slavery. He challenges the Galatians, and us, who are in the line of Isaac, not to turn back to the slavery of the law. For, in Christ, they are children of the promise and therefore free.
The Assurance of Adoption
March 26, 2024 • Adam Derus
Many Christians lack assurance of salvation, not because they doubt the power of God, but because they doubt whether that power has saved them. Come and see how the Son came to make many sons, and how the power of adoption provides a basis for biblical assurance.
What Is the Gospel?
March 19, 2024 • Joel Martin
We say things like the main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing. The gospel is central. But have we stopped to consider? What is the gospel precisely? Is it the resurrection? Substitutionary atonement? Baptism? What is included? What isn’t necessary? Come find out!
Gospel Defended
February 20, 2024 • Adam Derus • Galatians 2:11–21
After being entrusted with the gospel, Paul begins to defend the purity and truth of the gospel. Through Paul's confrontation with Peter, we see that we are to defend the gospel against hypocrisy, against barriers to grace, and against misapplication.
